Saturday Hockey
Another busy Saturday started out with the Lowe’s Build and Grow See-It-Grow Clinic. Brian built a planter with a plexi-glass side to watch roots growing in the soil! Later, in the afternoon, Brian had a house league clinic at the IcePlex where he did as good as ever. Kendall went to town, er, restaurant with her play food. She also took to working with a lot of Play-Doh food and princesses. For a little down-time, Kendall wanted to read one of Brian’s favorite books,...

Kendall wanted me to twirl her hair up in a bun this evening. It’s long enough to make a pretty substantial...
Read MoreCrystal Mining
Today I let Brian work on his Crystal Mining set–basically, three interesting rocks in a brick of plaster of paris, where the objective is to slowly saw them out with a plastic knife.

While putting some things away while the kids were otherwise occupied, I suddenly remembered the silver bowl that we’d bought in India, and the two tiny silver spoons we’d bought at the same time,...
Read MoreThe Girls Play Hooky at Lunchtime
I was home with Kendall today, since Goddard had a teacher workday. We played at home, doing puzzles, watching My Little Pony.. I tried to work some of the day, but we did sneak out at lunchtime to go to the mall. I surprised Kendall with a trip to Build A Bear, to make a Princess Luna to go along with her Princess Celestia (they’re sisters, after all!) Afterward, we got a smoothie, which clearly Kendall enjoyed quite a bit!...
