Kitchen Curtains!

After almost a year and a half, I finally managed to make curtains for the kitchen windows! What picturesque windows ... I think curtain companies should come here to take their advertising photos!! 

Baby #4

It's for real!!! We're expecting again! Here's the first glimpse ... head is on the left, big belly on the right. The little line in between the two oval shapes is the baby's arm, and the legs are actually curled up at the bottom of his/her belly. Due date is September 12th! 

Ms. Q and Mr. U tie the knot!

Spencer's class had a wedding last week ... Ms. Q and Mr. U are now married, so they'll always be together in words! Spencer was selected to play the role of Mr. U! He did fabulous, although he appeared a bit overwhelmed at times! The room was filled with parents and a few grandparents, plus another class of students. Ms. Fagan was "Commander of the Dictionary", and the Best Letters were A and D.  

Fun With Mimi & Grumpers

Grumpers still working ... such a special treat for the boys! Great fun with the fresh falling snow today ... 3 or 4 inches of wet sticky white stuff! Even though I'm ready for spring, it sure was beautiful today.

Our Two Cuties

These pictures were taken down at Helene's. The boys were having a blast on the frozen pond ... Spencer would be brave enough to put on skates already. Bryce was quite content to be pushed around the ice on a folding chair, although had he not been vomiting for 2 days before this, he might have been just as brave as Spencer!  

It's a good thing he's soooooo cute!

Bryce was having a bit of fun with the squirt bottle! Can you hear that belly laugh? 

Last week's ice storm

Yes, this is ice on the inside of the windows ... think it's time for replacements? I'm at least trying to convince Shawn that it would be beneficial to get insulating blinds. And Grier thought our Wrentham house was cold! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Bryce!

Bryce's choo choo train cake made by Mommy & Aunt Julie ... fully edible, except for the signs borrowed from the train set to cover up Caz's indulgence. New train quilt from Mimi! Everyone was jealous of this one! A little help making the cake from our chocolate lover! 

Snow ... Finally!

Even enough for shovels ... snowsuits ... and snow angels!  

More Christmas Photos

Another breakfast cookie from Aunt Julie! Our Christmas Card wall this year Spencer requested I take this photo for the blog ... I think he needs to work on his smile before it becomes a real album cover! 

Christmas Morning

Breakfast! I think the quote was actually, "That's as big as I wanted it to be. I want to eat that." Santa packaged up Bryce's requested Chocolate Chip Cookie in a large sized pizza box. I think he cooked in on a pizza stone, and it was quite delicious ... especially for a 6 am breakfast! Spencer's new drums!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The boys in action ... how convenient that we now have 2 sets of drum sticks! I'm not sure why Santa forgot our Tylenol ... 

Getting Ready For Santa

Putting out the reindeer food, which consists of glitter for the reindeer to see and oats for them to eat while Santa is busy ... Checking to make sure the flue is open ... Snack table with notes ... and a book open to a page where Santa's pants are being pulled down by a monkey. The boys think this page is so funny, so they wanted to be sure Santa laughed at this page as well! 

Only In Fremont, NH

Where else can Santa be escorted by the town fire/police department down every street in town?Spencer & Bryce are glad Santa remembers where we live! Again, only in Fremont NH, does our gingerbread house include fruit snack trucks driving to the "snowmen show" in the front yard: featuring a tamborine, banjo, and 2 snowman band. Notice the teddy graham bears in the audience. Daddy's train car and Bryce's jelly belly wood pile on the side of the house.
