Pumpkin Patch!
Today was just packed! It started off bright and early with Brian and I attending a Lego Kids’ Club meeting–the theme was Lego Star Wars, and the project was a build an escape vehicle for Jabba the Hutt! The kids all got a Jabba t-shirt and minifigure (being Jabba, he’s not so mini!) This was pretty exciting for everyone, and Brian started singing a Jabba the Hutt song–the other kids took up the chant, and it was so funny! Next up, a trip out to Hill Ridge Farms for...

It’s another Trunk-or-Treat event at Goddard school! I’m really glad it’s not on Halloween itself this year–makes for less stress for everyone. 🙂 Brian was very excited to test out his Jango Fett costume, and Kendall was adorable in her sparkly witch outfit! She was power-walking all around the parking lot, pausing only to collect candy and to check out the Hello Kitty inflatable that someone had brought! Brian found Ty almost immediately and took off–they...

Brandon surprised us today with a gift for the family! He used his birthday money to splurge on this awesome Lego Haunted House. He brought it upstairs wrapped in a blanket, and Brian was very hammy, looking inside with his whole body–“I can’t see anything!” Here’s a video from Lego explaining how awesome it is, they can give you a better tour than we can: Also, here are some pics of Kendall, making me plates with her shape-sorting food, and reading her Thomas...

This morning, I volunteered in Brian’s classroom for a couple hours! This was a lot of fun, and I think Brian was really happy to have me there. His teacher suggested that instead of bringing sugary treats for classroom birthday celebrations, we could donate a book to the class instead. I thought that was a great idea, and knew exactly what book to give! It took awhile for me to be able to come in and read it to the class, but Brian was so excited to share “The Day The Crayons...
Read MorePicture Day (and tooth #3)
Today we had some family pictures made–all 4 of us this time! That was a pretty exhausting endeavor, and my nerves were beyond shot by the end of it. The girl wreaked havoc as usual, screaming bloody murder and leaving a wake of destruction as she rampaged through the studio. “KENDALL SMASH!” doesn’t even begin to cover how this girl behaves on picture day. So, we’ll see how they turn out in a couple of weeks. I honestly can’t remember what the previews...
