You know when you are playing catch-up from months past, there is bound to be posts that really don't have any theme at all. They contain a wide arrange of pictures and events that would otherwise take too long to blog about individually. This is one of those posts, you have been warned.
1. We attended a little Crimson Parents Valentines day party. Music, candy and even a fun photo booth. I love this picture of the kids. The way Clare's bangs are laying make her look so grown up!
2. Noah, Clare and myself will occasionally all go grocery shopping together. You better believe that when we do, we always stop for lunch!
3. A little shopping with the kids. If I ever take my kids shopping Noah ALWAYS, without fail, wants to get something just for him. Usually its a toy, but if that isn't an option he will take anything. This is a battle we constantly have, and he usually loses I might add.
Clare kept going up to the man equine and holding its hand. She would say, "dis is my frien" haha. She was serious, and it definitely gave me a good laugh!
4. Noah got more birthday money in the mail! He's never been so happy to receive a late birthday gift!
5. Many winter days were spent playing in the hallway with our friends Andrew and his twin sister Elizabeth. Noah loves to push them around and entertain them.
6. We also spent many days inside due to the fact that spring is so late this year (I am wondering if it will ever really come). So painting is always an option. The kids enjoyed this equally, although Noah really enjoyed painting all over himself more.
7. Then there was that one day where it was so beautiful, in-between snow storms. I will miss this view!
8. When Clare takes a late nap she almost gets rewarded (which shouldn't happen, I know) by staying up with mommy and daddy and playing a game on the iPad. She is just too sweet to resist.
9. A little tip to the Cambridge fire station. Noah was so enchanted by all the trucks and sitting in the drivers seats. Clare kept her ears plugged the ENTIRE time, but I still managed to get this picture. You can definitely see the nervousness on her face. haha
10. For my birthday back in January, Andy bought tickets for us to go see Greg Laswell in concert. It was a small venue and super intimate and was a fantastic show! We had a great time.
11. Andy took Noah to see the Lego Movie with some friends, so I decided that clare and I would go on our own little date. A lunch date! It was a blast. She loved to just wander around and take a seat here and there. I love spending time with this little lady.
12. Attempting to take a picture of the baby bump, 21 weeks I believe. Noah obviously had other ideas :)
13. I'm not usually a burger kind of gal, but I can't resist Shake Shack's burgers. Can't. Resist.
14. Went on a little weekend girls trip with some friends up to Lake Winnipesaukee. It was cold and snowy, but gorgeous. We had such a fun time lounging and talking and going out to eat. I especially loved not having to make my bed in the morning.
15. While I was away, Andy took care of things at home. I love this picture he took of the kids doing a craft at home depot. Clare's hair is simply out of control. It's just too funny.
16. Clare and her cousin Brooklyn Skyping. They were listening to frozen music and wearing matching princess dresses that their Nana made for them.
17. If I ever have a reason to walk over to the Spangler here on campus, this girl always insists on coming and also insists on getting a chocolate chip muffin. Every single time.
18. A class field trip to the Boston Museum of Art. The kids took a little tour and then were able to make something of their own out of clay! Noah made a hammerhead shark, of course. It was a fun place to go, but if I went back I'd definitely plan to go without my kids.
19. We had a sunny day in Boston and decided to walk to Harvard square to get some froyo for a treat. The kids enjoyed it, as you can see, and so did I!
20. This rarely happens, but you know they're tired when.....
21. I love this picture of Noah and Clare perched on the couch like this. Watching a show of some sort and just getting along. I love that.
22. I bought the kids a couple of games for them to play at home. They especially loved this Fish game, but you can imagine how much cheating was taking place.
23. Wearing Nana's bracelets as earrings. She is such a character!
