We finally had the floors put in yesterday. Image

And some after:

Jon and his father repainted the ceiling, the walls and the wood work but I didn’t get any pictures of them doing that. 🙂 It was worth living in the mess for 3 days. I LOVE them!!! I still have some pictures to hang up and decorating to do but at least this is finished!

 

Farm Stand

One of my favorite places in this town is this little farm stand on the side of the road. We stop here a couple times a week in late summer. The setting of the place is gorgeous!! Last night I needed tomatoes for my dinner so we drove by and sure enough he had a couple of baskets full of tomatoes. Lucy dropped the money into the red lock box and off we went! Image

The Desmarais Girls

The girls got to spend a couple of days with Kate and Riley this week. Tracey took Megan and Kate on a school shopping trip to the Natick Mall.ImageImage

Chloe and Riley stayed with me and played American Girls for about 24 hours straight!

Image

Even online!!

Image

Image

I can’t believe how big these girls are getting!! They’ve been friends since they were a year old!! I love the fact that even though they live almost 2 hours away from each other they remain close friends!!

Oh and here is Lucy. This is a picture she made of me. Notice the flower in my hair.

Jon

Having Jon home on vacation is exhausting!! We have been going nonstop since he’s been home. We’ve been to the beach a bunch of times, Maine, Provincetown, Newport, RI, parties, Gillette Stadium, school shopping at the mall and outlets a couple of times and out to eat too many times!! My legs and my credit card are exhausted. BUT he has to go back to work on Monday and I am going to miss him. No seriously, I LOVE having him around. He helps with the kids and loves to cook so that’s been a huge plus! I’ve been slacking on the housework because we’re never around and if we are, I’m too tired to do anything. I guess I can start on the cleaning and laundry on Monday. I can’t wait until he has another week off. Image

My favorite day of the summer

We made it to the end of Massachusetts with the girls this summer. This was something Chloe wanted to do all year. We started out at a beach in Sandwich and decided to get in the car and keep driving. We had a great dinner on the pier and then went to the other side of town to watch the sunset. This was my favorite day of the summer so far!

Chloe’s Christmas in August party

Chloe decided to go with a Christmas themed birthday party this year. I had so much fun with this one. It was probably the easiest party all season. I had all the decorations in the attic already. I made a turkey with all the sides instead of having Jon stand at the grill and we had Christmas music playing throughout the house. It was so much fun!!

My week in iPhone photos

Monday we went to Toby Keith’s for Chloe’s birthday dinner. Image

Image

Image

Image

By Tuesday night we decided that it would be a good idea to start doing nightly/daily walks with the kids to burn off the many calories we consume while Jon is on vacation.

This kid always smiles!

York Zoo

Yesterday we took our annual summer outing up to York Zoo. We’ve been going up here every summer since we moved up north 5 years ago.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I’m not sure if the deer weren’t hungry or just unfriendly but the girls couldn’t get them to come any closer.

Image

The kids always want to go on a couple of rides so they always rush us through the zoo.

No trip would be complete without a stop at a penny candy shop.

Enjoy Each Moment,

Chloe’s 10th Birthday

We are celebrating Chloe’s 10th birthday today. She and I woke up early and made a red velvet cake. YUM! I love these pictures of the girls when they woke up this morning. Image

Image

This is the moment that we surprised them with another Disney trip. I just love their faces!!

Image

After the excitement of the morning we hopped in the car and headed to Gillette Stadium to meet Mimi and Baba. We took them all to the Patriot’s Hall of Fame and then out to lunch at Toby Keith’s I love this bar and Grille. We had such a great day.
