Thursday Theater: Baseball!

My twins club got a block of seats to the Lowell Spinners game on Saturday. (The Spinners are a Single A affiliate for the Red Sox.) The kids love all of the music and activities that go on. I’m not so sure if they’re into the actual baseball stuff yet though LOL

Poor Orange

Mike ran something over with our car, Orange, yesterday. Upon applying the brakes to round a corner, he found it difficult to slow down. YIKES!

He made it home no problem, but decided we probably shouldn’t drive it any more. A quick cal to AAA and a tow truck arrived about an hour and a half later.

Bye bye Orange

Bye bye Orange

(Note the brake fluid pool in the driveway)

The kids were facinated by the tow truck, but very worried about Orange.

Thursday Theater: Pool Time!

I’ve put up a few photos of our new kiddie pool, but I figured I’d put some video up as well.

These were taken when we first put the pool up. The first video is the kids playing in it without water. The second is when there’s water in it.

…and you can see how much fun the nanny is too. At least… *I* think she is 😉

A Day at the Carnival

Our town celebrates the 4th of July all week! They have a carnival set up in the high school parking lot and lots of festivities (read: food) on the town common. Burke and Maggie had a wonderful time and enjoyed their very first carnival rides!

Long Paper

What do you get when mommy receives a package with lots of crumpled up paper?

Shadow kids!

The only thing I did was trace the kids. They did all the rest. (You might not be able to see the tracing unless you click the picture to make it larger.)

Fun with Fire … Trucks

My town’s Mom’s group took a tour of the safety building yesterday. I took all 3 kids down for the fun.

We started inside the bays – and to the delight of all 25 kids, one of the trucks was coming back from a call.

The Fire Truck is Backing in!

Then we went outside to watch the ladder truck’s ladder go up and down.

Then we went back inside to wait in line to go into the first truck.
