The Long-Awaited Snow!
After a few false starts, the snow is finally here! We’ve had 2-hour delays and after-school activities cancelled a few times this year, but nary a flake until late this evening! School was closed today in anticipation of snowpocalypse–but that ended up being entirely unnecessary. Oh well! I was so busy trying to work, and spend time with Brian when I could look away from the computer, I hardly took any photos today at all! We did build our Lego Creator Family House set today,...
Read MoreConnect Four!
Brian is really, really into Connect Four right now. He plays it with his friends at Laurel Hills after school, and he is serious about it–he plays to win! We got the iPad app, but also had to run out and pick up our own set at Target. I am secretly glad that he seems to like the physical game the most. 🙂 I have taught him some of my tricksy moves, and he can stump Brandon pretty regularly now! We have to console him, telling him it’s just a game, not to take it personally..!...

Whew! Today was a busy one. This morning, Brian had swimming lessons, and I stayed home with Kendall. We did some drawing with her markers, and then she started connecting them, to see how far she could go.

Then she started biting on the marker caps, which was not okay with me–knowing she was being naughty evidently just made it funnier to her! Soon, it was time to go to...

Brian surprised me this morning by creating a condensation comic in our bathroom–one panel for each year of his life, from baby, through preschool, all the way up to age 7 and first grade (looking ahead, I guess!) I think the reasoning here was to explain to Kendall how he is much older, etc., but he seemed to really enjoy talking his way through each age and grade he’s had so far. Tonight Kendall piled up all of her friends from the foot of the bed, to the head of the bed, and...
Read MoreA Busy Winter’s Day
Today was Drew’s birthday party, at Pump It Up again, and Brian once again ruled the air hockey table! He enjoyed bouncing and seeing some of his Goddard school friends. I stayed home with Kendall and had fun playing with Boo, the toy food, the shopping cart, and the play kitchen. Kendall talked on the phone a lot, and was a very busy little lady, shopping, cooking, giving Boo a lot of rides in the cart. 🙂 I was busy this morning, trying my hand at making some Star Wars snowflakes....
