Happy Mother’s Day! Kick back, relax….maybe go get that copy of 50 Shades of Gray. My hairdresser said I must read it. Well, how can I ignore that kind of endorsement? We are going to brunch at my Mother-in-Law’s house and then I am going to pick out a new smartphone. I am switching teams [...]
On Monday morning at 3:30 am, Ryan woke us up claiming that he couldn’t sleep. I grouchily fell back to sleep and Grant ended up staying up with him until 4:30 am. Ryan fell asleep on the couch and slept until 5:30 am, at which time, he ran into our room and announced, “Daddy is [...]
We had a great time at the opening of Disney on Ice Mickey and Minnie’s Magical Adventure this past Thursday evening at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. The show was wonderful – great costumes, great scenes that went off without a hitch and add the element of some amazing figure skating to the excitement [...]
Each year the PTA hosts the Easter Bunny Breakfast at the kid’s grade school. We had a yummy breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausages, donuts and pastries. There are lot of things to keep the kids busy after breakfast, like raffles, demonstrations and a kid’s fair. At the kid’s fair, local businesses with products and services [...]
I should have listened to that inner voice that said to me. “He’s not ready for a sleepover.” Well, I did, sort of. I didn’t let my seven-year-old Ryan go to someone else’s house for the night, but I did allow him have a friend sleep over here. Big mistake. James, who is ten, slept [...]
“You define a good flight by negatives: you didn’t get hijacked, you didn’t crash, you didn’t throw up, you weren’t late, you weren’t nauseated by the food. So you are grateful.”— Paul Theroux I admit as I sat watching the Walt Disney World parks DVD or the first time, I got that twinge of anxiety. [...]
James trumpet teacher told him he needed a mute for his trumpet. When Grant took him to the music store to pick one up, he went into sticker shock. $45 for a trumpet mute! Yikes! So he went online and learned how to make one out of the plastic remains of our Renuzit air freshener [...]
Tears welled up in Ryan’s eyes as he opened his mouth to reveal a small tooth hanging by a thread. Ryan tends to be dramatic, so I’m not sure how much pain he is really in. Part of me wants to reach in and start wiggling it and pull it out myself, but I think [...]
This is our very first family Christmas Card ever! (Thanks to Shutterfly for the inspiration, Oh, you’ll know why it is our first when you check out our past family photo disasters!) The funniest thing about this card? We are standing in front of Grant’s cousin Michelle’s nursery – Lakeview Nursery, look at all those [...]
Each year Grant’s mom treats our family to the Reagle Players Christmas show in Waltham, MA. The show changes only slightly from year to year, but after 8 years it is a tradition that we look forward to and enjoy as a family. For me, it really starts to feel like Christmas when we see [...]
