Morning Bike Ride

Today, I was Tyrone and Jace was Pablo (Backyardigans). Our adventures took us on another bike ride.
I was so anxious to get out this morning I didn't realize I still had my house slippers on until I started peddling away. Too late to turn back! haha Here are some photos.


This is my favorite street in the Fall. I live off this street.


One of the many things I love about New England is the stone walls and beautiful trees.

Same Sex Marriage in Kindergarten?!!

I just watched a video that every Mother should see. This video brought it "home!"
It makes me sick to think about having the conversation of same sex marriage to my kindergartner, but I may be having it sooner than later!
Our kids aren't growing up in the same world we did. These valiant Spirits really need to be strong....these valiant Spirits really need good parents! Between our two generations we have already begun fighting the last War! Isn't it obvious?

Please listen to this clip- the video might not play but the audio will work.

Taken' a Hike!

This was such a fun day with the kids. We walked around a beautiful Lake and followed trails all morning. The weather is still holding out for us. Another Perfect day!

I wish you could see this!

I LOVE the Fall! It is so beautiful in Connecticut. I wish everyone could see what I see right now. God's creation, once again, has left me in awe.

Sneek Peek

Sunday was perfect!
We spent the afternoon at Waveny Park and enjoyed the warm sun and a "Sneek Peek" of Autumn. The leaves are begining to change but it's nothing compared to what awaits us.

Tae Kwon Do Party

On the 7th try I finally got it right!

This is the way to do a birthday party:

I send out the invitations....

I bring the cake...

I WATCH"someone else" entertain 20 kids!...

I go home happy!

"Hobi Hobbit"

Friday the Hobi's had a little visitor.
At least, it must be little because it left "little" footprints all over the walls.
This visitor has named himself the "Hobi Hobbit" and has dropped in uninvited and unannounced for the past few years.
He (we assume it's a he) leaves rewards for my kids when they have shown good behavior. Along with the rewards he writes them a note that praises and encourages them.
He typicaly visits during the night. We wake up to a trail of footprints around the house that unfailingly lead us to a surprise.
He has entered our home from a window, attic and fireplace!! We think he might be related to Santa somehow!
This visit he left Halloween crafts for everyone. (Even Me!)
He entered through the dinning room window while I was at the bus stop. This guy is fast!
What a surprise to come home too!
