Lightsaber Battle, Part Deux
Sometimes, a lightsaber battle has to continue the next morning.. And even into the car. 😉 The kids are really happy about having two of them now! Kendall’s hair is long enough that I need to put it up in the morning–she doesn’t always have much patience for this, though, and tends to pull out her “hairbow” almost as soon as I put it in. One way to get her to leave it in is to immediately run into the bathroom to show her what she looks like in the mirror....
Read MoreThe Monkey Song (and Dance!)
One of Brian’s favorite songs on the CD from Grandpa Steve is what he calls the “Monkey Song”. It’s “Jungle Love” by Morris Day and the Time (from 1984), and it starts off with some fun monkey sounds.. But Brian really gets into the whole song. He can move and groove in his booster seat like you wouldn’t believe. He usually does his best work when nobody’s looking (yay for kid-rearview-mirrors!) but today after school, I was able to capture a...
Read MoreSkating Saturday!
It was another skating Saturday for Brian! He’s really improving, and having fun–just check out that grin! Kendall and I relaxed at home, and she got into playing trains quite a bit!

I guess the boys were worn out–they both sacked out during story time....

Grandpa Steve and Grandma Sue have been far beyond invaluable to our entire family for more than two years with transporting Brian to and from Root Elementary School and The Goddard School. Reports from all three parties indicate that they all have really enjoyed this arrangement. This responsibility will be ending in literally one week as Wake County Schools go on summer break and Brian will be returning in the fall as a full-time Kindergartner! As much fun as it has been over these two...
Read MoreMorning and Afternoon Cuteness!
Aren’t these kids adorable? We already know this, of course, but more photos are never unwelcome, right? 🙂 Kendall was the cat’s pajamas this morning in her, ah, cat pajamas, holding onto her little big cats. (English teachers, forgive me that awkward sentence!) After school, Brian was just glowing in the afternoon sun, rocking out to some Cheap Trick, wearing his cool t-shirt with a quote from their song “Surrender“. (Yes, the shirt is quite hipster-ironic and...
