Happy Shopping

Revere Beach

On a warm Sunday afternoon-we took the family to Revere beach. We played in the water, built great sand castles and then had dinner at Kelly's. Great day!!

And then there were 3

Tristan at the Beach

Tristan and Daddy building a tunnel.

Sage at the Beach

Sage enjoying the ocean!!

Avery at the Beach

Seashells, seashells of the shore,

I wonder where you were before.

Some are big and some are small,

How many seashells are there in all.

Easter Egg Hunt

A friend from preschool held an after Easter, Easter Egg Hunt. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a blast, they even got personalized buckets.

Hockey

Tristan started playing on a very non-competitive, instructional hockey team. It is for kids ages 4-7 and he loves it. Here he is on the ice and on the bench. Of course his biggest fan had to visit the bench to show her support.

Zoo trip

Visiting the zoo, yet again!! This time we have friends Colleen and Michael and cousing Julia in tow. I love how Colleen has the tiara on!! Make sure to check out Tristan's long hair because the end is soon.

Nettie's Playground

Water Table

Sage decided to take full advantage of the water table-pj's and all. In the background you can see that we are doing some spring cleaning. It's amazing how much we can fit into one shed :)

Avery and her Puzzle

Avery was vey proud of this puzzle. She put it together all by herself and requested that we take a picture of it.

Breastfeeding- Dr. Seus style!!

Would you nurse him in a park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?

I would nurse her in the park.
I would nurse him in the dark.
I'd nurse with or without a boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.

Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk til dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her til she's full.

Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy's milk is the best start!

Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?

I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation, I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It's perfect food, you need no aid.

Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast's the perfect food.

I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would never be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk's the perfect food!

We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There's no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.

Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can't be beat.

I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I'll meet her needs,
I'll always try.

It's not about what's good for you,
It's best for babies, through and through.

I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.

Leave me be lads,
leave me be ma'am
I will nurse her, MOM I am.
