Sunday Playdate with Ty
Today Brian got to have a long-awaited playdate with Ty! I think the excitement got the better of him–both he and Kendall were up ridiculously early! They made up for making me get up ridiculously early by being very cute.. Kendall was happy to go ahead and get dressed nicely, and she was so funny wanting to wear her monkey backpack for an adventure. She and Brian made their anywhere chairs into a bus and insisted on some crazy driving! Finally, Ty was here, and Brian raced to the...

This afternoon we all played with Legos around the Lego table. Kendall was being very silly and so cute in the afternoon...

We got Kendall a five-pack of alphabet Star Wars t-shirts in size 4T, thinking she’d have to grow into them.. She’s having none of that, insisting on wearing them Right Now! Most days of the week! And usually, not with anything that even comes close to matching them! Today’s outfit choice wasn’t so wild, and I think the “B is for Boba Fett” shirt might just be her favorite. 😉 Hey, they’re helping her learn her letters, right? Also included, the...

Happy Mother’s Day! I had a nice one with my favorite people. They surprised me with a nice brunch at Fleming’s, and we had a great time, even if our kids’ active personalities aren’t exactly a fit for that sort of place. 😉 We decided that next time, we’ll make our reservation for after noon so we can order mimosas. That should help, right? 😉 Afterward, we went over to Laurel Hills and took a little nature walk by the pond and through the woods. Brian...
