Crazy Hair Day
Today was crazy hair day at Root, as part of Spirit Week leading up to the Boosterthon. We weren’t quite sure what we could do with Brian’s hair, but we knew how much he likes a bathtub mohawk, so I did what I could with some hairspray! (I surprised myself by actually owning some.) Only after I finished did he tell me there was only one rule for crazy hair day–no mohawks. Well! I thought that was a silly rule, so I told him if the man tries to hassle him, just say...
Read MoreLunch with Eli
Brian has been asking us to come have lunch with him at school more often. A lot of the moms don’t work and are there all the time, it seems! We promised to come as much as we can, and today Brandon made good on that promise. 🙂 When a parent visits for lunch, their child gets to pick one friend and then go sit at the special visitor table in the cafeteria. Brian picked his buddy Eli, and really appreciated this special surprise from Daddy. We saw that our family’s paper quilt...
Read MoreSweet Sunday
Today we (thankfully!) stayed at home, which was just what we needed after all of yesterday’s adventures! The kids made a pretend fishtank with some of the random plastic fish that were in their Easter eggs yesterday. We all played Legos a lot, and I was pretty pleased with the miniature pink castle I made. 😉 We enjoyed the rest of our cupcakes from yesterday after dinner, and Brian was able to talk with Grandpa Roger on the phone....
Read MoreDouble Egg Hunt Saturday
Ohh, today was another super busy Saturday! We started off bright and early at Brian’s last swimming lesson! He’s completed the full series at Rex now. It was a beautiful morning, and I really enjoyed the cherry blossoms outside the wellness center. They were so beautiful in the sunlight. Brandon and Kendall caught up with us after the lesson, and together we all headed over to Laurel Hills for the Easter egg hunt there. It was a nice one, with lots of games and such for the...
Read MoreIt’s Boosterthon Time!
It’s spring fundraising season, y’all! VERY EXCITING. Brian is so worked up about the Boosterthon, we thought it required an epic introduction: Now that you’re curious, let’s have the boy give you his elevator pitch. It’s very important! Just like library books and computers: At this point, you are probably shouting at your computer, “TAKE MY MONEY!!!” I know you’re excited, but try and contain yourself–please don’t try to insert...
Read MoreMonday Night Angry Birds
Tonight Brian “just had to” play some live-action Angry Birds in his room after bath. Of course he should have been reading and getting to sleep, but–our little negotiator can really get his way sometimes! Then, predictably, Kendall gets in on the action, too. You can really see the resignation on Brandon’s face. 😉 If you can’t beat ’em, join...
