After ~two years of saying no to the face paint that was sitting in the craft cabinet, I finally said yes. In case you couldn’t tell, the girl was excited. After completing her own face, she volunteered to paint her brothers’. They were going for Spider Man … … but it turned out to...
Don’t forget, today is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A! Also known as .. Dress like a Cow, get free chicken! We’ve been working hard on our costumes, even the girl who claims to not like their food. You can download their costume starter kit, or design your own creation. It should be a Moo-valous...
Sam is a mechanically minded boy. I marvel at how different he is from his sister. I hate to generalize about these kinds of stereotypes, but he clearly sees the world from a different lens than her. He always wants to know how things work and asks insightful questions to understand the working principle...
I better get my Mother’s Day re-cap in before we hit Father’s Day. I had a lovely Mother’s Day thanks to a wonderful hubby and mostly wonderful kids (the kids are wonderful, they just have more moments of un-wonderfulness than their dad).

Wendy has been doing some doodling this summer. It’s really fun to see how her drawings have evolved from just a year or so ago. Here is some of her recent work:
On Tuesday morning, parents were invited to the classroom to attend their child’s publishing party. The kids worked on writing a piece which was published in the class writing journal. The theme for the class was writing letters and each child wrote a letter to a character from one of the three classic tales,...
Times is flying by and I’m only just now getting around to this post. Sam’ preschool ended right before the Memorial Day Weekend. It’s hard to believe his preschool tenure is over and in a few short months he will be starting kindergarten. He had a great time in preschool and had two wonderful,...
On the way to church today, 4yo Sam told us that when he grew up, he wanted to be (and I quote): “A race car driver, a jet plane pilot, a tow truck driver, and a daddy. Oh, and I wanna drive trains too.” We were amused. I was doubly amused when he came...
