The Big Zoo

We had a lazy day, playing at home today!  We all slept late, and forgot to do some things we had planned to do..  Instead, we stayed in our pajamas far too long, and just played on the floor with the kids.  One of the things we did was create a gigantic Lego Duplo zoo!  We have at least four sets of zoo-themed Duplos, and putting them all together, wow–we had enclosures for every kind of animal, and Brian enjoyed giving each kind of animal the right kind of food.  It was a challenge,...

Record Store Day!

I seem to have been bitten by the record collector bug once again, and I’ve been upgrading my turntable and working on creating a database of all our records and CDs.  I decided to share some of my hobby with Brian today, and took him with me to go celebrate Record Store Day at a couple of our local independent record shops!  There aren’t too many left these days, but two of my old favorites are still kicking–Schoolkids Records and Nice Price Books.  We went to Nice Price...

Mystery Readers!

Today was a special day for us at Goddard School–Brandon and I got to be Mystery Readers for Brian’s class!  Different parents took turns reading some of their child’s favorites for the class this week.  Brian was pretty surprised when it was our turn!  We brought in two of his favorites, Punk Farm and Punk Farm on Tour.  Brandon read the original and I read the sequel.  I made a video of Brandon reading, since he does such a great job with it!  🙂   After the books, we played...
