Dance Party
Today we hung up Brian’s new models in his room, Anakin’s and Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighers. We also flipped over the Lego table and had some marker fun on the whiteboard side. Brian came up with the idea of drawing different sorts of “worlds” on it, and we had a great time filling up the space with different single-biome planets (sort of like in Star Wars!) Tonight, like many nights, the kids put on their coordinating pajamas and asked for a dance party! We...
Read MorePlay-Doh, Time Capsule
Today, the kids had a great time playing with their Play-Doh. Kendall was really proud of her new “Jedi in Training” t-shirt which features Ahsoka Tano and some cute clone troopers. I thought she could wear this at Brian’s birthday party, but she insisted on going ahead and wearing it now! (Update: she actually couldn’t wear it for his party, since she’d stained it horribly by the time his party came around just one week after this!) Brian decided he wanted to...
Read MoreBrian’s Place, Cookout at Nana’s
Today Brian got inspired after watching an episode of Blue’s Clues, where Blue makes a special place, with all her favorite things. Brian decided to make his own special place, and this is what he came up with! A place with some favorite toys, some paper and markers to draw with, his viking helmet and sword and shield for defense, etc. Later today we went out to Rosemary’s place and had a cookout! We had gotten the “Labor Day Cookout” style of produce box this week,...
Read MoreBuild-A-Bear!
Today was one of those rare days where Kendall had a teacher workday, and Brian didn’t! Brandon and I both stayed home today and took turns hanging with her, and working. She and Brandon took a trip to the Bass Pro Shops this morning (yup, after more Plano boxes!) and she came home with a cute Tinkerbell fishing rod! It’s similar to Brian’s Star Wars one, in that it came with some foam “fish” to practice on, and it makes fun sound effects when she casts it. I...
Read MoreDragon Mac!
Today we surprised the kids with Dragon 2 macaroni and cheese! They thought the viking shapes were really cool. Also included, pics of Brian at his haircut place, and Kendall in her new Wildstyle (a character from the Lego Movie) nightgown. It’s sized for a bigger girl, but once she saw it, there was no holding off on...
Read MoreGoddard Playground Fun
Today the giant foam blocks were out on the playground at Goddard school, and Brian was excited to sneak in a little playtime as we picked up Kendall! He always wants to come in when we pick her up, and usually we don’t have time, but today he got his...
