Ethan's blue belt gradation

Tonight Ethan got his blue belt tonight at his karate graduation. I hope you enjoy the video.

Aidan's 4th b-day

Well my peanut is 4. He had a dinosaur b-day party. As you can see all the kids loved the cake. I can't believe 3 years ago my life changed and I saw a 1# 5 oz baby. Boy how things have changed.

Snow storm 1-12-2011

Well Ethan has been out of school for 2 days. We got around 22" of snow for one day. The boys were out at 9:oo am this morning playing in the snow.

The 2 pics of the snowplow truck were taken by Ethan w/ his new camera. He is doing a good job.

Children's Museum in Hartford

We took the last day of Christmas vacation and took the kids to the Children's Museum in Hartford, CT. They had a great time dressing up like archaeologists and air traffic controllers. Lily loved the toddler room. She got to play in this huge house with a kitchen. The boys also got to pretend they were turtles in a shell. They even got to do a weather report with a real blue screen. It was a beautiful day at 50 degrees. They all needed to get out of the house and run around. Now school starts up tomorrow. It was fun while it lasted.

Kids Christmas

Other than having a stomach bug going around the house for X-mas morning, we had a good day. Wanted to share some pics of the kids and how much they loved their gifts. It was funny to watch the boys help Lily open at the beginning and then once she figured it out she needed no ones help. Ethan got the Lego's and a Wii that he wanted and Aidan got Stinky the Garbage truck (which is in the pic above) . Lily got her own ride on toy and her doll that she wanted. Everyone but me was in bed by 8:30 pm. Hoping that the weather isn't going to be as bad as they claim (2 feet). I also hope all the throwing up is over.

Our tree

Here is our tree before the kids got up.

Polar Express at Ecotarium

We had a great time at the Ecotrium today. The kids sang songs and our 2 boys were the first kids to volunteer to sing. Aidan lead the group in Jingle Bells. They read the Polar Express story to us and then we got on the train and had a very cold ride around the grounds. After we went inside for cookies and hot cocoa. Then we got to see Santa. Aidan went right up to him and told him what he wanted and Ethan sweet talked him. Lily stood in the back looking at him. Matt took her up to him and she ran back to me. She wouldn't get on his lap or let him touch her. I got one quick picture and that was it. 6 more days to go and I can't wait to see their faces. Aidan will be so fun this year and Lily won't know what to do with herself. Ethan has lots of questions about Santa, but swears he will always believe.
