Hiking at Mt. Washington

A couple of weekends ago, we went up to New Hampshire to visit Jay's parents and take the girls on their first real hike. They did great and they loved it. These are pictures from the top of the "mountain" we hiked.

Fun with Alexeya and Nathaniel

This picture is from last Friday at Dug Pond in Natick - just hanging out at the beach.

Rebecca and her boyfriend.

This is from a walk Jay and the girls took to Alexeya and Nathaniel's house one evening.

Panama Girls

Thanks, Yara, for the beautiful dresses from Panama. We got a lot of compliments on them!

Lowell Spinners Baseball Game

Last Saturday (ok, so I'm a little behind on the posts), we went to the Lowell Spinners baseball game. This is a very minor league affiliate of the Red Sox. They had a Swampland children's play area with games and prizes and showed a movie on the field at the end of the game. We all had a great time, even though we didn't get home until after 11. Rebecca, who tried cotton candy for the first time that night, was awake the entire time.

Sparkle for President

Amanda's stuffed dog has launched a campaign for President (she was upset that no girl had ever been president - not to mention, no stuffed dog).

Sparkle's campaign platform:

everyone should be friends and no one should start a war for no reason.

She's got my vote!

So much for feminism

Rebecca and I were having a discussion (ok, disagreement) as to what she would wear today to a birthday party. She said "Mommy, you're not the boss".

Me: "I'm not?"

Rebecca: "No, Daddy is."

Emily, attempting to make me feel better: "Mommy, you can be the boss when Daddy's not home, like when he's at work."

What am I doing wrong?

Webkinz Town Meeting

I think the pink poodle might have suspended the writ of habeas corpus while no one was looking.
