Here we go….

Construction has begun.   Ethan was thrilled to see some equipment arrive this week.  Okay, I guess we were all pretty happy to see this finally get started!   We moved 12 trees or large plants this weekend.  We pulled 2 trees out with dad’s truck and replanted them away from the house, the others we had to dig out and move.  I hope they make it! Please grow Camelia! Replanting.  Good thing it wasn’t hot out this weekend…. HA!!! The boys were thrilled because we told them they could draw on their walls since they are coming down.  They went to town with the markers!   Matthew wants to make holes in his, but I told him to wait until the day before they have to come down.  Not quite ready for that mess…

Week one down…. can’t wait to see what week two will bring!

SUMMER FUN WITH BEST FRIENDS

 

 

Alyssa had Erin, Maddie, and Danielle over for a day of summer fun!!!!   The girls had so much fun and were happy to be all together again.   Danielle moved to Florida last year and was up visiting for a few days.  They picked up right where they left off!

It started with a shaving cream war and ended with a fun time in the pool!

Six Flags New England!

 

Took the kids to Six Flags yesterday with Auntie Auntie and Ryan.   Alyssa and Matthew spent most of their time with Ryan going on the big rides while Kristen and I chased Ethan around on the little rides.  Everyone had a blast!
