Rooty, Dinner out, Kendall dances to “hang with me”
Today, Brian really wanted to take his “Rooty” to school–his prize from the fair really does look like his school mascot! We got dinner out tonight, at Dos Taquitos–always a treat! Brian decorated his cup to the nines, and was quite proud of it. He made a snail out of bread crust–he tells us we are not allowed to throw it out.. I wonder how long it’ll last. 😉 After bath tonight, Kendall treated me to some cool dance moves with her yellow playsilk to one...
Read MoreThe NC State Fair!
Today we were off to the State Fair! This year we went on Brandon’s birthday, like we went on my birthday last year. As we usually do, we met up with the Orazi family early, and went to get biscuits for breakfast. The fair is usually not so crowded early in the morning, but this year, we could tell it was going to be a record-breaker–it was pretty crowded to start with! We had our favorite treats, visited our favorite displays, and many of our favorite activities. The PBS Kids...

The theme revolved around creating a rescue craft. He basically did two full designs and the creativity kept coming at home. We also saw some great Halloween and Thanksgiving mini-sets that we had to get. Brian finished off by building a racer to go down the ramp track at the front of the store....

Today, Kendall and I both wore Princess Leia t-shirts! I think hers is much cuter (it says “Self-Rescuing Princess”)! I should have been making a cake or pie for the Rootin’ Tootin’ bake sale tonight, but, being so sick, I just could not manage it (nor should I risk it!) So, Brandon helped me phone it in, by picking up a very cute pumpkin cake from Whole Foods. The kids were a little disappointed it wasn’t for them, but understood it was for a good...
Read MoreA Case of the Mondays
Well, okay, what I have is a bit worse than that..! I stayed home from work today and tried to rest up. After school, Brian surprised me with a very cute Halloween-themed card, and even attached $40 from his own money! I’m not sure why, but he insisted! What a sweet thing to do, anyway. 🙂 Also included, video of Miss K doing some cool bathtub dancing (?) to the Beastie Boys this morning. ...
