Happy Halloween

"To see the giddiness and excitement in a child during the holidays is truly what it is all about!" ~Mama Hen

We had a fabulous Halloween! Little Chick was excited to carve some pumpkins last night. She had fun dressing up in her 1800's costume. She also spent quite a bit of time getting ready for her presentation at school this morning. She did such a fantastic presentation on the 5 Little Pumpkins. Little Chick was adorable in her pumpkin shirt! I was so proud of her. LC was jumping for joy when my dear friend Geri came in her doll costume. My little princess, best friend and I drove to my mom's house to pick up Grandma Hen. We had so much fun trick or treating! It was a really fun Halloween!

Flash Back on a Fabulous Summer

"Half the fun of making cherished memories is all the smiles one gets when looking back upon them." ~Mama Hen

Looking back on the summer is always fun as we head on into colder days. We finally had to put the heat on and I thought it would be great to flash back and see all the fantastic things we did in the summer months. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach. Sometimes we would spend the mornings there and then head back after dinner to run and splash. Little Chick had lots of fun with her cousin and friends. We liked going to the zoo each week and to Stepping Stones, as well as Mystic and the Maritime Aquarium. We went into Manhattan to explore and visit the American Girl doll store and were pretty busy making crafts. LC decided that it was time to take her training wheels off her bike and she took off and rode as if she had been riding without training wheels for years. Very exciting! Little Chick had quite a summer. To top it off we made sure to head back to our favorite get away - New Hampshire! We loved hiking, swimming and climbing. Such fabulous memories!
