Super Busy Saturday
Just another lazy Saturday for the Perkins clan–oh, no wait, we don’t have those. 🙂 It was the crazy-busy kind of Saturday that we usually have! We started things off bright and early with a Lego Movie-themed Lego meeting. Next up, a Lowe’s Build and Grow where Brian built a cool How To Train Your Dragon 2 Sheep Launcher game! He thinks this is awesome, and really, it works way better than you’d think! After that, we met up to head over to Goddard School for their...
Read MoreSummer Camp, Week 2 Roundup
This week, Brian was back at Marbles for a morning camp session based on Magic Treehouse! I’ve probably mentioned those books before, but they are a really fun series of books that are about a brother and sister who travel through time and space to visit many historical or otherwise exotic locations! They are a good early chapter book for kids Brian’s age, and he really loves reading them with me. The stories have sparked some really fun conversations about the various times and...

Today started Brian’s second week of summer camp, back at Marbles this week, for a morning session focused on Magic Treehouse! It was a bright and sunny morning, and Kendall was looking cool in her shades on the way to school. Marbles was getting things kicked off in a festive way, with a bubble maker running at the front door! That was helpful in keeping the kids entertained before the doors opened up. We got him safely to his room, and he was ready to get right to it! We...

Today we mostly just hung out at home! We had a nice waffle breakfast–Brian made a house guy out of his waffle, sausage, and melon balls. Kendall has gotten into Team Umizoomi, so Brian is somewhat interested in them again, too–he was using his workbook some, and she really wanted to get in on that! Kendall has been asking for another tattoo to wear, so we found one of her Hello Kitty ones from her birthday party, and hooked up up with some new (pretend) ink. She was very...

Today Brian had a haircut, but there’s no post from Brandon–Brian just wasn’t feeling like getting his picture made and wouldn’t cooperate at all! Well, the joke’s on Brian, because I’ll post pictures of him no matter how uncooperative he is. 😛 In truth, we were all feeling a little out-of-sorts today, and for some reason, it just seemed like Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Red Lobster would help. So, off we went, and yes, we destroyed two baskets of biscuits,...
Read MoreSummer Camp Week 1 Roundup!
Woo! This week started Brian’s summer off with a summer camp double header. He was at the NC Museum of Natural History in the morning for the boys-only Science of Ick camp, and at Marbles for a Cook A Book camp in the afternoons. I had hoped that since the camps are both downtown, that the 45 minutes break between them would work out okay, and as it turned out, it really was! In fact, it was really quite nice, getting a break from work to walk over to Natural History, have a picnic...
