Your Preppy Name Is...

What's Your Preppy Name?

Ah.. my two older kids are back in school. The house is much quieter (as quieter as it can get with a three year old, two year old and 11 month old at home!) But just these past few days have been different. I think the babies are much more relaxed. I can't put my finger on it.

Anyhoo, I am digging out my Fall decorations. However, I have two house showings tomorrow so I will have to wait to bring everything out. I love the Fall. I must have at least eight large rubbermaid containers to hold my decorations. I can't wait to see what the stores have this year.

We wanted to go to Keene, New Hampshire for the Pumpkin festival. Visit their site here: http://www.pumpkinfestival.com/ . The photo above is from their site. It seems like a great time. I think I read about it in Martha last Halloween. Alas, so did everyone else because all the hotels in a very large radius is completely booked for the weekend. So we are going to focus on next year!

I am also excited to have entered The Pink Clutch's Wicked Halloween Swap. I have a great partner and I can't wait to shop for goodies to send her!

Well, I am off to clean the house and get ready for tomorrow. Please send some "Sell Your House Wishes" my way!!!

A Small Ode to Summer

Ah.. summer is almost over. Labor day looms... and school starts next week. As I am anxiously waiting for the Fall, I am trying to live in the moment and relish these last few carefree days.

Here are few pictures from some of our adventures.

A Little Love

I have been very busy. We are not yet in school so I have been cramming in the day trips for the kids before school starts. So far we have been to the zoo 3X(this place is awesome..fodder for another post), the Crayola factory 1X, the county Grange Fair 1X, Giggleberry Fair 1X (another great place), numerous playgrounds, one trip to Ikea(with their Smaland(sp?) my kids think we actually went for them!. And this week we have the Franklin Institute, the zoo(again!) and Sesame Place. This weekend I have to locate and access our soccer equipment. We will have three players this fall and guess what? I have a feeling that everyone will need new stuff.

Mix in all the BTS shopping and the house showings..oh.. I suddenly feel tired.

Anyhoo.. this is a picture of my two year old loving on my soon-to-be one year old. Sweet-yes? Ahh- pictures can be deceiving. Actually the scenerio plays out like this:

2yo: Mom, I ug (hug) her.

Me: well, alright. (more than alittle worried)

2yo:(laying on top off almost 1yo)

1yo: AHHHHHHH (screaming and looking at me as if to say How could you?)

But it really is all love. Crazy kids!
