Star Wars Paper Airplanes
Today we made a pair of Jedi starfighters from Brian’s Star Wars Folded Flyers book! They look cool and fly great to boot! If you throw them hard enough, they’ll even loop the loop. Pretty neat! This afternoon we all played with Legos around the Lego table. Kendall was being very silly and so cute in the afternoon...

We missed Brian’s second STEM night due to some severe weather.. He was pretty broken up about it, but we didn’t want to take the risk when there were such strong storms and tornado warnings. He’d worked very hard on a project, so this morning we both went into his classroom to see it! Brian and his partner built this dragonfly and labeled its parts. If we’d gone to the event, Brian was going to teach us all about it–so, we asked him to give us his lesson this...

Happy Mother’s Day! I had a nice one with my favorite people. They surprised me with a nice brunch at Fleming’s, and we had a great time, even if our kids’ active personalities aren’t exactly a fit for that sort of place. 😉 We decided that next time, we’ll make our reservation for after noon so we can order mimosas. That should help, right? 😉 Afterward, we went over to Laurel Hills and took a little nature walk by the pond and through the woods. Brian...

Today, Brandon and the kids let me sleep in! They headed out early to go to Lowe’s Build and Grow, where Brian and Kendall worked together to build a cute flower delivery van! They also bought me a lovely lily plant. It looks like they had a great time building together! When they came home, I was presented with beautiful bouquet of flowers, a fancy coffee from Caribou, and a huge spread of Bruegger’s bagels and sandwiches! Wow, all this, and it’s not even mother’s...

Both of the kids’ schools had events to celebrate Mother’s Day today! I’m not always able to make it to daytime events, but this year, I was able to! Brian’s class invited us moms to come by in the morning to receive our special gifts–a clay pendant, and a beautiful artwork of flowers in a vase! Brian’s teacher said these were suitable for framing, and I think I will absolutely have to do that. Brian’s picture shows such amazing detail, I can tell...
Read MoreKrispy Kreme
Clearly having lost our minds, today we took the kids to Krispy Kreme! Probably the last thing they need is sugar, but Brian had been begging for doughnuts for days on end and I guess it wore us down! Clearly, they were very excited to be there! They loved getting those paper...
