- The day Wade left for Los Angeles, I was feeling very sad about missing my partner and also at the thought of being alone with two small crazy people for several days. When I got the mail that afternoon, there was a box in the mailbox. The label was addressed to "Allison Chlamydia Wilson" - so I knew that whoever sent this box had a masters degree in awesomeness. Upon opening the box, I found these sunglasses, courtesy of my cool friends Becca and Zach. If you know them, then you are lucky. If you don't, then I am sorry because you are missing out.

| I moustache you a question |
- Over the weekend, I made this marshmallow fondant princess frog for my friend Kim. Audrey is bff with her youngest daughter, and it was her birthday. This frog was actually fun to make, and there was no crying or swearing, or kicking over folding chairs like a pro wrestler (ahem. Harry Potter Lego birthday cake incident.)
There was leftover fondant, so I let Julian play with it, and he made Pikachu, and some bees. He's rad.
- Speaking of how rad Julian is, he was in 2 student films at the university where Wade works, and they have been nominated for a Student Academy Award. What the what!!! The major one is this film, "Birthday Psalm", because he was the main character. He is only 8, yet already so much cooler than I will ever be.
- Audrey is so much fun, and a total nutbag all in one. She is so very two years old, and sneaks away to color on every surface in the house, and is suddenly fearful of the bath tub (despite being a former bath lover) because she swears, "Monssers! Coming for me! Eeeeeeee!!!" Today, I tried to make her take a nap in her own bed because she is getting cooler all the time and is no longer a neversleeper. The girl sleeps through the night now, and takes naps almost every day. I will take this over her former 3-hours-a-day sleeping habit any day. So, I was in her room and lying on this little fold-up futon on her floor, and I told her that she needed to climb into her bed, and I would hold her hand so she could fall asleep. This is our routine. She says, "Hand!" and we hold hands, and she falls asleep. But today, she would not, and would only say, "Sit up. Audie stowwy." She wanted to sit up in her bed, and tell me a story. It was like this: "One-saponna tieeeee, Audie anna monsser paying." (Once upon a time, Audrey and a monster were playing.) It went on like this for too flipping long, and she never took a nap today. But she was crazy cute, so that helps.

Did you seriously make that cake? That crazy- full on sculpture. Super impressive! So happy to hear that Audrey is finally sleeping better (I'm jealous, I wish I could learn her secret). Good sleep makes everything so much more tolerable and I love how you transcribe her sweet little talk. I'm excited for that stage!
Thanks! I truthfully only made the frog. The rest of the cake was done professionally. Marshmallow fondant is super easy to make, and is a pretty fun modeling clay to work with that you can eat later (although, it's very sugary and kind of gross tasting, so I'm not sure that anyone would want to.) My kids can't use Play-Doh because of the wheat in it, so they really like being able to make their own clay.
so glad we could provide magical mustache brightness and light during an otherwise shitty week for you. You deserve all the sunglass mustaches in the world, lady. And WOW YAY HOORAY for Julian! That is so kick ass. When he's famous, will he remember his auntie becca? :). Love you guys... oh and ps- his flig-flops are still at dedela's, which is not a problem... they're chillin on the porch for you. LOOOOOVE.
What the heck, you're a marshmallow fondant sculptress? What else are you hiding from us?
Two more things:
Julian is awesome.
Audrey makes me smile.
I don't even know you guys but man I wish I did.
First, I love mustaches. Second, that cake is amazing. You have mad skills. :)
wow! that cake is awesome!
anyway to view your son's film?
Ohhhh, dang. I do need to go pick those flip flops up. Thanks for reminding me. Maybe I'll go and hang out with Annie one day and we'll head to Starbucks, and I can get them then. :)
I want you guys to adopt me because your family seems so awesome and fun. Why are cool internet people living so far away from meeeee? We should at least be facebook friends, if you're on there. (Are you?)
Thanks! Marshmallow fondant is super fun to play with because it's like a play-doh that you can eat!
Thank you!
And unfortunately, I tried googling around for a link to his film, but couldn't find anything. If I'm able to get one, I'll definitely put it up here, because it's pretty cool.
You are clearly cheating in the Child Adorability department of life. Your children are just too cool.
P.S. Every time I see a picture of Julian, I'm all, "Westley?" Are we secretly related somehow? Maybe if I met Julian in person I wouldn't think so, but I really can't get over how much our little dudes look alike.
Please tell me you did not seriously make that frog. Seriously?! AMAZINGSAUCE x 1 million!
I love that you listed out all those interactions with Audrey. That made my night to read. Thank you for being mustache awesome.
Aww, thanks! She's a really fun lady. I love all the sweet pics you post of Ever.
I did!! And thank you!
Thanks! I think they're pretty great.
Dude. I think that when I see pictures of Westley too. But in reverse. I get these glimpses of Julian-past when I see your blog posts. And all this stuff about him only wanting a sister...Julian was that way too. Flat out refused to believe that it was even possible for him to have a brother.
