Brian’s Dragonfly

We missed Brian’s second STEM night due to some severe weather..  He was pretty broken up about it, but we didn’t want to take the risk when there were such strong storms and tornado warnings.  He’d worked very hard on a project, so this morning we both went into his classroom to see it!  Brian and his partner built this dragonfly and labeled its parts.  If we’d gone to the event, Brian was going to teach us all about it–so, we asked him to give us his lesson this...

We got Kendall a five-pack of alphabet Star Wars t-shirts in size 4T, thinking she’d have to grow into them..  She’s having none of that, insisting on wearing them Right Now!  Most days of the week!  And usually, not with anything that even comes close to matching them!  Today’s outfit choice wasn’t so wild, and I think the “B is for Boba Fett” shirt might just be her favorite. 😉  Hey, they’re helping her learn her letters, right?  Also included, the...

Today, Brandon and the kids let me sleep in!  They headed out early to go to Lowe’s Build and Grow, where Brian and Kendall worked together to build a cute flower delivery van!  They also bought me a lovely lily plant.  It looks like they had a great time building together!  When they came home, I was presented with beautiful bouquet of flowers, a fancy coffee from Caribou, and a huge spread of Bruegger’s bagels and sandwiches!  Wow, all this, and it’s not even mother’s...
