Brunch and Puppets
This morning, we checked out of our hotel and had a nice brunch before heading to Sue’s. The kids were excited to see us and tell us all about their sleepover. At Sue’s, I finished putting together the sheep puppets we’d been working on. The kids watched Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and entertained us all before our family dinner together. Marci had cupcakes for us, in Superbowl team...
Read MoreGoddard Science Fair
Goddard School had a science fair this evening! We enjoyed some snacks and then visited each classroom to see what they had made. The kids loved the Creamy Coconut Play-Doh and the slime in Kendall’s class the best! Kendall wanted to wash her hands pretty soon after playing with the slime....
Read MoreKendall’s Neck-a-lace, Chili’s, Hats
Kendall’s class did a bead-stringing activity today, and boy, was she sure proud of her “neck-a-lace”! (That’s how she pronounces it.) 😉 We randomly decided to go to Chili’s tonight for dinner, since we were tired, and Brian loves it. I’m liking it less and less these days, since the quality is dropping like a rock–besides the tableside guacamole and the most expensive Margarita on the menu, everything seems just one click above a microwavable Lean...
Read MoreKendall’s Radio
Kendall loves this toy radio, just like Brian did when it was his..! I suppose it’s more of a baby toy, but, she still loves it. It’s amusing to me, too, since it has a few different “genres” of music on it. I like to imagine what artist they were copying when they made each song for the toy. 😉 Today I saw that she had discovered that the antenna raises and lowers–none of us had figured that out before! Brian spun it around plenty when he was a baby, but,...
Read MoreSunday Dinner
I woke up to the sound of the kids playing loudly–I found them with the iPad and Angry Birds in Brian’s room. Hmm. I prefer a more gentle reintroduction to the world, but, okay. I got them to at least go downstairs and play with Duplos. Included is a video of them rocking out to Queen’s “I Want It All” in the van. Brian does this every-few-words shouting thing (don’t ask, I don’t get it either). Kendall does her epic Stevie Nicks hippie-hands...
