March Haircut!
It’s another haircut day. But, it’s completely different! Brian is out of school for another day to make sure he is well and non-contagious. Alison stayed at home with him yesterday and it is my turn today! However, I had my six month dental checkup scheduled today. Called the dentist to see if it was okay to bring him, and it was, so we did! I had a perfect checkup and brian was very good in the corner playing with the iPad. The hygienist heard him singing Gangnam Style under his...

I stayed home with Brian today since he’s still feeling under the weather, dealing with strep. He felt up to doing some of his favorite things, like drawing. He made a cool Star Wars picture and told me a story describing all of the things going on in it. There’s a Millenium Falcon House in the asteroid field, there’s Luke with both his old and new lightsabers, who is wearing a rainbow hat with three hearts on it. Luke has just gotten out of his Spaceship and is on a...

Today we took a trip out to Lake Lynn park, a perennial favorite! It’s been awhile since we’ve visited our animal friends, and we had a ton of bread heels to give them. There were a lot of visiting seagulls, who we don’t always see here.. But today they were out in full force. The ducks and geese seemed to be pretty full already and were settling down, but the seagulls were ravenous, of course. Once they noticed we had so much bread, they completely mobbed us! It was...

Just another Saturday at the Perkins’ house. 🙂 This morning, the whole crew joined Brian for his Lowes Build and Grow event, where he made a cool green monster truck! I’m so impressed with how independent he is with most of the building instructions. Kendall found watching the building mildly interesting, but she was much more keen on trying to escape on her own, and visit the other families who were there working together! After our building session, we got smoothies for the...

Sometimes we just give Brian the camera and let him go wild. It’s so interesting to see things from his perspective! Here’s a collection of photos he took in the space of about 10 minutes one morning before...
Read MoreValentine Crafts
We had to skip town so soon after Valentine’s day to go to the Lego Fest, I didn’t get to post about all of our Valentine’s Day crafts. 🙂 Brian made this lovely heart string for us–there’s one for each member of the family, and one for Everybody! Nana helped him string them up while Brandon and I were out seeing Spamalot, and they made a lovely and festive decoration! I love how each heart is different, and how he personalized them with our names on the back....
