It’s Boosterthon Time!
It’s spring fundraising season, y’all! VERY EXCITING. Brian is so worked up about the Boosterthon, we thought it required an epic introduction: Now that you’re curious, let’s have the boy give you his elevator pitch. It’s very important! Just like library books and computers: At this point, you are probably shouting at your computer, “TAKE MY MONEY!!!” I know you’re excited, but try and contain yourself–please don’t try to insert...
Read MoreMonday Night Angry Birds
Tonight Brian “just had to” play some live-action Angry Birds in his room after bath. Of course he should have been reading and getting to sleep, but–our little negotiator can really get his way sometimes! Then, predictably, Kendall gets in on the action, too. You can really see the resignation on Brandon’s face. 😉 If you can’t beat ’em, join...
Read MoreBirthday Party, Alumni Game, More!
Today was a busy one! The kids started off their morning with some marker art time. Then, Kendall was off to a birthday party at My Gym for her classmate Nicklai. Brandon and Kendall had a great time there, and Kendall took to all the activities really well! Brandon said she outclassed all those other kids. 😉 This afternoon, we had some Lego time, and the kids made an awesome structure. Then, we all went to the ‘Canes Alumni Game. That’s a fun red-vs-white game, where some...
Read MoreBackyard Fun!
We had a pretty fun Saturday today! This morning, Kendall and I played with her new Duplo boat while Brian was at swimming lessons. She was so cute, getting really excited about the boats and especially the red bunny and yellow bear that came with them! Nana came by and played with the kids for awhile, and they did some artwork together. When they played downstairs, Kendall discovered the take-apart SUV and power drill, and now she’s really into that! She also took apart the...
Read MoreSpringtime at Fred Fletcher Park
We had a fun, busy day today! The kids were active early, playing piano (okay, that’s a charitable way to view it–mostly vying for position on the bench, trying to not get caught shoving each other!) We heard one of them start singing the classic “Lollipop” song by the Chordettes (1958)–soon enough, both of them were singing it at top volume. We asked if they’d heard the original, and, long story short, we ended up watching a whole pile of black-and-white...
Read MoreIt’s Picture Day, Again!
It’s another fun-filled picture taking day, y’all! Why? Because I had a $50 coupon that expires tomorrow, and these children are just too darn cute. It’s stressful and high-pressure and I’m about to hyperventilate just thinking about it, but the results are worth it! We hope you enjoy all the kid portraits as much as we do. I’m a sucker and gave in finally on the big Monsters University plushes that Brian’s been wanting for awhile now (they were BOGO!...
