Let’s Get a Pumpkin!
Today sure was a busy one! The kids were playing bright and early with their playsilk dress-ups, Duplos, and the toy animal hospital, which Kendall has been rather interested in lately. We went out and did a little shopping today to get outfits for everyone to wear for our family photo, which was a rather harrowing experience for us parents, but I think the kids actually had some fun. We realized it was probably our best chance to go and get a pumpkin, so we headed over to Farmer’s...
Read MoreViking Hats & Playsilks, Hockey & Dance Party
I wasn’t feeling so good today (sinus infection, must be Friday) so Brandon took Kendall along for Brian’s hockey practice. She was excited to be at the IcePlex, but probably pretty jealous to not be on the ice herself! I sent her a picture of her Twilight Sparkle pony who arrived today. 😉 The kids came home and were excited to get their new playsilks, which they combined with their viking helmets and toy swords to great effect. The kids were so spun up, they ended up having...
Read MoreRoot Spirit Week
It’s spirit week at Root, and while we aren’t equipped to do all of the activities, the “wear all red” day was a possibility! Brian came down the stairs like this, and while we had to applaud his creativity, we did have to modify the outfit a bit! 😉 Goddard is doing another family wall thing, this time with pumpkins. So, we made ours using some of the Halloween stickers we already had. Pretty cute! At the grocery store, Kendall saw a cute Peppa Pig...
Read MoreRooty, Dinner out, Kendall dances to “hang with me”
Today, Brian really wanted to take his “Rooty” to school–his prize from the fair really does look like his school mascot! We got dinner out tonight, at Dos Taquitos–always a treat! Brian decorated his cup to the nines, and was quite proud of it. He made a snail out of bread crust–he tells us we are not allowed to throw it out.. I wonder how long it’ll last. 😉 After bath tonight, Kendall treated me to some cool dance moves with her yellow playsilk to one...
Read MoreThe NC State Fair!
Today we were off to the State Fair! This year we went on Brandon’s birthday, like we went on my birthday last year. As we usually do, we met up with the Orazi family early, and went to get biscuits for breakfast. The fair is usually not so crowded early in the morning, but this year, we could tell it was going to be a record-breaker–it was pretty crowded to start with! We had our favorite treats, visited our favorite displays, and many of our favorite activities. The PBS Kids...
Read MoreLego Club, Pumpkin Lights
Another month, another LEGO Club meeting! However, this is the last one of the year as they take a break in November and December. So, we had to make this a good one, and Brian certainly did. The theme revolved around creating a rescue craft. He basically did two full designs and the creativity kept coming at home. We also saw some great Halloween and Thanksgiving mini-sets that we had to get. Brian finished off by building a racer to go down the ramp track at the front of the store....
