Skiing in Maine with friends

Always a great weekend when you mix good friends, Maine and some SNOW!  Who know I would be begging for snow.  It seems strange, but to live in New England and get no snow feels so odd.  Especially since I have a son who LOVES skiing!  Richie took a 2 hour lesson with Maddie at Shawnee Peak on Friday and then skied the afternoon with Chris.  We were so excited to see Maddie on skies and she actually didn't hate it.  It didn't hurt that the mountain was empty so the kids each had private lessons. Then all the boys got in the car early Saturday morning to head to Sunday River.  Richie loves Sunday River ski school since spending two days there last year.  He was excited to start the day on the green team which meant going on the lifts (and the Gondola) all day.  His instructor said he did great and does lots of french fries with less and less pizza (kiddie ski terms based on the direction of their skies).  Check out those french fries in the pic below!  He was so tired at the end of the day he fell asleep with his hand in the bag of Cheetos.
While the boys skied the girls stayed back at the B&B for some snow play time.  We even built a snow woman complete with a carrot nose and sticks for arms.  Well that is until the dogs got at her.  Angela's favorite part was her first babysitting job.  She loved little Nate and making him laugh. 
We are so very lucky!

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

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!

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)
