Ol is 11; humor break

Friends, I would be lying if I said I’m up tonight. I’m not. I’m tired AF. That said, as moms will, I do believe I ensured Ol had a marvelous birthday today (thank you Tom’s parents for coming over midday to celebrate with us; thank you friends and family for your many calls and FaceTimes), and that is most important. He’s 11, he feels love and feted, and he’s healthy. Winning. Plus Star Wars, in terms of both cake and the release of The Rise of Skywalker.

A few quick comedic shares (as always, things in blue are links: click on them for fun n joy)":

Did these Alabamans find a leprechaun? People, the sketch artist’s sketch. And the guy who says “See a leprechaun, say yay!” Also, the crackhead theory.

Hilarious quarantine responses thus far + lovely ones too

Chicago aquarium closes but lets penguins out to see the exhibits

Our neighborhood is doing a Shamrock Scavenger Hunt tomorrow in which houses place a drawing or whatever of a shamrock in a street-facing window, and kids out for walks with their families can see how many they can find. Ol has ours ready to go! We’re also doing an art show in much the same way- posting art of any kind in windows to share with neighbors walking past.

I’m off to make my baby’s birthday cake- he turns 11 tomorrow! Hope you are all staying well and keeping sane.
