Backyard Fun!
We had a pretty fun Saturday today! This morning, Kendall and I played with her new Duplo boat while Brian was at swimming lessons. She was so cute, getting really excited about the boats and especially the red bunny and yellow bear that came with them! Nana came by and played with the kids for awhile, and they did some artwork together. When they played downstairs, Kendall discovered the take-apart SUV and power drill, and now she’s really into that! She also took apart the...

We had a fun, busy day today! The kids were active early, playing piano (okay, that’s a charitable way to view it–mostly vying for position on the bench, trying to not get caught shoving each other!) We heard one of them start singing the classic “Lollipop” song by the Chordettes (1958)–soon enough, both of them were singing it at top volume. We asked if they’d heard the original, and, long story short, we ended up watching a whole pile of black-and-white...

Today we decided to have an outing to the aquarium with the kids! Brian passed on going last time, but he felt like attending this time. I think he was glad he decided to come! It was a lovely day, and there was so much to see and do at the aquarium. The kids liked the fountain out front, and the big tanks, of course. The otters were being pretty active, which is always a treat. We had a great time, got some Dairy Queen treats when we started to feel a bit peckish. That gave us the...

It’s our first full day at the beach, and we mostly took it easy and had a relaxing day. That’s exactly what you need sometimes, right? The kids played inside this morning, with the penguin bowling set, and with the Lego Beach House set. Kendall debuted some of her new summertime pajamas and was quite proud of herself. The kids both have new Lego-themed crocs–those were quite a hit! It’s still a little chilly this early in spring, but it was a lovely day to be...
Read MoreSwimming, Party, and School on Saturday!
Today started early, with Brian’s swim lessons this morning! Kendall tagged along, and Brandon got some cute pictures of them sitting outside in the sun. Then, Brian was off to get a haircut while I hung out with Kendall. Later, Brian went to his friend Emily’s birthday party–he was happy to discover that that it was at Orange Leaf, one of our favorite frozen yogurt places nearby. He picked out this kind of weird-looking octopus birthday card for her, and while he was...
