Rebel Helmets for Star Wars Day
May the Fourth be with you! It’s Star Wars day, so Brandon and I picked up the special prize at the Lego store for the kids, and got them these fun paper rebel helmets, which they got to decorate with stickers. Pretty cool! It was also Kendall’s art show, so we made sure to check out all of her artwork on display at her school. Nice work, Kendall! I liked all of her artwork, but I think she was most proud of this red caterpillar she had painted. We stopped by the cemetary on...
Read MoreWacky Sunday
Brian had his portraits made in his hockey gear today, so look for those soon. 🙂 Both kids have been in very wacky moods today, just all over the place! Mint chocolate chip ice cream at Grandma’s after Sunday dinner was a fun treat. At bedtime, the kids wanted to play with their baby blankets–they even made me go and get out Brian’s blue blanket that’s similar to Kendall’s pink...
Read MoreBrian’s Angry Birds
Much to our chagrin, Brian set up his Star Wars Angry Birds on the kitchen floor. We made him pick it up fairly quickly, but he did enjoy it while he could! I’ve been reorganizing some cabinets and found this glass from the Linux Expo that Brandon and I went to. 1998 doesn’t feel that long ago to us, but it seems like the dark ages to the kids....

Brian made a truly amazing picture, inspired by one of his favorite books, “The Day The Crayons Quit”. It took three large sheets of paper, taped together, for him to complete his vision....
Read MoreCutie Kendall
Just some cute photos of Kendall this morning, and this evening. Also, our messy porch after a hailstorm! Brian seems both fascinated with and scared of hail. We had only pea-sized hail today, but others were not so lucky. Earlier this month, Rosemary and Sytse had a lot of damage to their house and cars from some golf-ball and larger sized hail....
Read MoreMonday Mayhem
Kendall sure was a cutie this morning, playing with her blocks. Brian drew this cute little robot on the easel paper–so many colors for a little droid! Brandon went to check and see if Steve’s marker had been installed yet. It hadn’t, but, they have it onsite and it should be ready soon. He pretty much insisted that Brandon come take a look at it, since it was out sitting on some sawhorses. 🙂 I spied a pretty amazing piece of artwork on the couch today–but it...
