Creativity Abounds!
Gotta love the creativity of these kids. However, we need an additional house just to hold all of the creative output! Ignoring that for a moment, let’s see what the kids did today! First, we had an outing to the latest Lowe’s Build and Grow event! This Saturday, Brian built the “Science Lab 2.0”. It included a beaker and flask that he did NOT have to build. This build also included cards that could be used to perform experiments at home! Science is fun kids! Even...
Read MoreDefy Gravity!
Thanks to the generous support of friends and family to fund Brian’s “Rootin’ Tootin'” fundraiser for Root Elementary School, he was able to take a free trip to Defy Gravity for bouncing and a pizza party! He missed out the previous year due to his unfortunate arm injury around Halloween that also prevented him from skating for a few weeks. But this year he would not miss out and would have a BLAST! Although these trampoline places (much like inflatable places) put...
Read MoreSurgery Day
Not to share TMI, but today I had a minor surgery–a NovaSure endometrial ablation. You probably don’t want to Google that, since there may be some photos you’d rather not see! Suffice it to say, my “time of the month” had started to take up pretty much the whole month, and my Aunt Flo considered a month to be around 19 days. So, I was willing to try this procedure to see if I can get any relief. Here’s a selfie I sent to Brandon while waiting for the...

It’s our first real cold snap of the year, and Kendall is looking adorable in her new winter coat with leopard trim, and her rainbow-striped hat and mittens! I tried these sparkly nail wraps–a little much, aren’t they?...
Read MoreSunday Playtime
Yay for a lazy Sunday at home! The kids were very happy to have their pumpkin donuts that Nana brought with breakfast. We stayed in our PJs extra long, and played puzzles, made patterns with the rainbow blocks that Nana brought, and Kendall even made a colorful button bandolier. It started out as a necklace, but she wore it like Chewbacca, and even made a few Chewie sounds,...
Read MoreGoddard Party, Hockey, Playhouse, Ponies
Another busy weekend! A day after Halloween, The Goddard School hosted a Halloween Trick-or-Teat themed Open House. Couldn’t pass that up, so Brandon and the Kids headed over to enjoy building with Lincoln Logs, making arts & crafts, pumpkin bowling, corn pit, and temporary tattoos. Brian was in street clothes, but Kendall was back in her Buttercup Fairy outfit and was the star of the party. So many people asked to get photos of her! Back at home, Brian painted a pumpkin, and...
