Build-A-Bear!

Today was one of those rare days where Kendall had a teacher workday, and Brian didn’t!  Brandon and I both stayed home today and took turns hanging with her, and working.  She and Brandon took a trip to the Bass Pro Shops this morning (yup, after more Plano boxes!) and she came home with a cute Tinkerbell fishing rod!  It’s similar to Brian’s Star Wars one, in that it came with some foam “fish” to practice on, and it makes fun sound effects when she casts it.  I...

Dragon Mac!

Today we surprised the kids with Dragon 2 macaroni and cheese!  They thought the viking shapes were really cool.  Also included, pics of Brian at his haircut place, and Kendall in her new Wildstyle (a character from the Lego Movie) nightgown.  It’s sized for a bigger girl, but once she saw it, there was no holding off on...

First Grade!

Today Brian officially started first grade!  He has some brand-new How to Train Your Dragon 2 school supplies, and he was very excited to start the new school year.  First through fifth graders just do the regular carpool on the first day, so just he went on in by himself!  But he’s a pro, so we weren’t worried. 🙂  Root’s new on-campus after school program doesn’t start for another week, so that means, we have to be on afternoon carpool as well!  This is a whole new...
