here’s my feeble attempt to make up for a lack of updates lately… we celebrated paw paw’s (derek’s grampa’s) 93rd birthday this weekend… kids love cupcakes. since it’s 200 degrees everyday, we’ve had to hit the park early early early in the morning. and isaac can get his fill of jumping off elevated surfaces. the […]
lid kid everyday life
the week in review…
we had a pretty uneventful week this week. we started off with memorial day, as did the rest of the country, i suppose. derek made a bucket of guacamole and we headed over to our pals the p-salls for a little cookout. the buddies. derek took this picture of his burger, and thanks to apple’s […]
summer so far.
we’ve had a number of popsicles. we made a sidewalk chalk town. complete with target. played with/in the sand and water table. we went to a concert in the park followed by ice cream at alex’s. (with my kid’s favorite person in the universe, nadia)…. derek built a swing set for the lid kids, so […]
end of childhood year picnic
so, i lied a little. i said that friday was isaac’s last day of preschool. and it was. but, he still had one more event to attend, to cap off his year. an end of year party at joanie moser park. monday. first things first, ike had to show off his swinging skills. there were […]
last day.
friday was ike’s last day of preschool. he has a party at the park tomorrow, but that doesn’t count, because i have to be there. it only counts if i have the morning off from two kids. 🙂 anyhow, i thought i would document via iphone photo. if i was awesome, like the moms on […]
nine.
nine years ago today, this happened. it was unseasonably cold. and rainy. but, made for great pictures. (my brother jake, when he was the cutest kid on earth.) ps. that’s the moses cone manor house on the blue ridge parkway, if you’re thinking it looks familiar. 🙂
some randomness.
on saturday, i went yard sale-ing with my pal jude. it was one of those sweet yard sale days where i just kept finding sweet sweet deals. one of the best was this radio flyer trike (with handle) that i scored for $20 for anna. it’s $100 new. the hat she’s wearing was also a […]
summer ’12 to do
with one day of school left for the boy, we decided to assemble our second annual summer to do list. Â the first one was a big hit, and this year’s looks very similar. Â why ruin a good thing? Â we left some space to add in some extra ideas.
five years.
in january, ike turned five. every year, we get further and further behind in scheduling his checkup. for shots and/or insurance, they have to be a full year apart and usually we go about a year and a few weeks… so, my point is, we went for his checkup on wednesday. may 9th. 🙂 i […]
children’s museum. again.
on thursday, we hit up the children’s museum again. we’re shooting to really get our money’s worth out of this year membership… plus, i wanted to sign isaac up for a summer camp that they have there at the end of summer. construction junction. :). they build forts and sugar cube igloos and so on.
