Chili’s Monday
We randomly decided to go to Chili’s for dinner tonight. Brian asked for it, and we couldn’t think of a good reason not to! I think he loves going there so much because of that picture menu, and getting to circle his choices with a crayon. It’s not official protocol or anything, but I suggested it to him once just to keep him busy for a few seconds. He just loves that autonomy! He always tells the server his own choices that he circled. Brian remembered his...
Read MoreSpring Cleaning
Today we did a bit of spring cleaning and organizing. I repacked some winter gear, after having realized a space bag had sprung a leak and gotten stuck in a drawer. In the process, pulled out a bunch of things I’d knitted years ago, most of which the kids had never seen. They seemed to like my gaudy creations quite a bit! Kendall really liked the Hello Kitty hat and a soft pink scarf, and Brian liked a colorful fair isle hat and a really crazy poncho. It was just warm enough to blow...
Read MoreBrian’s Building, Kendall’s Fashion
This morning, I had a haircut appointment, and Brandon had the kids. He couldn’t get an appointment at our usual Lowes for Build and Grow this weekend, and found himself heading to Knightdale.

Sytse helped Brian build his birdhouse, and Rosemary helped take care of Kendall. This afternoon, Brian had skating lessons, and I had Kendall. She...

Here are some Friday night photos for you! After school, Kendall and Brian played downstairs, doing their own thing for a bit–Kendall playing with the smiley-face balls, and Brian making another cool Lego creation.. Predictably this devolved into the two of them wrestling, with Kendall as the winner! Brian likes her to win (sensory seeking, we presume), and has taken to egging her on: “Kendall, squish me!” We saw that Sid the Science Kid is coming to town for a live show,...

Read MoreChinese Dinner
Tonight we went out to dinner at Neo Asia with Grandpa Steve and Grandma Sue! They helped us out a lot by picking up the kids for us, and we all met up at the restaurant. We had a great visit and delicious dinner together, and the kids did well enough on their dinner to get an ice cream for dessert! I think that might have been their favorite part....
