Memorial Day!
We spent our Memorial Day relaxing at home, taking it easy for the most part. We left the pool out overnight (whoops!) but today the kids had fun pretend-fishing and distributing the water all over the back yard today. Kendall scared me, taking some flying leaps off the sandbox cover–but she wasn’t scared one bit! The kids said they didn’t want to put on swimsuits and wouldn’t get too wet–but Miss K needed to change after a couple watering can mishaps! I love...
Read MoreSplash Day!
Predictably, this weekend was a hot one! We decided to let the kids have a splash day to celebrate the summer-like weather. While the pool was warming up, the kids played with some of their new books from the Goddard book fair–the how-to-draw books were a big hit with Brian! I couldn’t resist drawing some animals of my own, too. 🙂 Kendall is loving her Lego Duplo Cinderella castle and coach! Y’all know I’m not all that into the corporate-princess thing, but she...
Read MoreZoo Trip!
It’s Saturday and we’re starting off our Memorial Day weekend with a zoo trip! It wasn’t supposed to be too hot, so we thought it would be a great day to go. We joked about how the whole state is probably heading to the zoo today as we started our trip.. But it got a lot less funny when we arrived and we had to park a serious hike away. 😉 Kendall wore a new outfit today with a matching hat, and I thought she was just adorable! I started snapping pictures before we even...
Read MoreThe KinderGarden Groundbreaking
Today was a special day at Brian’s school! The official groundbreaking ceremony of the new KinderGarden, a new five-senses garden that will be planted outside the Kindergarten/First Grade wing at Root Elementary. The students performed a cute poem called “A Little Brown Seed” and also sang “What A Wonderful World.” Brian had been practicing it all week! We made sure he knew both the Louis Armstrong and the Joey Ramone versions of the song. 😉 After the...
Read MoreCFA Spirit Night
Tonight was Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night–a fund raiser for Brian’s school. We knew we couldn’t pass up the chance to help the school and get some of the kids’ favorite fast-food items, so we went to North Hills after school and work. As we guessed, we ran into some of Brian’s friends, and even saw Ms. Sarah Catherine there, too! Brian and Kendall had a great time running around the square after dinner! Brian was so happy to see his buddy Eli. Kendall did her very...
Read MoreSunday Playdate with Ty
Today Brian got to have a long-awaited playdate with Ty! I think the excitement got the better of him–both he and Kendall were up ridiculously early! They made up for making me get up ridiculously early by being very cute.. Kendall was happy to go ahead and get dressed nicely, and she was so funny wanting to wear her monkey backpack for an adventure. She and Brian made their anywhere chairs into a bus and insisted on some crazy driving! Finally, Ty was here, and Brian raced to the...
