February began with the 100th day of school, where Crew dressed like he was 100 years old. He made a collection of 100 pom pom balls. Blake participated in an interactive Walk Through the American Revolution. We did a few Disney days. Love that uncle photobomb. Crew and Finn found…
For years, we have made homemade Valentines and it’s one of my favorite traditions. The boys have been really into doing mazes lately and that was the inspiration for this year’s card.
The boys dug right in to their Valentine’s Day goodies when they got home from school. Nash was the only one who was assigned to decorate his own Valentine’s bag and of course, LEGOs had to be involved. The boys sprawled out on the front porch to compare their loot….
Troy and I went out on a date the weekend before Valentine’s Day to avoid the crowds on the actual holiday. It’s getting harder and harder to squeeze in those dates amidst the boys’ activities. Nash was the only one that was assigned to decorate a Valentine’s bag for his…
The boys had a four day weekend over President’s Day and we took advantage. The weather was gorgeous so we met up with a bunch of friends at the beach who were also taking advantage of no school. It was our first time experiencing Three Arch Bay, a private beach…
There isn’t a ton for me to document via my phone from the first half of this year because we were down and out most of the time. But I want to record a few things before we move on to an active summer and fall. We didn’t do anything…
2014 has been nuts for us so far. You know that phrase, “everything but the kitchen sink?” Well, in our case, the chaos began with the kitchen sink. A few weeks ago, our kitchen sink faucet snapped off, out of nowhere. It left us a constant stream of running water,…
My littlest Valentine. Ten months old and I couldn’t be more smitten. We had a little scare this month when Crew’s growth charts flatlined. He didn’t grow in weight or height from six to nine months. We had a bunch of lab draws done to pinpoint if there were any…
The designer in me can’t pass up an opportunity to create homemade Valentine’s Day cards. I don’t go overboard with them. Let’s be real – the child receiving it quickly removes the candy or attached trinket and tosses the card. So, the simpler the better. I have great memories of…
This winter, we made messes in the kitchen, frequented the children’s museum, celebrated hat day at school, rode on a ferris wheel and buffed Nash up on his birthday. Troy gave me a bouquet of new utensils for Valentine’s Day and I enjoyed my two little loves. The leprechaun was…
