Pumpkin Patch!
Today was just packed! It started off bright and early with Brian and I attending a Lego Kids’ Club meeting–the theme was Lego Star Wars, and the project was a build an escape vehicle for Jabba the Hutt! The kids all got a Jabba t-shirt and minifigure (being Jabba, he’s not so mini!) This was pretty exciting for everyone, and Brian started singing a Jabba the Hutt song–the other kids took up the chant, and it was so funny! Next up, a trip out to Hill Ridge Farms for...

Tech company shirts are a staple of the industry, and to not even ask if someone would prefer a ladies’ style shirt seems awfully presumptive, to the point of being...

Brandon surprised us today with a gift for the family! He used his birthday money to splurge on this awesome Lego Haunted House. He brought it upstairs wrapped in a blanket, and Brian was very hammy, looking inside with his whole body–“I can’t see anything!” Here’s a video from Lego explaining how awesome it is, they can give you a better tour than we can: Also, here are some pics of Kendall, making me plates with her shape-sorting food, and reading her Thomas...
