100th Day of School
Today’s the 100th day of school! A little later than expected due to all the snow, but we got here! I don’t remember the 100th day being a big deal when I was a kid, but they use it as a teaching opportunity now. The kids have a snack that’s 10 pieces each of 10 different kinds of food, they could (optionally) dress like they are 100 years old, and the kids were asked to bring in 100 of a particular item. Brian’s item? Lego bricks, of course! We received this cool...

Brian convinced Brandon to buy a ton of pansies while at Lowes yesterday–it’s more than we can probably handle, but, we did our best today to plant them a selection of various containers. We’ll have a lot of color this springtime! After planting and watering, the kids had a little plasma car time. Also included, Kendall building with her peek-a-blocks, and playing her toy piano. She was so proud of her tall...

Read MoreLego Movie!
Ohhh, the big day is here! The Lego movie is out today, and Brian just had to see it on opening night. He’s been talking about February 7th for months now, and Brandon and I just couldn’t say no.. So, we gave up our date night in order to take Brian out to the movie with just us, and Kendall stayed at Goddard for the pizza party (parent night out). He was pretty excited to have us to himself, and no little sister drama to distract from the movie experience! The movie really...
Read More‘Canes Kids Club Party
Tonight was the Hurricanes Kids’ Club party at PNC Arena! This was a pretty special event for Brian. We got to tour all around some of the behind-the-scenes areas at the stadium, including the locker room. Brian won an autographed puck in the raffle, and he collected autographs from some of his favorite players, and Stormy. But most importantly, he got to skate on the very ice where the ‘Canes play. This was a pretty big deal for him! Kendall and I watched from the stands,...
