Pedicures!!!

I took Michelle for her first pedicure today. Clearly she dressed herself accessorizing with the pink glitter belt.

Crazy Weather

"Only in New England" do we get weather that is all over the place. Last week it was really warm....


...this morning it was snowing...

.


....and by afternoon the snow was gone although intermittent rain (and sunshine) came through. (Notice the ground behind Charlie.)



Breakfast with Dad is always a great start to the day!!

Kindergarten Kick-Off

Today the town held a carnival for the kids entering Kindergarten in September. We made a special day of it. First we started the day at ballet/tap with Grace.


We stopped on the way out for a few shots, I am not sure who taught Michelle these "poses".




We then met Molly and Auntie Jenn for lunch, someone was excited.....





Once at the event we quickly found many familiar faces including Kyle!


There were so many activities to try out, kindergarten is going to be fun!!





Charlie got to have a special date with Nani and went to a store called "Cupcake Charlie's", what a lucky guy!!

Museum of Science

We decided to go on a mystery ride on Tuesday to the Museum of Science. Tori met us which was really fun.




Michelle even got Tori to go on the seesaw with her!!


We ended the outing at Cheesecake Factory which of course was my favorite part!!

Outdoor time

The weather is slowing improving around here so we are trying to get outside more.
Michelle will swing for hours on the swing set while Charlie runs circles all over the yard.





After so much time outside it is bath time!



Collecting rocks outdoors and painting them has become a favorite past time. These rocks were collected in the dark and had to be painted the moment the kids woke up. (Yes, Charlie will not leave his room unless he is fully dressed in the morning)



As much as I want a new floor, I will miss the ability to put the kids on the floor with paint and not have a worry!!

St. Paddy's Day Parade

We have been attending the St. Paddy's Day Parade in Yarmouth for a few years now and I truly enjoy looking at the kids through the years,2009 (video only) and 2010.

Unfortunately we had to be reminded by the police several times to stay back but the older kids next to us kept blocking our crew from the candy, :-).

I attempted to get a picture of the kids and I but this is what I ended up with!!


Just a little excited!!


Waiting for candy.




Really Charlie, I just wanted a smile!!



My vote on my new camera is undecided. I love how compact it is but the delay is torture!! The SLR is sticking around for sure (which Mike will be very happy about)
