Birthday Party, Alumni Game, More!
Today was a busy one! The kids started off their morning with some marker art time. Then, Kendall was off to a birthday party at My Gym for her classmate Nicklai. Brandon and Kendall had a great time there, and Kendall took to all the activities really well! Brandon said she outclassed all those other kids. 😉 This afternoon, we had some Lego time, and the kids made an awesome structure. Then, we all went to the ‘Canes Alumni Game. That’s a fun red-vs-white game, where some...
Read MoreBackyard Fun!
We had a pretty fun Saturday today! This morning, Kendall and I played with her new Duplo boat while Brian was at swimming lessons. She was so cute, getting really excited about the boats and especially the red bunny and yellow bear that came with them! Nana came by and played with the kids for awhile, and they did some artwork together. When they played downstairs, Kendall discovered the take-apart SUV and power drill, and now she’s really into that! She also took apart the...

We had a fun, busy day today! The kids were active early, playing piano (okay, that’s a charitable way to view it–mostly vying for position on the bench, trying to not get caught shoving each other!) We heard one of them start singing the classic “Lollipop” song by the Chordettes (1958)–soon enough, both of them were singing it at top volume. We asked if they’d heard the original, and, long story short, we ended up watching a whole pile of black-and-white...
Read MoreIt’s Picture Day, Again!
It’s another fun-filled picture taking day, y’all! Why? Because I had a $50 coupon that expires tomorrow, and these children are just too darn cute. It’s stressful and high-pressure and I’m about to hyperventilate just thinking about it, but the results are worth it! We hope you enjoy all the kid portraits as much as we do. I’m a sucker and gave in finally on the big Monsters University plushes that Brian’s been wanting for awhile now (they were BOGO!...
Read MoreLaurel Hills Park!
We may be back from the beach, but we’re still on spring break! Today we decided to enjoy the nice weather and take the kids to Laurel Hills park to play. We had picked up a pair of Hello Kitty walkie-talkies at the beach, which Kendall spotted in the Best Buy. We let the kids play with them at the park, even though they’re a bit noisy, and don’t work all that well! Walkie-talkie hide-and-seek was a fun game, and some of the other kids wanted to get in on the action....
Read MoreSpring Break Beach Trip! Day 3
Today was our last day at the beach for this spring break! We had a nice relaxing breakfast together, and let the kids play while we worked on packing up. We spent a little more time outside, and Brian found some “stoplight leaves”–red, yellow, and green. Plus, he found the biggest pine cone he’d ever seen! It’s still too cool out for the kayaks, but we had to promise Brian that he’d get to use them later this summer, once it warms up. Once we got them...
