One month til the DUE DATE - Squeezing in the FUN!

I feel like I have been nesting for the last 3 months, I swear this is the pregnancy that will not end. But, we have been trying to squeeze in as much fun as possible these days to0. Check out some of the fun things we have done in the last couple of weeks.

Our favorite girls came over the other day to ride bikes in the cul-de-sac. Boy did we have some good laughs. You know what that say about women drivers.
Sam rode his bike while the girls had fun in his jeep. They all did so well taking turns.
Watch where you are going Miss. Kate!

This little face is priceless ... Ava loved riding the jeep into the frozen snow banks, she gave everyone a good laugh.

So much fun together!

Jen and I took all the kids my Sammy and her 3, Ava, Katie and Ryan to the Science Museum on Presidents Day! Once we got there we decided we were totally insane to make the trip on a holiday. The place was a MAD HOUSE. The kids had fun though.

Teeter Totter!

On a mission to MARS.

The kids climbing where they shouldn't be. Jen attempts to get all the kids down. I was pretty useless, so I just took pictures.

Teamwork.

For good ole Valentines Day I bought the boys and myself tickets to see Toy Story on Ice. We had a fun day together. Dan and I realized how cheap we are when we got to the show. I thought enough to bring a backpack of snacks and Sam's Buzz and Woody dolls he got from Dahma for Christmas - All I can say is LIFESAVER. It is silly how much things cost at these events. Sam didn't know any different, not yet at least.

We didn't pack snacks for Daddy, so he stuffs down pizza before the show.

Waiting for the show.

He couldn't wait to see Buzz and Woody.

It was a fun day. Sam did great up until intermission and then it was touch and go after that. It was also nap time. Once we got him to the car and out of the garage he slept the whole way home. Happy Valentines Day Boys!

Let it snow - What a winter?

What a winter! Could it get any colder? Could we get any more snow? It was a record breaker this year! I am so happy we are getting closer to Spring. I laid low as much as possible this winter ... I have a huge fear of falling and with this ever growing baby belly I would really hate to have a spill. We had a handful of snow days and NO SCHOOL for Sam this year. It was quite the challenge for us both to survive as I "tried" to work from home on those days. Sam was such a trooper, and I hate to say it but some days he spent more time with Dora the Explorer than he did with Mommy. We survived and are still best buds. Plus, Sam can count to five in Spanish now. The boys spent a lot of time outside exploring and riding around in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sled Dan found. I don't know who had more fun Dan or Sam.

Our yard gets the brunt of the snow from the plow trucks. Great hills to sled down for the little ones.
Everybody helps Mr. Dan shovel a path to the front door. We are the only family on the block that doesn't have plow service or a snow blower. Shoveling can be back breaking.

Little helper, helping out Daddy!

"Look Mommy the snow is taller than me"

Snow ball fights or should I say toss. The sound of the laughs was priceless.

Dan and Sam went sledding with some friends at a golf course in Marshfield.

OK, so at the bottom there is a video that absolutely terrified me as "Sam's Mommy" you will know if when you see it. Anyway, Ben helps Sam get back to the top of the hill after his first solo ride down. I guess Sam has a blast.

Childrens's Museum is a Winter Lifesaver

There are many weekends in the winter that I am happy we have a membership to the Children's Museum in Boston. We made it there a couple times in the last month.

Sam helped pack lunches. Luke thinks he should be able to go to. Sorry buddy, no Dogs allowed.

This is the first visit that Sam discovered the jackhammer. He loved it.

Driving the Bob Cat!

He loves to shoot hoops, it is usually the first place we stop when we get there.

Bouncy seat .... how high can you shoot the ball up to the top when you sit down. Notice mommy is not sharing in on this activity.

Sand table - another favorite.

Cool dudes!

Later that month we met Jen, Jeff, Asher and Bohdi at the Museum.

Our first time at the water table, I always try to avoid this area. It can be scary. The boys had fun.

Co-pilot Cousins. Taking turns.

Little climber.

Uncle Dan and Baby Bohdi.

Quite the rock band!

We went back to Jamaica Plain to celebrate a very special birthday with Aunt Jen. Happy Birthday Aunt Jen!
