So over the snow…
Okay, we are all completely, totally, and utterly over the snow. I’m hoping we’re done with it for the year. Today we mostly spent the day at home, just playing with the kids. Kendall reclaimed Chili Bean for herself today–she really likes him! I tried giving her pigtails–she’s so cute with them! Not easy to do with a wiggly little girl, but it just looks so typically two years old. 🙂 We braved leaving the house for dinner, mostly just out of...
Read MoreSnowy Valentines
Today was Valentine’s Day, and YET ANOTHER SNOW DAY. I gotta say, I’m pretty much over snow days–after a little while trying to work and making it through a couple video conferences, I just called it a day and played with the kids. Luckily, I had purchased everyone’s Valentine’s presents well in advance, so being housebound due to the snow this week didn’t cause me any problems. They got some fun sweets-themed games, like a cookie-match game, and Kendall...
Read MoreSnowpocalypse, The Revenge
Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is?? Another snow day! Don’t get me wrong, snow is a rarity here and it’s a lot of fun.. When there’s enough to enjoy, but then it melts away quickly. That’s not what we’re getting this year, it seems–we’re getting piles of snow that melts and refreezes into treacherous ice. So, we were all home again today. The kids enjoyed staying in their PJs late, playing with Play-Doh, playing in the front yard this...
Read More100th Day of School
Today’s the 100th day of school! A little later than expected due to all the snow, but we got here! I don’t remember the 100th day being a big deal when I was a kid, but they use it as a teaching opportunity now. The kids have a snack that’s 10 pieces each of 10 different kinds of food, they could (optionally) dress like they are 100 years old, and the kids were asked to bring in 100 of a particular item. Brian’s item? Lego bricks, of course! We received this cool...
Read MoreEarly Spring Planting
Brian convinced Brandon to buy a ton of pansies while at Lowes yesterday–it’s more than we can probably handle, but, we did our best today to plant them a selection of various containers. We’ll have a lot of color this springtime! After planting and watering, the kids had a little plasma car time. Also included, Kendall building with her peek-a-blocks, and playing her toy piano. She was so proud of her tall...
Read MoreKendall’s Pigtails
I had the morning at home with Kendall, and ended up putting her hair up in pigtails! I can hardly believe that it’s long enough to do that, but, it is! I thought she was so adorable! Brian was out at his Lowes Build and Grow, and came home with this Valentine letter box! Nice job, Brian....
