Snip It's Party

Avery has a new BFF from school. She has an awesome birthday part at Snip-It's. The kids got to pick a hair style, get their nails done, had make-up done (complete with blue eye shadow), and then put on a fashion show. The girls had a blast!!

Dress up

The kids got a kick out of dressing Moose and Minnie up in their pajamas.

Beach

One of my favorite clothing brands for the kids has to be Matilda Jane. I love the versatility of the outfits and the ability to mix and match. Sage and Avery can even wear the same outfit. Sage is wearing Avery's clothes-just with the pants rolled at the waist. We get compliments ALL the time when we are out. At first I would try and explain that it is a trunk show company and with the blank stares-I now just you can't get it around here.

Baseball at the Beach

The beach was super cold-in Burlington it was almost 80-in Gloucester not even 60. Needless to say we weren't dressed warm enough but we were so excited to be at the beach that we ran and played anyways. Here are some pics of Tristan playing baseball. He is getting so big-when I look at him and see how much he can do-I am baffled by the fact that he is only 4.

Simonds

We had a run of beautiful weather and took full advantage. Here are some pics from our sunset trip to the park.

Imajine That

Kids dressing up as pirates and painting at Imajine That!!

Lexington Park

More pics of one of our favorite parks!!

Monkeys

We love this park in Lexington-great play equipment and it has nice trails to walk as well. Tristan has become an expert on the monkey bars-he can get across in the blink of an eye. Avery has been trying so hard to keep up with her brother-but as of yet-she hasn't figured it out.

Random Kitchen Fun

When I was at the Gap-I found this awesome Maclaren doll stroller on sale and then with an extra 50% off-total was $8.00. Best deal ever!! The kids love it and who knew they actually made Maclaren strollers for dolls. It has a real 5-point harness and comes in gender neutral colors. Even Tristan loves pushing it around. Sage is enjoying a snack while watching her brother bring the baby to the doctors "for shots that don't hurt that bad."

Bedtime!!

Avery loves her bed-it is her hideaway, her camp, her fort. Many morning Tristan and Avery will be heard talking about going camping in their tent, running from bears and wolves. I love hearing the development of imagination and role-playing. Here are Avery and Sage, playing before bedtime.

Winter Zoo Trip

I have to say that our zoo membership has been one of the best investments ever. This is our third year we have had one and we get our money's worth. In the spring/summer and fall, we visit the zoo at least once per week. During the winter, any mild day-we head off to the zoo. We also venture to Franklin Park during the summer and are hoping to get to Roger Williams soon.
