Building, Goddard Party
This Saturday started out with a Lowe’s Build and Grow Black Widow’s Sky Cycle Clinic. Black Widow is one of the characters in Marvel’s Avengers and Avengers Assemble. Building a motorcycle out of wood is quite surreal. Once we were done with that challenging build, we were off to the Goddard School’s 5th birthday celebration. Hard to believe that Brian was an original all those years back! Kendall and Brian had a lot of fun playing and snacking! Favorite was the...
Read MoreSplash Day, Dos Taquitos
Another splash day for Kendall! She couldn’t wait. Tonight we went to Dos Taquitos, always a hit with the kids. They love the train that chugs along the overhead track. Kendall and I were surprised to find that someone had declared that Fluttershy was “best pony” on the bathroom wall....
Read MoreBrian’s Play-Dough
This morning, Brian found out that his speech therapist Kim had her baby four days earlier! He was super happy for her, but is still looking forward to getting her back 🙂 At Camp Marbles, Brian made Play-Doh, and made his own pyramid. He decided to give it to Kendall! That was quite sweet of him. Kendall was playing with her Chinese Finger trap. She is still quite amazed with it! Not a bad Thursday at...
Read MoreBackyard Splash
Kendall was up early this morning, and decide to bring all her ponies into our bathroom (?) for a pony party. Okay Kendall, we get it, we’re awake…! Sheesh. We haven’t had a weekend this summer that has been good for backyard splash fun yet, so we decided that today had to be the day, even though the ground was a bit soggy and clouds were in the forecast. The kids made the most of the breaks in the clouds, and had a wild time running around and splashing each other....
Read MoreJuly 4th!
Happy 4th of July! The kids had a second round of fun with the kiddie pool in the backyard today. Again it wasn’t quite as sunny or warm as we probably would have liked, but the kids still had a good time. This evening we packed up some snacks and a pile of glow sticks and headed to the parking deck at Red Hat Tower to see the downtown fireworks. We were comfortable “tailgating” in the back of the van as we waited for sunset, and our folding lawn chairs were great seats...
Read MoreScience Fun in Chapel Hill
Today we were invited to go to Chapel Hill so that Kendall could participate in a study being done by the UNC Psychology department. This was a follow-up to last year’s visit, which Kendall enjoyed–and who wouldn’t enjoy getting piles of stickers for playing games with the researchers? 🙂 So we made the trek out this morning, and Kendall played her games while I filled out huge surveys, and she earned an entire baggie full of stickers, and even a special purple fairy rubber...
