Triple Party Madness!
Today, we found ourselves invited to three different parties! Oh, these children and their social lives. 😉 We didn’t want them to miss out on anything, so, we decided to do split duty. Brandon took Brian to Nolan’s party in the morning, and Hayes’s party in the afternoon. I took Kendall to the Goddard block party which was in between the other two. Nolan’s party was at Three Bears Acres, and Brian had a blast trying out all the outdoor activities. The big slide...
Read MoreHockey Night!
It was a special night for Brian, with his skating lessons rescheduled for after school today, followed by a hockey night with Daddy! I picked up some Halloween craft supplies on the way home from work, and had a girls’ night with Kendall. I hung up some felt banners to surprise Brian, and Kendall thought I was pretty silly, climbing up to hang them on the blinds. Also: Kendall’s class made a handprint tree in fall colors, so cute! And, some pics of the kids playing Legos...
Read MoreBirthday Cake Oreos!
Today was warm enough that Kendall got to wear one of her summer outfits one more time.. I think the white cat embroidery is so cute!

(Yes, it might seem like we buy a lot of treats, but at least we don’t usually finish them all in one go! Or even in a month.) Kendall had missed out on these previously, so we let her try one tonight. She was...
Read MoreGetting into the Halloween Spirit!
It’s October, and that means it’s time to celebrate Halloween! We really get into it, since it’s such a fun holiday. For, um, the kids. 😉 Certainly we, as upstanding adult citizens are much too proper for–oh, who am I kidding, IT’S PUMPKIN AND COSTUMES AND CANDY TIME!! What’s not to love? 😀 Well, I’d been waiting all year for Kendall to wear her Hello Kitty Halloween shirt again, and today’s the day! She was so excited. She just loves...
Read MoreKendall’s Hat
Brandon received a hat and shirt today, from his involvement on RDO, the Red Hat Distribution of Openstack. The shirt is quite nice, but as usual, Brandon can’t wear just any old hat, not with his big melon (love you, hon! and your cranium, too.) 😉 But that’s okay, Kendall was perfectly happy to take ownership of the hat, and wore it proudly during her after-bath...
