The Big Zoo
We had a lazy day, playing at home today! We all slept late, and forgot to do some things we had planned to do.. Instead, we stayed in our pajamas far too long, and just played on the floor with the kids. One of the things we did was create a gigantic Lego Duplo zoo! We have at least four sets of zoo-themed Duplos, and putting them all together, wow–we had enclosures for every kind of animal, and Brian enjoyed giving each kind of animal the right kind of food. It was a challenge,...
Read MoreRecord Store Day!
I seem to have been bitten by the record collector bug once again, and I’ve been upgrading my turntable and working on creating a database of all our records and CDs. I decided to share some of my hobby with Brian today, and took him with me to go celebrate Record Store Day at a couple of our local independent record shops! There aren’t too many left these days, but two of my old favorites are still kicking–Schoolkids Records and Nice Price Books. We went to Nice Price...
Read MoreMystery Readers!
Today was a special day for us at Goddard School–Brandon and I got to be Mystery Readers for Brian’s class! Different parents took turns reading some of their child’s favorites for the class this week. Brian was pretty surprised when it was our turn! We brought in two of his favorites, Punk Farm and Punk Farm on Tour. Brandon read the original and I read the sequel. I made a video of Brandon reading, since he does such a great job with it! 🙂 After the books, we played...

Monday morning, time for school and work! But we don’t feel like going to school and work…! Everyone was sleepy this morning, but there were still smiles to go around. Brian wanted to work on his tower, and Kendall wanted to play with her Easter plushes some more, but alas..! Time to make the donuts....
Read More‘Canes Alumni Game
Today was the Carolina Hurricanes’ Alumni Game, which is a really fun family event that we look forward to! Veteran players return to the ice, and even some fans get to play with them (I think they probably have to make a pretty nice donation to charity to get the chance..! 🙂 Kendall was adorable in her pink jersey, and Brian was rocking both the black jersey and ball cap. (He was pretty pleased with those bunny snacks in the tie dye bag, he wants you to know about them!) Our friend...
Read MoreSaturday Fashion and Building
This morning, the boys were up and out early to go to another Lowe’s Build and Grow session. Kendall was sounding so cute over the monitor, I decided to carry my camera with me when I went to get her. She was in such a good mood! (This isn’t always the case, but she’s always cute. 😉 She had pulled a sweater out of her drawer, so I guessed she wanted to wear it and the fancy purple dress it goes with. Why not, right? She was feeling fancy, so I tried making pigtails...
