Kendall After School
I’ve come to really look forward to my Tuesday afternoons with Kendall! While Brian is at skating lessons, Kendall and I have some girl time. She’s so cute, every time I pick her up, she asks, “Do we have Mommy’s car?” She cheers when I say that we do. Then, on the ride home, she asks if we can do all of the things we’ve done on previous afternoons together. “Can we play with Baby Jenna?” “Can we ride bikes?” “Can we have...
Read MoreFoam Swords and Lego Fun!
Today was a day of Lego and foam sword fun! We made some pretty involved creations together. Later, when Nana was here, the kids showed off their foam swords! They sure love those...
Read MoreSwords and Shields!
Brian first spotted these at ToysRUs quite awhile ago, and I wasn’t sure he’d still be into them now–but oh boy, am I glad I decided to get two sets! Both kids just love their foam swords and shields. I suppose it’s because of the Dragon movie being such a huge deal for them right now (leaving aside the fact that these don’t look like Viking gear in the...
Read MoreJuly Playdate with Ty
This morning, I surprised Kendall with a felt cupcake I made for her last night. I think it’s safe to say she liked it! 🙂 We had grand plans for a splash day playdate with Ty today, soaking up all the July sun and heat we could handle. But the weather had different plans, being a lot cooler and wetter than we’d expected! But, we did have some clear patches, and we made the most of it! We splashed and played and played with sprinklers and such, on the already-muddiest summer...
Read MoreLego Club, Reading Class
We had a busy morning today! We started off with a Lego Club meeting, with a Ninja Turtles theme this time. Brian hasn’t really gotten into the turtles, but he had fun anyway. At the end, there was a special surprise–a lady came by with some turtle-themed prizes! Brian chose a mask, which we both thought was cooler than the foam finger. 😉 Next, we were off to Brian’s reading class over at NC State. On the way home from class, we picked up lunch for everyone at...
Read MoreArt Camp Roundup!
Today was Brian’s last day of his Ancient Adventures art camp, and honestly, before this afternoon, we didn’t have a clue as to what he’d been working on all week! Of course we asked him, but usually all he felt like talking about was playing at after-care, or nothing at all. Certainly nothing about the ancient Greeks and Romans! We weren’t even sure if he was having a great time there..! But today, all of that changed, when we came to his art show. We had told...
