Today Nathan got his first issue of Lego Magazine. I handed it to him in the car on the way to someplace and he was enthralled the entire way. They’ve got fun new ideas for building things with Legos, mazes, word searches, etc. You can get a free two-year subscription here.

Since the boys have started sharing a room, they’ve both been fine just sleeping in their respective beds. Now, the beds are exactly the same, mind you, but technically, Will’s is the ghetto-fabulous version because it lacks rims. No, we didn’t cheap out on his race car bed, we have just been too lazy to…

Today over lunch Nathan was inquiring about when it was going to be summertime finally and he asked me, “Mommy, when is Kansas going to turn into Texas?” He was a little disturbed when I told him that, try as she might, Kansas will NEVER be Texas. Ever. He then made some reference to lots…

Here’s a version of Musical Footsteps, Part Two. Since Will brought home his harmonica last week from KM, Nathan’s managed to dig his out of the music bin upstairs in the playroom. These two have been doing quite a harmonica jig over the past few days. Nathan will play a series of notes in rapid…

This morning over breakfast Nathan and I were discussing today’s holiday and the significance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After reading this book, we discussed what kinds of changes Dr. King envisioned for the human race. At the end of the book the final page asks “What can you do to make the world…

David has been chomping at the bit to get Nathan’s robot dance on video. Well, last night he finally did it. Will decided to get in there and try it too. Nathan is of course obsessesed with robots and creating them out of his Legos, Gears, Kid K’nex, and what ever else he can find.…

Nathan participated in his group concert today and did so fabulous! He has already begun working on his real instrument but since the rest of his group is mostly working with their box instruments at this point, Nathan also performed today with his box instrument. He did get to use his real bow, however! Afterwards,…

These make me happy! Christmas may be my favorite season but Valentine’s Day is my absolute favorite holiday! I can’t think of a more fun time to share your love and admiration with not only your spouse, but family and friends. I picked up these cute little plates, bowls and utensils for the kids the…

Nathan was insistent on wearing his Cowboy clothes to school today. They are learning about Cowboys this week so he decided he’d use those new boots that Grandpa sent him for Christmas, as well as his Wrangler jeans. It was so fun dressing him this morning then seeing him leave the house all decked out…
