Halloween Decorations!
We sure do love Halloween around here! We’re going all out with decorations, and Brian and I have gone a little crazy making pumpkin decorations for the past couple days! I know that as crafts go, the foam sticker thing probably has very little artistic merit (sorry Mom!) But it’s a lot of fun, with a low time investment, little mess, and high reward! Here’s Brian showing off our windows, covered in pumpkins. He made one with a spider family, labeling the Mommy, Daddy,...
Read MoreInternational Festival!
Today we attending Raleigh’s own International Festival! This is one of my favorite fall events, though with how packed our fall schedule inevitably is, we don’t always make it out. This year, bringing two mobile children to a packed and noisy convention center presented a new set of challenges. All in all, though, we had a great time. We sampled foods from Nepal, Thailand, Japan, Poland, France, India, Vietnam, probably more. 🙂 We watched many different performances, and the...
Read MoreTriple Party Madness!
Today, we found ourselves invited to three different parties! Oh, these children and their social lives. 😉 We didn’t want them to miss out on anything, so, we decided to do split duty.

Nolan’s party was at Three Bears Acres, and Brian had a blast trying out all the outdoor activities. The big slide...
Read MoreHockey Night!
It was a special night for Brian, with his skating lessons rescheduled for after school today, followed by a hockey night with Daddy! I picked up some Halloween craft supplies on the way home from work, and had a girls’ night with Kendall. I hung up some felt banners to surprise Brian, and Kendall thought I was pretty silly, climbing up to hang them on the blinds. Also: Kendall’s class made a handprint tree in fall colors, so cute! And, some pics of the kids playing Legos...
Read MoreDay Out With Thomas!
Today we were off to celebrate a Day Out with Thomas, in Spencer, NC. Brian informed us that he isn’t really into Thomas anymore (this kid is too big for his britches, now that he’s a big kindergartener!) We told him that we were going for Kendall, and he could just come along and support her. Well, once we arrived, Thomas fever took hold, and Brian was having a great time, singing along with all the Thomas songs, taking part in his favorite activities, just like he had in years...
