Kendall Loves Pancakes (and Kale?!)
We know Kendall loves her food.. But today, she really celebrated with gusto! I surprised her with a milk delivery when I got her this morning, which is always met with quite a celebration. We had pancakes for breakfast, which brought on some more partying. And for dinner, I made a soup with sweet Italian sausage, cannellini beans, and kale. I knew that Kendall would love the beans (she loves all kinds–wish you could hear her yell “bean!” as she points to them). But she...
Read MoreRelaxing Sunday
Today was a relaxing Sunday at home, where we let the kids stay in their PJs late into the day and just took it easy. We made Belgian waffles with fresh strawberries and whipped cream (and have now created another little whipped cream monster–Kendall is obsessed with the stuff!) Kendall found some beads and wore them like a backpack while she played with the Star Wars toys and car garage. Brian and Brandon made some pretty spectacular tub crayon art during Brian’s bathtime...
Read MorePlay Restaurant
Today the kids were very cute, playing restaurant with the toy pizza, stir fry, and sushi sets. Brian did most of the work, cooking, and taking care of customers, while Kendall mostly thought the velcro chopsticks and cucumber rolls were just magical. Brian spelled out their names and “love you” on the fridge with letter magnets all by himself, I was suitably impressed! Also, yes, the kids still haven’t finished off their Easter candy.. Maybe by Halloween....
Read MoreMother’s Day
For Mother’s Day, Brandon and the kids made sure I had a lovely day! They woke me up to my first gift of blueberry pancakes and maple syrup. Brian helped get breakfast ready. Kendall was wearing her “Good Morning Mommy” PJs. Later, the kids helped Brandon refresh the sandbox by replacing all the old sand with fresh play sand. Moving all that sand was heavy, as Brian showed us to great dramatic effect! We enjoyed the new sand as well as some chalk drawing time. For...
Read MoreJust Dance!
May the 4th be with you! It’s Star Wars day, but Brian felt like playing a different game today–Just Dance 4! Brian learned about this series of games at school. At the end of the day when lessons are done and the kids need to get some energy out, the teachers sometimes show YouTube video captures of the game, and the kids get to dance along. Brian loves music, and dancing to this game seemed to be such a favorite activity for him, I picked up a copy for us to play at home!...
Read MoreKendall’s Bubbles
One of Kendall’s favorite words to say is “bubble!” Sometimes it seems like it’s her favorite word–we hear it so much, Brian tends to say bubble over and over when he’s pretending to be a baby! She’s not just babbling, though, we’re sure she knows what she’s talking about! I made her a bubblebath today, and she said “bubble” with such enthusiasm, I just had to share! 7 views Kendall Says...
