Busy Weekend in the Berkshires

We went to the Berkshires to celebrate Amber's 1st Communion and Mike and Cindi's 30th Wedding Anniversary! It was a busy and very fun weekend. The kids had a blast dancing all night at the party. Maddie and JP spent half the night at the DJ telling him what to play. It was funny. JP got out in the middle of the circle and did his break dance moves, I wish I had been able to get it on video, so cute. Maddie requested Justin Beiber Baby for Mike & Cindi when they cut the cake, probably not the song they would have chosen.

Spring Sports

It is going to be a VERY busy spring!! Maddie is playing softball and soccer, she has had a few practices and 2 softball games already, she has done really well. the coach's pitch and Maddie has hit the ball each time without needing a T. She is really enjoying it and getting into the cheering on the sidelines, even getting a bit competitive!!

Maddie had her 1st spring soccer game and she got her 1st goal!!! Very exciting since she played in the fall and even though she did well she never got a goal. It was great for her to get out there and get one first game back.

First Tooth Lost!

Maddie lost her 1st tooth, she pulled it out at school. She had 4 teeth loose at the same time, it was the bottom right one that fell out first. The tooth fairy gave here a gold $1 coin, it was my dentists idea, she said her kids loved the dollar coins, so did Maddie. The others should be falling out soon.

Halloween 2010

We had a fun Halloween! The kids are so into it! Chucko, Adrienne and Frankie came over and went out with us. We had a fun time in the neighborhood, even had some adult trick or treating at Janet's house (thanks for the beverages :-) ) We ran out of candy 3 times, thanks to Jen for going to her house to get more candy and then to the store and then we even brought some back from Larry's house when we went to visit over there. Our neighbor Jen even gave us some extra too! The kids didn't stop, even after we shut the lights out they still knocked on the door, crazy!! Christine brought the dogs over in their costumes and stayed at the house to give out candy so Jamie could come join us. The dogs were so cute as a blow fish and submarine. Now I will be gorging on candy for a week, I have NO willpower ha-ha.

Apple Picking

Finally got out to go apple picking. Christine came with me and the kids, Jamie had softball in the morning, so we went. It was a really nice fall day. The kids had fun. We got a huge bag of apples, so Maddie and JP think we will be making apple pie, apple cider, apple turnovers, apple cake, and anything else they think can be made with apples ha-ha. There was a playground where JP spent the end of the trip while we finished picking out pumpkins, he picked his and headed right over to the sand box. While we were enjoying some apple cider, apple crisp and pumpkin muffins Madeline asked me to take a video of her, this is what I got....

Summer Vacation - Lake Sebago Maine

We weren't able to get everyone coordinated to go back to the lake house in NH that we went to last year, but we were able to get away for a few long weekends. We went to Point Sebago in Maine, it was great. They have camp for the kids during the day so we were able to have a few hours by ourselves and lots of activities to do. We rented a boat one day with a tube, the girls loved it, JP not so much. It is fun to go on vacation with the Zitomer's since the kids are the same age and play well together (most of the time ha-ha).
