Marbles Party!
Whew! Today was a busy one. This morning, Brian had swimming lessons, and I stayed home with Kendall. We did some drawing with her markers, and then she started connecting them, to see how far she could go. She pretended to be Darth Maul a bit, and was very proud of herself as her marker-saber got bigger and bigger! Then she started biting on the marker caps, which was not okay with me–knowing she was being naughty evidently just made it funnier to her! Soon, it was time to go to...

Brian surprised me this morning by creating a condensation comic in our bathroom–one panel for each year of his life, from baby, through preschool, all the way up to age 7 and first grade (looking ahead, I guess!) I think the reasoning here was to explain to Kendall how he is much older, etc., but he seemed to really enjoy talking his way through each age and grade he’s had so far. Tonight Kendall piled up all of her friends from the foot of the bed, to the head of the bed, and...

Today was Drew’s birthday party, at Pump It Up again, and Brian once again ruled the air hockey table! He enjoyed bouncing and seeing some of his Goddard school friends. I stayed home with Kendall and had fun playing with Boo, the toy food, the shopping cart, and the play kitchen. Kendall talked on the phone a lot, and was a very busy little lady, shopping, cooking, giving Boo a lot of rides in the cart. 🙂 I was busy this morning, trying my hand at making some Star Wars snowflakes....

This morning on the way to school, Brian started to cry softly out of nowhere–we asked what the matter was, and he said it was Mrs. Boswell’s 40th birthday, and he’d forgotten to make her a card! Poor kiddo. We tried our best to scrape some supplies together with what we had in the car–a sheet of paper from a Red Hat pad, some pens, a highlighter, and some stickers from Brian’s workbook did the trick! He was able to make this card for her on the drive from...

Kendall just adores the Boba Fett alarm clock she got for Christmas from Brian–she hugs him and wants to keep him in her bed! He’s pretty angular and made of hard plastic, so he can’t be all that comfortable to snuggle with.. So I found a cute, much cuddlier Boba Fett for her (yes, of course they make such a thing!) and she now loves him, too. 🙂 Aww, baby’s first (er, second) bounty hunter! Also included, super-bundled Kendall from this morning! We could hardly...

Just some shots of Miss K being cute! She loves that Black Bean toy, and holds it by the ears! I think she likes the big eyes that stare, too–“jiro jiro!” What is that thing, you ask? Black Bean is a Mameshiba: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6m44rPoXng http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfF1b_s6KRw I realize that probably doesn’t help one bit. 😉...
