Apple picking and the Chowda Fest

Since we are going to be busy for the next couple of weekends, we had to get our apple picking in early.  Although it was earlier than usual it was still September. You would never know it but it was SO HOT!!  You can see we all had shorts and t-shirts on, but you can't see that we were still sweating.  Regardless of the weather, we still had a great time.   It helps that we are now professional apple pickers with the kids.  We went to Russell Orchards and brought the wagon so we could see it all.  We picked 2 bags of apples even though the kids (as usual) ate more than they picked.  After apple picking we took the hay ride and saw all of the farm animals they had.  But my favorite part will always be the cider and donuts! 
Since we were in Ipswich, we hit the Chowda Fest after apple picking.  It was along the riverwalk and although HOT out, we had so much fun.  They had a ton of games and prizes for the kids and delicious clam chowder for the adults. 
After such a busy day, the kids fell right to sleep in the car.  We took advantage of this time to check out some houses in Ispwich.  The houses were huge and gorgeous and the town is adorable, but I think too far from Boston from us.  Keep looking.....

Single Mom - missing Daddy

Image
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)

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.

Red Sox game with our pal Colton

Image
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!
