Day 18: Zip Trip!

Boston's Fox 25 Morning News goes out every Friday and does what they call "Zip Trips". They go to different zip codes (cities and towns) in Massachusetts and broadcast live. We got up at 5am and went down the street to the Music Hall to watch the broadcast. So Fun! They kids (and myself) got on TV a few times and we got the sign they made autographed! The news anchors were super nice!
Here is Sean with VB.
And Caitlin with Kim Carrigan!

Day 17: Innocent Sean

It has been so hot here this week that we have been spending a lot of time inside with the air conditioner. Today we went outside for a while in the afternoon to eat freeze pops and draw with chalk. WELL, the heat took a toll on both of the kids, not to mention myself. :-)
Here is Sean sitting on the couch with his innocent look....hehehe.......
..............here is Caitlin crying because he took her "binky" away 3 seconds later. Poor baby is so hot and aggravated.

Day 16: Visiting the Grandparents!

We went down to Salem Mass last night to visit with my parents for a bit. The kiddos stayed with Granny while Steve and I went next door to have a drink and appetizers.....very nice!
Here is Sean with Grampa....
......and Caitlin with Granny!

Day 15: AGAIN!

Once again , I forgot to take pics until it was time for bed. At least I caught them before they actually fell asleep this time!
Sean in his Batman Jammies!

Caitlin, very bothered by the fact that I am flashing the camera in her face while she's trying to get to sleep.

Day 14: Tubbie Time!

Another super hot day today! I was even too hot to bring the kids outside to play in the pool. We played inside with blocks and cars and even put on some temporary tattoos! After dinner it was definately time for a bath! They take a bath together and today they played so well in there. I think the water helped keep them nice and cool for a bit.
Sean is starting to put his face and head under the water and he loves pouring water on his sister's head! I love this smile!
Caitlin was trying to copy her big brother by putting her face in the water too. She fought me to get out so I let her stay in the tub until all of the ater drained out.....

Day 13: Doh!

I completely forgot to take pictures today! I had to run out to the car and get the camera at 10:00pm and take pictures of them while they were sleeping.
Except Sean was not asleep, but pretended he was when I opened the door. :-)
Can you tell we had another busy weekend?? Haha!

Day 12: Beach Day!

We spent some time at the beach today! It was a hot one!
Here is Sean playing at the edge of the water. He likes to jump over the waves as they crash on the shore.
It was high tide so Caitlin spent most of the time playing in the sand. She loved it!

Day 11: Hanging Out

Another rainy morning and we hung in the house most of the day.
Sean, dressed in his pirate costume!

We had Alex come over to babysit. Both of the kids absolutely adore her!

Day 10: Cut & Glue

Another artsy day in our house today! I pulled out all of the collage materials and the kids went to town! Their creations were great and they really took their time getting it just right.
Sean loves to cut and glue. He had been asking to do this all morning.
Caitlin isn't exactly in the sharing mood in this one. She is hoarding the scissors from the other kids.

Day 9: Painting!

Today was a very busy day for us. We had a lot of children here to play with and things were going nonstop all morning. BUT, when I broke out the paints all the kids were quiet and amused, not to mention very artistic!
Sean LOVES to paint. He would prefer to use his fingers and hands, but he takes his time and uses all different colors. He's kind of a perfectionist.....he's so sweet.

While Sean will apply paint to his entire body if given the chance, Caitlin won't....yet! She uses the paintbrush and is very careful not to get it on anything but her paper.

Day 8: Goofy Kids!

The rain is coming down outside and the kids were being about as silly as can be. It was actually pretty nice to stay in and hang out this morning. We watched Tom & Jerry, colored, played with the barn and farm animals and read The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Sean got this new "muscle" shirt for his birthday and found it in his drawer today. He loved showing it off....with his muscles of course! :-)

Caitlin was very cute with her hair pulled back into little tiny braids.....but she wasn't in the mood to pose this morning. She was very busy with the farm animals. She finally looked up at me when I asked to see her teeth! Haha!

Day 7: Honey Nut Cheerios!

What a busy weekend to recover from! Both kids were still exhausted this morning eating their breakfast.
Sean has "Tired Boy" written all over his face in this one.

The look on her face should have given me some indication as to how the day was going to go.....can you see it in her eyes???

Day 6: Pooped Out!

We had a crazy busy day! Started out with Caitlin and I going to a bridal shower and Sean going with Sonya for the day. Then swimming at Nikki's pool, home for a few minutes than Fudrucker's and Dairy Queen. ALL of this and I forgot to bring my camera! By the time I remembered to take pics, this is what I got.
A very awkward picture of my tired Sean watching Spongebob before bed.

And Caitlin already passed out in her crib.
Hahaha!

Day 5: Sleepy Heads

Whoa it's a hot one today!! We had a very busy morning with Mommy and Sean going to karate and then shopping. Caitlin and Daddy spent some time together as well. We got down to a late nap. Here are the sleepy heads.
Sean still sucks his thumb when he goes to sleep and he needs his lovey, "Monkey". He's so cute!

Although Cailtin is sweating she still won't let go of her blankies either. I think she is so cute in this one. Where's her halo??

Day 4: Fruit Cups!

We spent the entire morning outside playing in the kiddie pool. It is a beautiful, HOT day and the kids had a blast playing in the water. Snack time was almost as much of a hit as the water play!We had fruit cups with peaches, strawberriers and banana...YUMMY!
Sean didn't even bother to wipe the water off his face before digging in.

Little Miss Independant wanted to do it all by herself!

Day 3: Piggy Toes!

I have to admit, feet really gross me out. They are dirty, stinky and just all around UGLY! However, there is something about baby feet and toes that just make me wanna eat them up!

Sean's toes are really skinny and his second toe is longer than his big toe. I just think they are so cute! Although, he's past the "eating them up" stage, I still love them! This is how his feet were crossed while he watched Max and Ruby this morning.

Caitlin's piggies on the other hand! :-) I painted her toes this morning. She gets a kick out of it. This is what she does when she is relaxing with her blankie. She intertwines her toes with the blanket and sticks them through the holes! So cute!

Day 2: At The Park

Since the weather has been super nice we have been going to the park all week. I love how nice outside pictures look.

Here is Sean coming down the slide. He saw me coming with the camera and stopped himself so that he could pose. Haha!

Caitlin actually took my camera off the stroller and handed it to me while saying "cheese!" How could I resist??

Day 1: Swings!

Sean has always loved the swings. Now that he is learning to use a "Big Boy" swing he thinks he's pretty cool. This week he had learned how to swing like "Superman".....which is pretty appropriate given his obsession with superheros lately.

Caitlin is swing obsessed! That is the first thing she wants to do when we go to the park. I think my arms are about to fall off from pushing her! She loves the wind on her face and is starting to look up at the sky when she is swinging. As you will notice in the coming weeks, she is also perfecting the "cheesy" smile!
