I love reading this update and glimpsing your kids as they are now. "Sometimes great, sometimes a complete butt" sounds about right for 13. (I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Z is a rising high school freshman. I mean. I. What.)
I'm glad that middle school hasn't been as socially horrific for J as it was for some of us. (z's year has been SUCH a mixed bag -- the high school aged theater and orchestra friends are a gift, and the kids who started bullying him when he made his Big Social Mistake in February are just the worst.)
Cloud cuckoolander is a great description of G. (And heh, yes, save the psychoactive drugs until his brain is actually formed.)
