Chinese Dinner
Tonight we went out to dinner at Neo Asia with Grandpa Steve and Grandma Sue! They helped us out a lot by picking up the kids for us, and we all met up at the restaurant. We had a great visit and delicious dinner together, and the kids did well enough on their dinner to get an ice cream for dessert! I think that might have been their favorite part....

Tonight we felt like going out, even though it was a school night, and ended up at the Flying Biscuit cafe. I’ve been there a good number of times with work folks, but the rest of the fam hadn’t been before. Safe to say, it was a hit! The warm biscuits served with a cranberry-apple butter were awesome as always, and Brandon and the kids enjoyed them as much as I do. Brian was quite excited about his pancake! Kendall really got into using her crayons while we waited. Also...

Lego Kids Fest is back in Raleigh! We didn’t think it would be back so soon–usually they don’t repeat cities, but I suppose the Fest was a big success here! I know we did our part when it was here last time, and today was no different. 😉 Like before, the Fest is about four hours of somewhat-controlled chaos, and never seems quite long enough. There were some new attractions this year, and Kendall got a lot more out of it this time! She enjoyed the Duplo piles quite a...
Read MoreKendall’s Creations
We finally received our long-awaited pick-a-brick order from Lego.com–I’d had a plan for a Valentine surprise, but underestimated the shipping time for a custom order! But, even though it was late, Kendall and I had fun making a Lego rose and cute message to surprise the boys with after swimming lessons! I had also purchased some lightsaber elements, and Kendall thought those were just awesome! She made a quadruple-decker lightsaber and was quite proud of herself! We also...
