Mommy/Richie Day

Somehow my days home became known as "Mommy/Richie" days. I don't remember how it started, but we begin each morning with the question, "Mommy, what kind of day is it? A Dawn day, Mommy/Richie Day or School Day." Before Angela was born, we used to do fun things every Friday. Needless to say, I think I have a bit of a spoiled child now. When I was 9 months pregnant, I took him so many places. Probably part of my nesting....making sure I got it all in before I would have to lug two of them around. Well that time has come, and I think I can now do it.
So it is now Mommy/Richie/Angela days and we are back to having fun! Some pictures from our trip to the Aquarium. There was almost a disaster because Richie's favorite exhibit (the tank with the fish that look like Nemo) is closed. Sometimes I think it is the only reason he wants to go to the Aquarium. But he handled it well. We sat and ate our orange goldfish snacks staring at the empty tank talking about what could be wrong with the Nemo's. When Dawn took him to the Aquarium they didn't get home until well after I was home from work. She said she couldn't get him to leave that tank. Just another example of his OCD!

Yep, we can still have our special days!

Rich is still the one who calls the shots and the focus of most of my time and pictures!

Can you see the 2 turtles and the diver in the tank? We had the best view of the turtles getting fed this day!

Giggles!

Although Angela loves to smile (and does so ALL the time) she has been stingy with the belly laughs. Not this day!! She is totally a daddy's girl and he is the best at making her giggle. Enjoy - it is music to our ears.

Single Mom - missing Daddy

Since Chris was away again for work, we had our first Mommy/Richie/Angela days. It was a lot of work, but I did it! I guess I can handle 2 kids at once. Here are some pictures of our days so Chris can see what we did and know we missed him. We did lots of extra fun stuff because I was bribing Richie so he would go get a hair cut. Well it worked! He is finally not a shaggy dog and he didn't cry again. I am so glad the meltdowns during hair cuts are gone. That first one was brutal. I will never forget it. Some of our first smiles! (Unfortunately my camera memory card was full so this video got cut off)

Red Sox game with our pal Colton

Another fun baseball game and this one we invited Richie's best bud Colton.  We used to invite our friends and now we invite the kids friends.  Luckily Colton's parents are our friends as well so a good time was had by all.   Since the Red Sox were playing the Yankees, Rich wore the special shirt Babci made for him (half Red Sox half Yankees).  He always gets a lot of attention from it.  And this time Angela really got into the game more than usual.  She was so excited from the second we told her we were going to the game.  She insisted on wearing her Red Sox hat and shirt.  She cracked up everyone on the train because of her outfit and how she just kept yelling about the Red Sox.  Big Papi is her favorite player and she yelled his name the whole game.  Check out the video!
