Star Wars Day at the Ballpark
It’s Star Wars Day with the Durham Bulls, so of course we had to be there! This year’s jerseys were C-3PO themed (I have to admit, I liked the R2-D2 ones from last year a lot more.) We all wore our own Star Wars t-shirts to celebrate. The game was pretty fun, but I think the kids were more excited about the sno-cones and Star Wars gimmicks....
Read MoreRebel Helmets for Star Wars Day
May the Fourth be with you! It’s Star Wars day, so Brandon and I picked up the special prize at the Lego store for the kids, and got them these fun paper rebel helmets, which they got to decorate with stickers. Pretty cool! It was also Kendall’s art show, so we made sure to check out all of her artwork on display at her school. Nice work, Kendall! I liked all of her artwork, but I think she was most proud of this red caterpillar she had painted. We stopped by the cemetary on...

Today, Kendall and I both wore Princess Leia t-shirts! I think hers is much cuter (it says “Self-Rescuing Princess”)!

So, Brandon helped me phone it in, by picking up a very cute pumpkin cake from Whole Foods. The kids were a little disappointed it wasn’t for them, but understood it was for a good...
Read MoreBrian’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...
