Mother’s Day School Parties
Today there were Mother’s Day parties at both kids’ schools, so I stepped out from work twice to attend them. Brian’s class presented a really cute program, complete with poems and songs, and Brian delivered his lines beautifully. Brian gave me a set of lovely gifts that he’d made himself, and I really loved the picture + bio he made for me! My favorite bit was his answer to “The hardest part about being a mom would be”: “Wrcking at Red Hat all...

Kendall still loves her unicorn that Brian won for her at the fair! It’s been a favorite to take to school this week. Brian only ever took Tiger to school for his naptime pal, but Kendall mixes it up. She holds it by the horn so much, the gold is starting to rub off a bit. I hope she isn’t chewing on it..!...

I liked all of her artwork, but I think she was most proud of this red caterpillar she had painted. We stopped by the cemetary on...

At bedtime, the kids wanted to play with their baby blankets–they even made me go and get out Brian’s blue blanket that’s similar to Kendall’s pink...
Read MoreBrian’s Angry Birds
Much to our chagrin, Brian set up his Star Wars Angry Birds on the kitchen floor. We made him pick it up fairly quickly, but he did enjoy it while he could! I’ve been reorganizing some cabinets and found this glass from the Linux Expo that Brandon and I went to. 1998 doesn’t feel that long ago to us, but it seems like the dark ages to the kids....
