may 20- may 26

May 20- Bubble Alex in the tub.

May 21- Alex's favorite new program. Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior.

May 22- I had to create soda looking bottles for the PSA we were doing without having the kids have actual soda. Some acrylic paint and we were good to go!

May 23- Alex's breakfast most mornings. Cookies and cream pop tart... no crusts.

May 24- not sure why this one went sideways, but it did. I had parent orientation at the Junior/ Senior High School for Kira this night. Very large supply list this coming year.

May 25- Gold Medal winners at the Great East Festival in both chorus and band!! Then they got to go to Canobie Lake Park as a treat. Hubby did this field trip and took amazing pictures for me.

May 26- This is how Kira spends her time when it is 90 degrees outside. Lining her LPS dogs up with their tails toward the center of the room. I don't ask.

april 29- may 5

April 29- This will be a picture of the Rite Aid in our town. Not today... but it will appear in my album.

April 30- My jacket that I didn't realize had fallen off of my grocery cart until much later in the morning and I had to go back to the store. Thank goodness it was found by an honest employee who turned it in.

May 1- Raining. It would be a frequent theme of the month.

May 2- oh yes... we had to call them for our sewer line. Thank goodness there were no roots in the line just a small dip that caused the plug. Adding that to the things to do list.

May 3- Alex's pants drying from him running through the grass at pick up.

May 4- Me and my twin finally getting together for a scrappy weekend at our friend Nancy's place.

May 5- Super moon.

february 22- february 29

February 22- my regular volunteer day in Alex's class. They were making George Washington hats to celebrate Presidents Day this week. Aren't they the cutest group of Georges?? They were all SCREAMING George Washington!! So cute. I will have to let you all know that my son putting his hands in his pockets like that, is exactly what my grandfather did when he was standing around. I guess giving Alex my Bumpa's name for his middle name was perfect!

February 23- I was able to go hang out with some of the ladies I hung out with the previous Sunday at the Tavern in town. Gotta love $2.50 margaritas, good food and even better friends. All that is missing from that picture are little photo cutouts of us hanging in the window (we try to get the table by the window to seat everyone who joins in for the fun)

February 24- Hubby was at the Burlington Mall in Massachusetts and just so happened to stop by the Cheesecake Factory for a little dessert run. I should have taken a picture of the cakes but I didn't. Very tired that night so we'll have to go for the description on their website. For some reason, hubby and I always called this cake Nancy's cake. Not sure if we got the name wrong or if at some point they changed the name. But we call it Nancy's cake so sorry Linda. We love your cake but we give credit to someone else. LOL

February 25- I will admit, this picture was taken the following day as it was pitch black when this branch landed on our roof scaring hubby and I. It was quite windy during the day and once it got to be night it picked up a bit. This branch was thrown onto the roof and then slid to its current resting place. It sounded like someone was climbing the side of the house and it sure wasn't someone quiet like Spiderman!! We went out to investigate in the dark with a flashlight to make sure no damage had been done. I took this picture the next day.

February 26- Oh yeah... we have gotten into posting signs on our front lawn in favor of getting land for a new high school (at least that is what we want) but without this land, we won't even have the option of renovating the current building. But I digress... here is the sign on our front lawn. Ignore the icky brown grass.

February 27- Chuck E Cheese day with Alex, Kira and Kira's friend Maggie. Such a great day and good kids. They had fun. And so did mommy as some of my friends and their kids were also there!!

February 28- There was a runaway towel that decided it needed to fall behind the washer and my fabulous daughter sat on the washer trying to move it with a hanger to the corner so we could grab it. We got the towel, but the hanger... well it is now behind the washer until I pull everything out next week. Too much going on to worry about it this week!

February 29- Happy Leap Day!! The kids totally loved leaping off the wall. So much fun. Maybe we can do it again in four years and see how much they have grown!! Love it!

Ready for the next month! Very disappointed that my photo order did not come today. I thought it would be here so I could work on my Project Life but no such luck. Bummer.

february 19- february 21

February 19- Two carloads of my wonderful friends met up at Flatbread and it was so good!! Not only the amazing food but the fun we had. Thank goodness they had the sense to put a large group of women in a separate room. We were not out for a G-rated evening. After dinner we were off to see the ({VDay 2012})  presentation of The Vagina Monologues. 

AMAZING TIME! 

Never been prouder to be a woman and to be with such great ladies. They are wonderful and supportive and understanding... and simply gorgeous women. I do believe it's good for them to be in my Project Life.

February 20- Slow cooker hot cocoa!! Seriously the best stuff on Earth. I found it on Pinterest. When I went to the blog to read up on it, the amounts were different than the picture that was posted on Pinterest so I went with that.

Here is the recipe that I use in case you are interested. But be warned, once you make it you will want it FOREVER!! One slow cooker, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 6 cups of milk (I have used both whole and 2% and it comes out great with both), 1 14ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and 2 cups of milk chocolate chips (not the semi sweet kind). Put it all together in your slow cooker on low for two hours. Stir it pretty often. After two hours enjoy the sweet goodness. I add mini marshmallows to mine. oh boy oh boy.

Anyway... this is my picture for that day.

February 21- I took this in the morning looking out my kitchen door. The snow is still there as by the time the sun gets warm, it has moved and that spot is in the shade. Someday it will go away.
