Brian’s Republic Gunship
Today we didn’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo in any sort of traditional way–instead, we kept the Star Wars fun going and let Brian start building his Republic Gunship! We were surprised to find that it came with nine bags of parts and two instruction books–this is going to be a whopper of a build! Not to be outdone, Kendall decided to put on Brian’s play hockey gear and run circles around Brian’s building area....

Today we celebrated Star Wars day in a couple different ways! Nana Rosemary watched the kids for a little bit and let us sneak away for a nice lunch together at Firebirds Rocky Mountain Grill. She took the kids to one of their favorite places for lunch, Subway! I think we got the better deal, particularly considering their signature Double Black Diamond martini (not as crazy as it sounds, but definitely a winner for pineapple fans!) but Brian was clearly elated to go to Subway. 🙂 Later, we...
Read MoreBirthday Party, Chilis, and Lego Store
Today was a pretty fun one for Brian! He got to visit the Lego store to get his friend Eli a birthday present, and he built a pretty epic ship while he was there. He went to Eli’s party at Dave & Buster’s, his first time going there. He had a blast, by all accounts. 🙂 After the boys were back home, we decided to keep the party going and head to Chili’s for dinner tonight (Brian’s choice!) Chili’s now has these tablets on each table, where you can pay...
Read MoreKendall’s Baby Doll
I always ask Kendall, what did you play with at school today? What are your favorite toys? I mostly hear that she likes puzzles, table toys, painting, and playing outside. I don’t hear about her playing with baby dolls at all, and since her current classroom has quite the collection of them, I wondered–is she just not that into them, or does she not know what to do with them? I realized, Kendall didn’t have a baby doll of her own that she can dress and feed and take care...
Read MoreSpring Book Fair
Today was the Spring Book Fair at Root, and of course, we couldn’t miss that! Brian had a list of books he wanted, and found a lot more! Kendall found a pile she wanted as well. We tried to be selective, but we still ended up with a heavy load. Some notable purchases were Lego box sets for each kid, with 3 books and a mini set in each, and a pack of the first 12 Magic Treehouse books. I’m looking forward to those, since they are a good bridge to chapter books for little kids, and...
