Player of the game

Jack was awarded player if the game this weekend in the Barnstable A Tournament. It was not easy to beat these A teams, but our team held their own and played well to challenge their opponents. Jack got a goal to tie our first game with 3 seconds left!

2013 Blizzard

Well, it was inevitable, that we would lose power during this snow storm.  We got about 14 inches of snow.  The house was down to 63 degrees which meant sweater, bathrobe and scarf for me, but not the kids!  They were running around the house in t-shirts and shorts!

 Next, it was time to hit the snow!  We haven't seen this much snow in years!

 Jack and Matthew tried to build tunnels like they did in the snowstorm of 2005.  However, they are a lot bigger now than they were then.....lol.....needless to say they were unsuccessful.

 That night we kept warm by the fire playing games, while the little ones frolicked around the fire together.

 POWER!!!!...........only to go out an hour later!  Booooo!

 By morning the house was at 51 degrees and we were running out of wood.  They were saying it could be days before power was restored.

Thank goodness TT took us all in.  The kids had fun in the snow together and it was so nice to be warm for a change.

 Nani and Grampa crashed there too

Literally!

Luckily, our power came back on that afternoon and we all could go back to our houses.  Whew!

Molly's First Chapter Book

She has been practicing all year to be able to read a real chapter book. Finally, the time has come and she is already on chapter 5! She is so proud of herself! Great job Molly!

Hollywood Studios

Once again we entered the park and headed straight for our favorite fast rides.  Shawn had his fast pass for Tower of Terror from last time and was finally tall enough, but said he was not ready to ride.  He came inside with us though, and watched the movie.  That was enough for him.

Pa Fredo went on both Tower and Rocking Roller Coaster......I think once was enough for him!

Shawn found other things to do......he met an army guy.

Found a Power Ranger

And best of all, went shopping for new clothes!  He must have tried on 7 sweatshirts before choosing this one. He LOVES to try on clothes!

 Time for lunch....

 and a quick power nap!

 Not Molly....

 Jack was feeling a lot better.

But Matthew started to feel queasy, but was a trooper and made it through the day.

 Finally it was time for the Buzz Lightyear ride. 

However, we all enjoyed the Star Tours ride.  Our favorite family ride of the day.  Shawn loved that he was included with everyone and missed the kids when they went on the big rides. 

It was a whirlwind, but a great ending to an unbelieveable week!

 

BYE FLORIDA!!!

 

 We're exhausted!

THANK YOU PA FREDO!!!!!!!

Disney Here we come!

Jack and Matthew told Molly and Shawn instead of going to the airport, we were heading to Disney!!! 

Goofy and silly the whole way there!

 

It was a long car ride, but when they saw the Disney signs they could hardly hold their excitement.

We had no idea it was Pa Fredo's first time!!!  We got him a special button and watched him take it all in.

We even put him to work pushing the stroller to get the whole experience.

Straight to Space Mountain for Matthew, Jack and Molly.

And straight to Buzz Lightyear for Shawnie!

 

Unfortunately, we had to end our night early......poor Jack got sick all over the park.  When we left it was only Matthew and Shawn who would pose for a picture by the castle.  Molly was too tired in the stroller to get out.
