Morning and Afternoon Cuteness!
Aren’t these kids adorable? We already know this, of course, but more photos are never unwelcome, right? 🙂 Kendall was the cat’s pajamas this morning in her, ah, cat pajamas, holding onto her little big cats. (English teachers, forgive me that awkward sentence!) After school, Brian was just glowing in the afternoon sun, rocking out to some Cheap Trick, wearing his cool t-shirt with a quote from their song “Surrender“. (Yes, the shirt is quite hipster-ironic and...

We spent a lot of our Memorial Day at home, just relaxing.. But, eventually, we did make it out of the house and paid a visit to the Life and Science Museum in Durham!

The kids loved discovering the big colorful dragon sculpture, and the stone garden. Kendall kept trying to pick up the round ones, saying “ball!” We liked the desert...

Just couldn’t pass it up, even rock tees are cuter in miniature! So glad they both got to wear it–and, that they like the...
Read MoreFriday Night at Chili’s
Today after school, Brian told us he wanted to go to the place where he could circle the pictures of what he wanted to eat on the menu. I knew that had to mean Chili’s–since the kids’ menu is on the coloring page they get. To entertain/help him decide, I had Brian circle the things he wanted last time we went to one. We didn’t have any other plans, so we went along with Brian’s plan. It was early enough that we were seated quickly, and Brian enjoyed picking...
