Spring Break Beach Trip! Day 2
Today we decided to have an outing to the aquarium with the kids! Brian passed on going last time, but he felt like attending this time. I think he was glad he decided to come! It was a lovely day, and there was so much to see and do at the aquarium. The kids liked the fountain out front, and the big tanks, of course. The otters were being pretty active, which is always a treat. We had a great time, got some Dairy Queen treats when we started to feel a bit peckish. That gave us the...

Here are some fun “green screen” photos from our trip to the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores! Brian loves the shark-themed ones. 🙂 I’m glad we didn’t take a pass on the photo booth this time! Plus, it was a nice surprise that they offered an “email all the poses”...

It’s our first full day at the beach, and we mostly took it easy and had a relaxing day. That’s exactly what you need sometimes, right? The kids played inside this morning, with the penguin bowling set, and with the Lego Beach House set. Kendall debuted some of her new summertime pajamas and was quite proud of herself. The kids both have new Lego-themed crocs–those were quite a hit! It’s still a little chilly this early in spring, but it was a lovely day to be...
Read MoreLego Club – Batman!
Today was the Batman edition of Lego Club! Brian isn’t so much into the superheroes (again, he thinks he can only like one thing a a time–and that’s Star Wars!) But he is down for Lego Club, no matter what the theme is! The mission was to build something that Batman could use to capture the bad guys, and I was pretty impressed with Brian’s creativity. His “jail” came equipped with a brain scanner that Batman could use to figure out what was making the...
Read MoreRock On!
At Brian’s after-school program at Laurel Hills, the kids get to earn play money that they can turn in for prizes or treats. Today, Brian came out sporting a new necklace shaped like a guitar pick, that said “Rock On!” He was pretty proud of it. 😉 At dinnertime, he realized that Kendall’s shirt was decorated with guitar picks, and he thought she should wear it. Aww! Kendall was quite pleased with this turn of events, I think she’d been a little jealous of it!...

Here’s Brian, dressed up in his short-notice costume! I was able to make him two pies, and altered his chef hat to fit him (it was sized for a three-year-old Brian!) Give him an apron and rolling pin, and the illusion is complete! 😉 I snapped these in the Goddard School parking lot while Brandon took Kendall inside. The light was really nice this morning, but there’s quite a bit of road noise in the video..! Brian was a bit irritated that I stopped the video too soon–he...
