Short Week
It’s a short week, since Monday was the last day of school, and we’re heading to Colorado soon! Brian’s summer camp for this week was cancelled last minute due to lack of enrollment, so we’re improvising. Brian spent the day with Grandma Sue and went out to a fancy lunch. He liked the fish tank! Nana Rosemary gave the kids some Hello Kitty candy in cute red tins that look like Chinese takeout boxes. Kendall sorted out the colors with her candy. Brian borrowed a...

Today was Brian’s last day of first grade! The class celebrated with a pajama party, and the kids got to go to school in their PJs and bring a stuffed animal friend. Brian took Jason the Alligator, the softest reptile you’ll ever meet, a gift from Grandpa Steve before Brian was even born. 🙂 After school, we asked Brian where he’d like to go for dinner to celebrate, and he picked Chick-Fil-A. We had a fun dinner, and Kendall got to play in the playspace for a bit (Brian...

It came with a beaded bracelet to commemorate the momentous occasion. 😉 Kendall was quite...

The kids got a new electric toothbrush! It’s a Sonicare for Kids. Hopefully they will like it, I think our Sonicare helps us keep our teeth healthy. We upgraded our brush as well. I messed up when I bought our second one a few years ago, and got a cheap model that didn’t have the four-quadrant timer to make sure you brush evenly. I made sure this time that our new one has it, as does the kids’ brush. We spent the day at home playing games like Cootie, and with the Lego...
