Easter 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 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 MoreThe Kendall Train!
Alison and I, being only children, are very, very concerned with what we call “having parity in the universe” as for what we give our children (time or stuff). We know it’s impossible to have 100% equality, but we do our darnedest to try. The latest example of our ongoing effort to have balance between Brian and Kendall is having her own “name train”. For our regular readers, you’ll recall Brian’s Name Train in primary colors. Well, now our little...
Read MoreSpringtime Fun!
Today was really busy! It started off with Brian going to another Lowes Build and Grow events, where he built a monster truck! While at the Lowes, Brian really wanted to get some flowers to take home, and Brandon said that would be okay. He picked out a red geranium, some yellow and red pansies, and a pink gerbera daisy. Once they got home, we all went outside to enjoy the sunny day and plant the flowers in some of our containers! We might have some frosty mornings yet, so this way, we...
Read MoreSunday at Lake Lynn
Today we took a trip out to Lake Lynn park, a perennial favorite! It’s been awhile since we’ve visited our animal friends, and we had a ton of bread heels to give them. There were a lot of visiting seagulls, who we don’t always see here.. But today they were out in full force. The ducks and geese seemed to be pretty full already and were settling down, but the seagulls were ravenous, of course. Once they noticed we had so much bread, they completely mobbed us! It was...
Read MoreRoad Trip! Lego Kids Fest in Richmond, VA
Whew! Okay, where to begin.. So, this weekend was the Lego Kids Fest up in Richmond, VA. When the Fest was last in Raleigh, Brian was still pretty new to the Lego scene, and Kendall was still on the inside! We just knew Brian would get a lot more out of it now that he’s older and a Lego expert, but unfortunately, the Fest only goes to a few cities each year, and we’re not sure if it ever makes repeat visits! So, when we saw it was coming as close as Richmond, we knew we had to make...
