BK Roadtrip

Due to all the power outages from the storm, we had to travel to Amesbury, MA to find a BK that was open. (The kids really wanted BK and as you can see, we had to wait and wait for our lunch... lots of places were closed so it was extra busy.)

Bad News Bears!

Last night there was a massive wind storm. We woke up this morning to hear that an entire block was destroyed in a fire at Hampton Beach. Here are a few shots of us looking around town at the damage and HUGE ocean waves.

Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of Love!

Maddie's Daisy troop made LOTS of Valentine's for a local elderly center. I was so proud of the girl's!

100 Days!

Maddie's school celebrated being in school for 100 days! The other photo is of a piece of art work that she made in art class... a lovely flower.

Pizza Maker Connor making his OWN pizza for dinner!;)

While at the Natick Mall, Maddie and Sophie had mad cash and GC to blow through. Connor wanted to take a ride in the elevator so we could get a family shot in the ceiling mirror. Good stuff! :]

Build a Bear OR Wash a Bear...

While at the Natick Mall, Toby had a GC to the Build a Bear Workshop. His favorite thing in that store is the bear washer. He spent 99% of his time there:)

LEGOS!

As you remember, back in January the Poirier's came down and we went to the Natick Mall. Connor had a GC to the Lego Store. Look closely at the gray lego photo and you will see Connor's face pearing back at you;)

Ba da ba da da.... I'm lovin' it!

We took the kiddos to Micky D's after school one day as a special treat. They were ALL smiles! :)

Gingerbread Houses, and Pizza and Lions... Oh MY!

Maddie's friend, Hayden, invited us over to make gingerbread houses, lunch and playtime. The kids had a really fun time and I drooled over their home. I am so in love with this place!

Chop Chop:)

At the Santa Breakfast there was some face painting. Maddie got eye glitter {WOW!} and Toby got a mean witch. Shocking, I know:)

Christmas revisited,

I just downloaded some photos off my point and shoot and wanted to share a few even though they are a little old. Here are Maddie and Toby at Maddie's school Santa Breakfast. The kids had fun snacking, meeting Santa, shopping for Tom and I and singing carols.

Two of a Kind!

Here are my two babies. Toby just found out that he will need glasses, too. Tom popped the lenses out of an old pair of Maddie's glasses and we are having Toby practice wearing them until his glasses are ready. (These frames that Toby is wearing are the same frames that HIS glasses will be. SO CUTE! )

Musical Girl

Maddie has been learning in her music class how to write music. She raced home Thursday, grabbed some paper, and wrote out this music. Then she grabbed her guitar and played the song for me. I am so proud of my musical girl! She says she wants to be a music teacher when she grows up:)

SPIDEY SIGHTING: NEWS AT 11!!

Marshmallow Boy on the loose... $50 for anyone who knows his where a bouts!

Goodbye Peace....

... or at least peace earrings. Well, here it is! The BAD earring that caused the trauma. Little did I know when I took a photo of her ear in the morning that in that very same day we would end up in the ER because of it.

My finger got caught on it while I was putting on her hat and it pulled the small tubular backing into her earring hole. It instantly swelled and I couldn't get it out. At the ER they numbed her ear and removed it... lots of blood, lots of screaming.... no more earrings! Maddie says maybe she will get her ears pierced again when she is a teenager.

Saturday:)

Last Saturday we had a nice quiet family day... well, that is until Maddie's ear trauma, but that's another story. Here is Maddie putting together an album of photos from her and Sophie's trip to AG Store. And of couse my bedazzled Toby;)

Maddie's Outer space week:

Maddie had a lot of fun at school last week. She learned all about space and the planets. Here she is modeling her space hat (AKA Bob Marley hair). Her head is the sun and each strip that came off it had a planet and then a rocket.

ROCK STARS

Here we all are rocking out to Guitar Hero. It was my first time on the drums. I got 92% (on beginner-easy.)

Our American Girls

Here we are at the AG store with Sophie, Connor, Eric and Michelle. The girls were so excited and had fun picking out just the right thing with their money.

The photo of Eric cracks me up. The way the boy beside him is looking at him and trying to figure out why he's holding a doll.

Just BEachy:)

The other day, while Maddie was at school, the boys and I took a walk on the beach. Toby threw "pebbles". So cute.
