St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day on a Saturday meant I would finally have time to make corned beef and cabbage at home.  It came out great, but the real treat was the 2 loaves of homemade Irish Soda Bread.  Yum-o!  I hope to make this (somewhat) of a tradition for the kids.  Chris remembers his Mom doing it growing up.  In typical "my kids" fashion, their favorite part was the cabbage.  I agree, but never would have at 2 or 5.
Earlier in the day we took the kids for a bike ride along the Esplanade.  Richie is really getting good on his bike now that he can reach the pedals.  Another plus to his growth this year.  Then we hit our favorite "big kid" playground.  Who needs slides and swings when you can have zip lines and rock walls to climb.
Happy St. Patrick's Day friends and family!

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!
