fun in the rain

I just have to say that I love my kids so much, and I LOVE being a mom. Motherhood gets better and better as my kids get older and become my little buddies. The other day we were loading up to get in the car and Cohen ran right out into the rain and just laughed and laughed, so Halle and I joined him. I haven't enjoyed the rain so much since I was a kid. Children remind you to enjoy the little things along the way. Love them!

Disney on Ice

We are a little behind on blogging, but I had to quickly post how fun it was to take Halle to Disney on Ice. She dressed up like a princess with her cousins and had the time of her life. She has decided that she is too old for tinkerbell and just wants to be snow white now. Cohen also loved the show. I was a little worried about taking him, but his eyes were glued to the show and he clapped the whole time.

15 years ago...

15 years ago I went to my first concert with some neighborhood girls and my mother (who wore ear plugs the whole time). Yes, New Kids on the Block were my passion. I had all the paraphernalia, sleeping bags, posters, music videos, etc. Then about 10 years ago, when I was in high school my friends and I brought New Kids back to our basements and we secretly became fans again memorizing their music videos and blasting the music while we dragged State street. Well last night we revisited the passion yet again at the NKOTB concert. The music was great and we had a ton of fun pretending we were young again, but I have to admit that the kids on the block are a little old...and with the exception of Joey...a little beyond their time...but I think once you are a new kids fan, there is no turning back. Thanks Melissa! So fun!

I think we covered it...

Wow what a busy, fun, exhausting Halloween week we just had. I must say this year tops the chart as far as getting "into the holiday spirit" goes. We carved pumpkins, made halloween sugar cookies, had a party at her preschool, attended the halloween reading group at the library, visited the witches at Gardner Village, and then did the whole trick or treating thing. I am tired... halle had a blast. She passed out last night in her bed with a handful of m&ms in her hand and has also decided on her Halloween costume for next year. Cohen didn't quite get it, but he was an adorable fat little ducky and he slowly waddled from house to house trick or treating. All in all, I think we covered Halloween. Children really bring back the majic of Holidays.
