Easter Sunday
Happy Easter! We sure had an amazing Easter this year. We started off the day with a breakfast of red velvet pancakes! Yum. Brian was excited to see that his egg had hatched and a cute little duckling was inside! Then, it was off to open presents. We probably overdid it this year, in fact, I’m sure of it..! There is just too much cute stuff out there. 🙂 Kendall got some Duplos that include a brown and white bunny and some cute toy eggs, which peep (in a quiet analog way–no...
Read MoreEaster Egg Hunt!
Today was just packed! Holy moly, where to begin. 🙂 We started the day with breakfast and playing with our new Duplos a little. The kids had figured out that they have matching pink and blue bears, and were playing with those a lot this morning. But we had to get going fairly soon–because today we took the kids to a gigantic Easter Egg Hunt in downtown Raleigh. It was on Halifax Mall, the great green area that is between a lot of the government complex buildings (including the...
Read MoreFriday at Home
We spent today just being lazy and relaxing at home! We played a lot of Legos, and Brian wanted me to take pictures of his rainbow pattern. 🙂 I said we could go ahead an open up one of Kendall’s Easter presents, a big box of Lego Duplos with a safari theme. (I know, we have way too many Duplos already, but they are so cute! She loved these new animals at the Kids Fest and we just had to get them.) I tried to not freak out too bad over losing the past week of pictures from the...
Read MoreEaster Eggs!
Today started our long weekend together at home for Easter break. We’ve been enjoying putting up some decorations, like a felt egg garland in the kitchen, and Brian has been going to town decorating some foam easter egg shapes with stickers! I’d bought him some “hatching egg” toys, which have a mystery baby animal toy inside that emerges after soaking the egg in water for a few days. Brian chose the green egg, and we put it in a vase. We’ll watch it over the...
Read MoreSpring Goddard Photos!
Happy (early) Easter, everybody! We wanted to go ahead and share the kids’ spring photos from Goddard! These are scans of the proofs, we’ll update with digitals once the CDs come back. 😉 Brian chose the cute black and white bunny this year, and clearly, he’s a pro at bunny holding now. Kendall was a little skeptical but we got some cute smiles! Her teachers told us that she was the only kid in her class that didn’t completely wig out and cry about the bunny, so,...
Read MoreMangos and Lightsaber Battles
You know, just your average Wednesday. 🙂 Here’s some random shots of the kids being silly, to contrast with their lovely spring photos! 🙂 Today I had a bunch of mangos and was starting to cut them into cubes to have along with our dinner. Brian was so excited about them he couldn’t wait for me to finish–he took a half and started eating it, skin and all! He claimed he liked it that way and kept going even after I offered to take the peel off. 🙂 Kendall was into the...
