Kendall’s Box of Books
Kendall loves a box of books! Today, she wanted to share her prized box of Tangled books with her class. We asked her teachers if that was okay, and they agreed! They read them to the class. Kendall was so proud. Also included, video of Brian singing in the car, and pics of the kids playing after school (Brian with his Star Wars toys, and Kendall with the new-to-her ocean scene...

Today we had a fun Sunday at home! Brian built this wooden pirate ship, from a kit he’d gotten from Lowes. He decorated it a lot more (with colorful electrical tape!) after these photos were taken. Some neighborhood kids came by, and OMG, do they lack boundaries, impulse control, and any sort of parental supervision. After only a few interactions, we’re now super wary of these kids, who will just walk up into the garage and start messing with stuff, and are constantly banging...

Today was another super-packed Saturday! We started off the morning with a Build and Grow session for Brian, where he made a cool fire truck.

But not for too long, because we had a party to get to! Our cousin Ava’s 4th birthday party was today, and we knew it was going to be a Frozen party with a special guest! It...

As it turned out, both kids really liked the rock kit, especially the tiny little magnifying...
Read MoreCutie Kendall, Brian’s Hockey
It’s Friday night, and that means Kendall and I have some girl time while the boys are out at Brian’s learn-to-play hockey class! Today she was surprised because we got a box from Gymboree, with a much softer Viking costume helmet for Brian (that I think he has a chance of actually wearing for more than 5 minutes on Halloween) and a Viking-helmet-like winter hat (just because it’s funny). Brian let her borrow Crocky this evening, and she seemed very happy about that. Also...
