Just Paige....

As we get settled in our new town and seeing Luke no longer is in catholic school, we started going to Saturday night mass with the kids.  Luke is used to mass (which he told Paige is a fancy word for church) from going at school for three years but little Paige has little exposure to going to mass.  This became abundantly clear when mass began, the music started and the priest walked down the aisle and Paige got an excited look on her face and whispered to me “mommy, the king is here!”

 

Paige was having a playdate with a little friend, Lauren, from her new preschool.  The girls were upstairs pretending they were going to the beach.  When it was time to go, Lauren’s mom and I went upstairs.  The girls were in full on bikinis with beach towels…the whole thing.  As Lauren’s mom was trying to collect her things and find Lauren’s missing underwear she said “oh, Lauren you shouldn’t have taken your underwear off."  Paige looked at her and said, “That’s OK if Lauren sees my vagina because we are friends.”

I’m pretty sure we won’t be getting a call back to have another playdate with Lauren anytime soon.

What have we been up to?!?

This winter has been tough with all the snow but we have been doing our best to keep busy . Here is some of what we've been up to.....

 

Sleepovers with new friends.  Luke with his new neighbor friend Ben.  Paige was at Ben's sister's house for a sleepover so it worked out nice.  Here they are, acting like they have headaches -

 Daddy took No. 1 and No. 2 to a minor league hockey game and to see Chase play in the big rink.  Lots of fun -

 We then left Daddy and Ali at home and headed to a trampoline place with the five families & lunch after.  That place was a zoo but kids had fun and were able to work off some winter energy -

 We headed to the cape to have dinner with Grampy but not before we pit stopped at the indoor pool, so fun!

 Paige has been talking a science experiment class at her preschool on Monday afternoons.  She comes home with a project each week.  She loves showing us at night.  Here is her lava lamp she made one week -

 Lots of just hangin out -

 Mommy and Paige made monster cookies one day.  Surprise for Luke when he came home from school -

John boy -

I’m embarrassed to not have done this sooner but better late than never I suppose.  Introducing the newest member of our family, John.  John joined us in late January.  Apparently Daddy promised Luke a fish after we moved (luckily it wasn’t something bigger).  John was a novelty for about 2.3 minutes.  Then everyone was onto the next thing.  Now, I hate to say it, John is little more than another item on mommy’s “to do” list.  Feed John – check!  Change John’s water – check!  John lives in Luke’s room.  Hopefully John doesn’t have longevity in his genes as mommy is already over John too…sorry John!

Ali Three Months -

Three months old and the consensus around her is that she is such a good and sweet baby.  Easy girl.  We certainly appreciate that!!  She slept through the night the day I went back to work (seems she has a sense of humor too!) so on the first day I had to set my alarm, I could have slept in :(

 

Ali has been sleeping through the night on and off.  She either gets up at 4AM'ish or I wake her at 5:45AM before I leave for work.

 

Here are the latest of our sweet little lady -

 

Snoozing in her bouncy seat -   

 Chillaxing with big brother -

 Selfie among sisters -

 Love the sleepy pics -

 Playing with floppy -

 Snuggles on a cold Sunday morning -

 So alert -

 Sometimes Ali falls asleep on her play mat after kicking and playing a bit, third child - I think she realized probably no one is coming for her anyway :)

 More chillin' on the red chair -

First nap in my crib.  Love it :)

 So happy -

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa -

 We had a nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa.  They were able to come over school vacation and my first week back at work.  They watched all three kids a couple days and came out in once piece!

Happy V Day!

Happy Valentines Day!!! 

 

New Sleds!!

Basketball -

Luke picked basketball as his winter sport this year.  He played a few years back through the YMCA and liked it.  He loves it!!!
