Cutie Kendall
Just some cute photos of Kendall this morning, and this evening. Also, our messy porch after a hailstorm! Brian seems both fascinated with and scared of hail. We had only pea-sized hail today, but others were not so lucky. Earlier this month, Rosemary and Sytse had a lot of damage to their house and cars from some golf-ball and larger sized hail....

Kendall sure was a cutie this morning, playing with her blocks. Brian drew this cute little robot on the easel paper–so many colors for a little droid! Brandon went to check and see if Steve’s marker had been installed yet. It hadn’t, but, they have it onsite and it should be ready soon. He pretty much insisted that Brandon come take a look at it, since it was out sitting on some sawhorses. 🙂 I spied a pretty amazing piece of artwork on the couch today–but it...
Read MoreRed Hat Dinner
Red Hat’s own Hat Rack Cafe now has a dinner-to-go offering, so we’re trying that out for quick Tuesday night dinners. (Why Tuesday? It’s the night before our Produce Box deliveries, so theoretically, we should be lowest on produce then). Tonight we were happily surprised that the dinner was a Japanese Udon soup with chicken and vegetables. Yummy! I love the thick noodles, and the kids had fun playing with them (and they ate them, too). Also, I made another slice of...
Read MoreGoddard Family Quilt
The Goddard School asks families to decorate a piece of paper each year for a “family quilt” they put on the wall on the pre-K hall. It’s basically just a piece of blank construction paper with no instructions other than it needs to have your name, so.. We’re usually at a loss for what to do, lose the paper for a week or so, and then finally locate it and throw something together at the last minute. 😉 Pretty much the same story this year, I slapped a bunch of foam...
Read MoreSaturday Hockey
Another busy Saturday started out with the Lowe’s Build and Grow See-It-Grow Clinic. Brian built a planter with a plexi-glass side to watch roots growing in the soil! Later, in the afternoon, Brian had a house league clinic at the IcePlex where he did as good as ever. Kendall went to town, er, restaurant with her play food. She also took to working with a lot of Play-Doh food and princesses. For a little down-time, Kendall wanted to read one of Brian’s favorite books,...

Guess who was on the big board at work? Brandon, the safety warden of the week. 🙂 We finally used our Easter eggs to make our traditional egg salad today (a couple days later than I like to do it, but it was still good!) Kendall wanted me to twirl her hair up in a bun this evening. It’s long enough to make a pretty substantial...
