Flying Biscuit
Tonight we felt like going out, even though it was a school night, and ended up at the Flying Biscuit cafe. I’ve been there a good number of times with work folks, but the rest of the fam hadn’t been before. Safe to say, it was a hit! The warm biscuits served with a cranberry-apple butter were awesome as always, and Brandon and the kids enjoyed them as much as I do. Brian was quite excited about his pancake! Kendall really got into using her crayons while we waited. Also...
Read MoreKendall’s Chair Dancing
She’s a maniac, maaaaniac on the flo-oor! And on her chair, and in the hallway, pretty much everywhere. Kendall is a dancing, bouncing ball of energy! She and Brian were hamming it up this morning, both wearing her headbands (Kendall was both indignant and amused by Brian wearing one of her things!) Kendall still loves her lion, but orange “Kitty Cat” is also a popular friend these days. We are potty training now, and Kendall is pretty excited about her pull-ups!...
Read MoreLego Kids Fest 2014!!
Lego Kids Fest is back in Raleigh! We didn’t think it would be back so soon–usually they don’t repeat cities, but I suppose the Fest was a big success here! I know we did our part when it was here last time, and today was no different. 😉 Like before, the Fest is about four hours of somewhat-controlled chaos, and never seems quite long enough. There were some new attractions this year, and Kendall got a lot more out of it this time! She enjoyed the Duplo piles quite a...
Read MoreKendall’s Creations
We finally received our long-awaited pick-a-brick order from Lego.com–I’d had a plan for a Valentine surprise, but underestimated the shipping time for a custom order! But, even though it was late, Kendall and I had fun making a Lego rose and cute message to surprise the boys with after swimming lessons! I had also purchased some lightsaber elements, and Kendall thought those were just awesome! She made a quadruple-decker lightsaber and was quite proud of herself! We also...
Read MoreFriday Night Mexican
It’s very typical for us to go out for Mexican food on Friday nights. Tonight was a little different, instead of our usual haunts, we took the kids to the downtown El Rodeo near Red Hat Tower. It had been a long day for everyone, and the children were kind of wild–poor Brandon got the worst of the abuse! 🙂 But, they did well enough to get rewarded with some fried ice cream. Brandon definitely earned...
Read MoreSunday Soccer
We’re all so grateful for some decent weather, we decided to play outside this afternoon! Brandon and Brian played soccer while Kendall and I played in the sandbox. We added some smooth river rocks to the sandbox, and Kendall had a good time cooking with those.. She was pretending all the pinkish rocks were strawberries. I asked her if the white ones were coconut, and she very seriously told me “nooooo!” Later, Kendall wanted to get into the soccer game, and she had fun,...
