Hello mybaby Peeps...
Last week was a whirlwind. We took a hot lap around New England. We visited relatives in NH then went and stayed in Portsmouth NH at a hotel. From there we indulged in indoor swimming, a submarine tour, a Children's Museum session and a boy-adventure at Rye Airfield in NH (hence the videos). Then, we jetted in our overloaded suburban to Mass & stayed overnight with my mother @ another hotel. We fully polished martinis, swam and stuffed ourselves on cake.
Other highlights from the weekend:
- getting lost (twice)
- tantrums in the cold
- pizza-fed TV marathon of Man vs. Wild
- VT friends staying with us at our hotel
- continental breakfasts
- laughs with family members
- not cleaning a massive quantity of popcorn and cereal crumbs
- packing up two hotels rooms in two nights
- yelling at boys to stop jumping from bed-to-bed
- letting the boys jump bed-to bed
- musical beds (hotel style- swap all night long)
- singing in the car
- having my kids tell me to stop singing because I have a terrible voice
- suffering through my husband's RANDOM playlists
- singing kid songs (all 28 on one cd)
- bugging everyone by turning "party like a rock star" too loud
- homemade coconut balls
- "marker everywhere" situations in the car- with washable markers
- gum requests all day long
- emergency trip to DICK's for swimmies only to come out with a lifejacket that makes my two year old look like tommy boy (when he's in the boat in the lake)
- letting my kids run around in hallways and lobbies
- playing playdough at the museum (again, not having to clean up the mess!)
- getting away for a few days
This was a thanksgiving I am truly thankful for. Hope yours was great...
