Daisy finally uses her bed. I took this picture to send to Emma to wish her luck at her away field hockey game.

Every time Jon calls from work Lucy asks if he will hang her upside down when he gets home.

We got to spend a little time with “Roger” before sending him off to one of Chloe’s friends.

Megan and Chloe delivering Roger. Gosh, these kids are so funny. They were cracking up all the way up the driveway.

Few of my favorite parts of town.

Chloe’s new coat. It was finally cool enough to wear it this morning.

Little Detour

Lucy and I took a little detour on the way to Trader Joe’s this morning. We stopped at the farm so that Lucy could play with the goats and sheep. She also loves playing on the hay. The weather has been perfect this fall so it’s been wonderful doing so many outside things together.

Sunny September Day

Today is another gorgeous fall day. I spent most of it outside playing with Lucy while the others were at school.

Aislinn’s Wedding

I LOVE going to weddings!! Weddings and baby showers are my favorite “parties” to go to. It’s even more special when it’s someone you really care about. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.

She looked so beautiful and so happy!!

Me with the beautiful bride.

Priceless moments.

Apple Pie

The first thing Chloe said to me when she got off the bus yesterday was “please tell me you made an apple pie today”. I didn’t. So today I made her an apple pie.

This is my favorite apron. I wear it all the time. Jon bought it for me from Anthropologie last Christmas. It makes me feel like a modern day 50’s housewife. I like feeling like a modern day 50’s housewife, makes me happy (like clean closets)…….notice my black and white photos. 😉

My little helper is stealing apple slices out of the bowl.

Mmmmmmmmm Chloe is going to love this!!

Lucy and I went to the pumpkin patch last Friday to get our white pumpkin. She picked out 4 little pumpkins for her and her sisters.

Saturday I took this sweet girl out for lunch. I love any one on one time I get with them.

I love this guy 🙂

Hanging out with the girls Saturday night.

On Sunday we closed the pool. Always a sad day.

Lucy caught a frog!

Special day of shopping and lunch with Lucy.

It was a great week.

A Fall walk

Lucy and I have been going on little walks together this week. The air is getting crisp and the colors on the trees are starting to pop. Today, while we walked, she told me a story about Santa Claus and the elf. It looks like she is trying to rush these beautiful fall days.

Trying to organize, little by little

I have a LOOOOOOONG list of things that I need to get done around here. Today I started with the littlest project, oh well. At least I started. 🙂

My pretty scarves have a home. A little OCD maybe but I don’t care. This is my blog and I can put up whatever I want 🙂 A pretty basket of organized scarves makes me happy.

It’s not HGTV worthy but it looks so much better!!

Apple picking

Published on September 15, 2012September 18, 2012 by 7friarys1 Comment

Today was one of those perfect fall days. We had a morning full or errands and then an afternoon of apple picking and church. This is one of the first times that we went to church as a family of 6. Oh my God, Lucy was so stinkin cute sitting between Jon and I with her hands in the perfect prayer pose. I’m pretty sure that taking pictures of my kids is frowned upon in the Catholic Church so it’s one of those sweet little memories I will have to keep in my mind. I did get a lot at the apple orchard though.
