"Boo Boo"

We, like many families, have the ritual of kissing scrapes and cuts or "boo boo's" as they are called in our house. Paige fell last weekend and scraped her knees a bit. She milked this most of the week. She walks up to one of us saying "boo boo hurts" and won't walk away until both knees have been sufficently kissed. It is very cute. Sometimes she will also kiss them herself. She will kiss Luke's boo boos too, she thinks it is a game.

Jay was touching up some of the walls the other day. Paige walks into our bedroom, sees the spot and says "BOO BOO" and walks over and kisses the wall.

Duck...Duck...Goose...

We(minus daddy..poor daddy was working) headed into Boston yesterday and met up with auntie Kelly and cousins Chase and Madison for a fun afternoon. We did the Boston Common, Boston Garden, Swan Boats, saw lots of swans, met up with Papa for a millisecond, chased the pigions (Luke), pointed out countless ducks (Paige), sat in the park and had pizza from a takeout place on Charles Street, posed with the "make way for ducklings" ducklings, road the carasoul, supported the street vendors with a frosty treat, people watched and much much more! We all had lots of fun!

Beach Day!!

We had our friends from up north down for the day. We did the beach and a BBQ at our house after. We had great beach weather which was nice. The kids loved it! Lots of playing in the sand and water for the older ones for sure. When we got back to our place, everyone continued the fun by playing in the "pool" and swingset. A full day of beach + pool + swingset + lots of playing = 10 tired kiddos!

The cutest, Luke was SO excited this morning when he woke up and learned that all his friends were coming to our house. He went around and set bowls out for everyone so they could have a snack when they arrived. He had specific places for each of them to sit, it was too cute -
