Molly - "I can't wait until I am seven, I can get my ears pierced and I get to eat a chip!"

Mama - "What chip?"

Molly - "You know........at church."

Surprise Bruins Game!!

Jack was unsuspecting when Chris asked him to go for a quick ride to Home Depot. You'd think he would be suspicious when they got on the highway or went over the bridge......not a chance! Jack yelled out "bridge" and proceeded to look for boats as usual.
Chris stopped in Plymouth for gas.........still not a question.
Eventually, Jack leaned over and fell asleep for a bit. When he woke up, they were in the parking lot of Not Your Average Joe's. He asked if they were at Home Depot, which Chris answered, "No, I thought you said you were hungry, let's get some thing to eat." Still not a question, which was so interesting since when they left I was making dinner. I even asked Jack what he wanted baked potato or mashed, which he enthusiastically said "mashed, it's my favorite!" I replied, "Ok, just for you Jack."
When he left he was dressed in backyard clothes, so Chris handed him a pair of jeans and said, "Here put these on." Jack got dressed in the car and they went in. I can't believe they ate dinner together and he never questioned anything!?
Even when they approached Boston and could see the buildings, he asked, "Is that Boston?" Which Chris replied, "I think so. I guess I didn't realize how close we were going to be to it." Jack even commented, "Wow, Grammie came all the way down to visit, and now we're almost at her house." Still no question as to where they were going. He still assumed he was going to Home Depot.
They went in the tunnel and turned off towards the Fleet Center, which Jack asked, "Is this the same tunnel we usually go in? It seems extra long."
It wasn't until they were at a red light right in front of the Fleet Center that Chris reached in the back seat and gave Jack his Bruin's shirt. He said, "You might want to put this on." Jack finally realized what was going on and was completely shocked. He then said, "Wait aren't they playing the Sharks tonight?" (His other favorite team besides the Bruins) Chris said he was beaming!!! Thanks so much Uncle Scot and Auntie Kristen!! :)

Just Some Cute Soccer Pics.....

When I said, now do a pose, Shawn immediately posed like a Power Ranger and Molly went to her old stand by........classic!

Blog Catch Up

We have been so busy since school has started settling into a new routine. Matthew and Jack are in full swing playing many exciting hockey games. They play together Jack at center and Mastthew as wing. Their line is playing really well.

Molly is loving school and reading already!!! She is excited to do her homework and looks for extra credit. She has inspired Shawn to learn to read too. He enjoys doing "homework" too.

Today Charlie came over for a playdate and Shawn was so happy to have someone to play with while everyone was at school. They pretended to be power rangers.......

...........rode bikes to the field........

...ran down our favorite hill......

......and scooted home.....

I thought it was nice that the two of them worked out who would ride the pink bike all by themselves. They took turns.

Seaside Festival

After a morning of hockey and soccer games we decided to venture out and enjoy such a beautiful day. We ended up at the Seaside Festival in Yarmouth. There were so many things to do and look at.There were even a few rides.

Matthew and Jack tried to ride the bull.

It was a lot harder than it looked. Meanwhile Molly and Shawn were transformed into Butterfly Girl........

......and Spider Man!

Look Who Started Hockey!

They are both so excited to be on the ice like Jack and Matthew. Shawn has been asking many questions leading up to this day. "Am I allowed to check?" "Am I going to be offense?" I hope he is not disappointed that pucks will not be given out for a while..ha, ha.Molly on the other hand, seems to take it a day at a time. Looking forward to each practice with Dada as the coach. Their demeanor is obvious in this photo.
