Jack and Matthew's Canal Trip

The boys picked a perfect day to visit the canal. We even got to see a trash train go over the train bridge. It is rare to see this bridge in action, so we were lucky.

Molly's Birthday Weekend

To celebrate Molly's fourth birthday, she really wanted to have a preschool party with some of her new friends. They were all really cute and had a fun time playing together.




On Saturday we had our family party with just a few friends. What fun the kids all had, and how lucky were we to have such a nice day!







When everyone left Molly and Avery were inseparable! Jack won the dirtiest feet contest HANDS DOWN!


And poor Shawn who fell asleep on Chris's lap outside around 4:30 slept all night long. He awoke in the morning in his stained shirt and ice cream still on his face.


On Molly's actual birthday we laid low recovering from all the excitement and headed to the beach in the afternoon. Shawn gave Molly a kite for her birthday (and of course bought one for himself.) Everyone had fun flying them.
Molly liked it so much she kept it in hand as she played in the sand.

Shawn watched his brothers and got the hang of it real fast.


We should know by now to bring baithing suits for the crazy kids who ALWAYS want to go for a swim.
It was freezing!

What a great weekend with friends and family! Thanks everyone for making Molly's birthday so special. :)

Quiet and Nice Mother's Day

After a morning of baseball and a few errands it was nice to come home and relax on the deck on my new patio furniture. The one perk of having your birthday AND Mother's Day combined is you get one big gift!! I could have sat there all afternoon watching the kids play in the yard. I think I have found my new favorite spot!
As usual, we ended yet another Sunday with Funny Videos. Only this time I was quite popular to sit next to on the couch. Gotta live it up, someday I'll be wishing for someone to sit next to me!
