Pirates

For some reason my kids have been continuing  to make me bring out what little creativity I have.  They are obsessed right now with Pirates after going to see Peter Pan and watching the Disney show Jake and The Neverland Pirates.  So I somehow came up with a way to make a ship (called Bucky - from the show I think) out of a beer box.  Complete with a sail and anchor.  Brilliant!  And the kids love it...even better!  Since they don't share anything, Chris had to make one for Angela.  Hers is named Buckaroo (they made that name up!).  Although he loves his ship, Richie is never happy for long.  Next he wanted his ship to have a "cannon shooter".  So far Chris has kept him happy with the marble run down the fireplace.....that works most of the time.  Luckily for me he called Babci to make him a treasure chest!!

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

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)

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!
