Dinner with Grandma & Grandpa
Kendall enjoyed working on her new puzzles today! She is such a fan of doing puzzles. Tonight, we had dinner at Steve and Sue’s house, where we had takeout from Tokyo House, one of my dad’s favorite sushi places. The kids were in rare form, running around, whinnying like horses, and only got wilder once they had ice cream for...
Read MoreMad Science Birthday Party
Another busy Saturday! Today started out bright and early with Kendall’s swimming lesson. Then, Brian had a haircut (I think they went extra short this time..! But he seems okay with it.) This afternoon, we headed over to Cary for Nico’s Mad Science birthday party. We were happy to see the Orazis, and the kids had a blast running around the community center. Soon, it was time to settle down for some science fun, and we all enjoyed the presentation and cool science tricks....

We surprised the kids by presenting them with character-tie-in versions of Monopoly! Actually, we had originally planned on just getting the My Little Pony version for Kendall, but Brian found out, and wished that there was a Clone Wars version of Monopoly. I went and looked, of course–and it turns out they did make one, a few years ago! I found one in good condition for less than collector’s-item pricing, so I went ahead. When we gave Kendall her game, Brian got his, too!...
Read MoreTub Tunes, Frozen Edition
Kendall is missing her former teacher, Ms. Danielle, quite a bit. We talked about it, and Kendall made her a very pretty picture, and today brought it in to give to her! Brian made a cool Tux penguin for Brandon to take into work. Someone at work was selling random Legos, so I bought a bagful of interesting pieces. The kids liked the pirate flag a lot! Also included, video of Kendall doing some epic Tub Tunes with a Frozen theme! Brian just had to get in on the action (with some annoying...
Read MoreDouble Party Day
Today the kids both had friends’ birthday parties to attend, so, we ended up on split duty! The boys headed off for Drew’s party and lots of bouncing and air hockey, while Kendall and I went to AJ’s party at the Rainbow Party Room! She was a little shy at first, but soon warmed up and owned all those play structures! We had a laugh about the cute banana peel “slippery when wet” sign! Afterward we went home and played ponies for awhile, while we watched ponies....
