Viking Hats & Playsilks, Hockey & Dance Party
I wasn’t feeling so good today (sinus infection, must be Friday) so Brandon took Kendall along for Brian’s hockey practice. She was excited to be at the IcePlex, but probably pretty jealous to not be on the ice herself! I sent her a picture of her Twilight Sparkle pony who arrived today. 😉 The kids came home and were excited to get their new playsilks, which they combined with their viking helmets and toy swords to great effect. The kids were so spun up, they ended up having...
Read MoreHome Time, Home Opener
I made it home, safe and sound (but sick as a dog!) Brandon and the kids picked me up at the airport so early, the kids were still in their PJs. I was happy to see them and have breakfast before they left for school and work. I, on the other hand, spent the whole day in bed with the good cough syrup. Tonight was the Hurricanes’ home opener, and we had all wanted to go, especially since they were giving out free scarves. Brandon had gone to the trouble of getting us tickets, so, I...
Read MorePainting and Hockey Friday
Tonight was one of our girls’ nights, and Kendall and I made the most of it! She was looking sort of bored when I got to her classroom, but she popped up off that sofa and ran to me, squealing “Momeeeeeeeeeee!” She showed me some of her dance moves, too. At home, we did some painting with watercolors, while the boys enjoyed their time at the IcePlex....

Brian got a special surprise today: the Star Wars themed goalie mask he’d been wanting for ages! Brandon had gotten it for him after all (even though it was pretty expensive for what it is!) It was the design he picked, featuring Shock Troopers and a lot of hot lava, like on Mustafar. Brian also set up all his Star Wars figures on the play table, and um.. It’s pretty embarrassing how many he has! But he really does know who they all are and plays with them a...
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...
