Mother’s Day School Parties
Today there were Mother’s Day parties at both kids’ schools, so I stepped out from work twice to attend them. Brian’s class presented a really cute program, complete with poems and songs, and Brian delivered his lines beautifully. Brian gave me a set of lovely gifts that he’d made himself, and I really loved the picture + bio he made for me! My favorite bit was his answer to “The hardest part about being a mom would be”: “Wrcking at Red Hat all...
Read MoreRebel Helmets for Star Wars Day
May the Fourth be with you! It’s Star Wars day, so Brandon and I picked up the special prize at the Lego store for the kids, and got them these fun paper rebel helmets, which they got to decorate with stickers. Pretty cool! It was also Kendall’s art show, so we made sure to check out all of her artwork on display at her school. Nice work, Kendall!

Much to our chagrin, Brian set up his Star Wars Angry Birds on the kitchen floor. We made him pick it up fairly quickly, but he did enjoy it while he could!

Brian made a truly amazing picture, inspired by one of his favorite books, “The Day The Crayons Quit”. It took three large sheets of paper, taped together, for him to complete his vision....
Read MoreMinion Peeps
Brian finally had his Minion peeps tonight! 🙂 They were pretty cute. I like the Despicable Me movies pretty well, although I will always kind of hate them for unleashing Be-Do on the world. I start feeling a little.. hostile.. whenever the kids start making that horrible sound....
