2014 Spring Sibling Portraits – Round Two!
The kids’ second round of spring sibling portraits are here! Yes, we were crazy enough to go back for more. 😉 I had a coupon, and gosh, they’re just that darn cute. Through various circumstances, we didn’t have an ideal timeslot, and the kids had to wait for a really long time. Kendall’s carefully executed pigtails became a bit disheveled as she ran around the studio while we waited, and we forgot to put her bows in, but, it all turned out fine. 🙂 One of my...
Read MoreEgg Salad Time
Time to say goodbye to the colored eggs! Easter Monday means it’s egg salad time at our house. 😉 I only make it once a year, and my recipe features quite a bit of crumbled bacon, so it’s a rare treat around here. The kids helped me shell the eggs and mix things up this year, so even though they were a little sad at first to let them go, they had fun creating the egg salad. (No pictures of the result, unfortunately, once my hands got dirty, the phone stayed in my...
Read MoreEaster Sunday
Happy Easter! We sure had an awesome one. We started off the day with the kids getting their Easter baskets and presents, and they were so surprised! We had collected a number of really cool presents for them, including a Lego Star Wars Battle of Hoth game that wasn’t even release in the US. Brian liked his Lego City game so much, and since Empire is one of his favorite Star Wars movies, I knew he just had to have it. Kendall got the Duplo Cinderella Castle that she liked so much...
Read MoreEgg Coloring
Tomorrow is Easter, so that means today is egg coloring day! Kendall was able to participate this year, and she really enjoyed it! We did some traditional coloring, and some iridescent shimmery sort of eggs as well–those were particularly messy (and sort of stinky!) so I don’t think we’ll do those again. Brian came up with some interesting coloring techniques this year, and Kendall seemed to just enjoy everything about the process. The kids played with Legos a lot, and...
Read MoreDino Egg Hunt!
Today we were off to Durham for more Easter-themed fun! The Museum of Life+Science has a Dino Egg Hunt annually, and we’d hoped to attend last year, but it didn’t work out. We did manage it this year, and the kids had a fantastic time! We visited some of their favorite things, like the boats, and the Soundspace 2 room, but the main attraction was the egg hunt! It was located in the woods adjacent to the dinosaur trail, in an area that isn’t usually open to the public. It...
Read MoreBoosterthon!!!
The long-awaited Boosterthon is here!! I volunteered and helped at the water station (along with about eight other moms)! There were so many parents in attendance, that there were an overabundance of us water folks, lap counters, and high-fivers! Brandon and Kendall were in attendance as well. We waited outside for the Kindergarten and first grade students to come out, and eventually they did, in a big Olympic-style parade! Each classroom had their own team name and banner made up for the...
