March Haircut!
After asking for a haircut for three weeks, we finally got around to it before picture day tomorrow!
Read MoreLa Rancherita
We often go out for Mexican food on Friday nights, and tonight was one of those nights! After Brian’s skating lesson, we all met up and headed over to La Rancherita for dinner. Brian’s order came with curly fries, and I think he had a record-breaker in there! He was so excited by that, as you can see. 😉 Kendall wasn’t too sure about it! We were all pretty excited by the new fresh-made guacamole, and I think the kids would have been happy with just a tub of that...
Read MoreBrian’s First School Musical: Seussical!
Tonight was Brian’s first musical performance at school! The kindergarten and first grade students presented Seussical the Musical (program, PDF) this evening! Brian had been practicing the songs for months, with us hearing him singing in the bathroom, the bathtub, while he was getting dressed..

I didn’t feel that great about my performance, there were some A/V glitches that sort of messed up the flow, and some slide issues that had to be fixed at the last...
Read MoreChili’s Monday
We randomly decided to go to Chili’s for dinner tonight. Brian asked for it, and we couldn’t think of a good reason not to! I think he loves going there so much because of that picture menu, and getting to circle his choices with a crayon. It’s not official protocol or anything, but I suggested it to him once just to keep him busy for a few seconds. He just loves that autonomy! He always tells the server his own choices that he circled. Brian remembered his...
Read MoreSpring Cleaning
Today we did a bit of spring cleaning and organizing. I repacked some winter gear, after having realized a space bag had sprung a leak and gotten stuck in a drawer. In the process, pulled out a bunch of things I’d knitted years ago, most of which the kids had never seen. They seemed to like my gaudy creations quite a bit! Kendall really liked the Hello Kitty hat and a soft pink scarf, and Brian liked a colorful fair isle hat and a really crazy poncho. It was just warm enough to blow...
