Summer 2012
Today is July 1st,  We are right in the middle of summer, the weather is in the 90's.  So far we have been to the Mendon Twin Drive In twice this season.  That is alot because we missed the last 2 summers. 
We have been to Niantic for the beach, & to Billerica to visit my sister.
Individually we have had los of fun as well...
Lena went on a Whale watch with her class, Elizabeth went to the zoo with her class, & Tom has been to Maine for boating.
As for me... I won tickets to see Roger Waters THE WALL  at Fenway Park from WZLX.  It is tonight and I can't wait to go with Tom.

Toddler Bed and other stuff

Well, the toddler bed is assembled and it is beautiful.  We need bedding for it.
She did sleep thru the night in it once!  I had to sleep in the room with her.  She gets out of bed alot. It is like a game.  We went back to using the crib :(
It is going to take some adjustments and patience on our part to get this transition down.

On other stuff...
Today we are going to the Holiday Parade and storytime at the local library.  I hope it is not too cold out.

Money Fight

I love my husband.

Today my husband calls me at work and say to me that he bought a toddler bed for our 2 year old.
It is a fact that I have been shopping around one we can afford that is of some type of quality.  I am on a list at the local childrens consignment store for toddler beds that come in., they call, I go see if I want it, etc. Plus I have been doing some research on bed bars, just in case we do not want a toddler bed.
Anyway, he calls me up ands says my money gave me money for helping her sell some stuff and I went out and purchased a Dora the Explorer toddler bed.
Here is the thing.  I just told him 2 days ago that I went to the consignment store to view a toddler bed and told him that I didn't like it because it only had one cross bar to support the mattress and it was plastic and extremely pink.  He acknowledge me with a grunt so I thought he heard me.
So when he says that he did this, 2 things got me angry. 
1.  Did he not hear me?  I wasn't interested in the dora bed.
2.  Why didn't he tell me he had money.  We are extremely in the red on bills and havn't paid the mortgage.

So, lets just say he knew I was pissed.
He expected me to greet this news with pleasure and joyfullness and instead I was angry and bitter.

???
Either way our daughter gets a new toddler bed & mattress and we get further apart.

Wedding

We all went to Jenn's wedding.  It was alot of fun. We had a hotel room but the TV didn't work, and my husband needs TV. So we switched rooms only to find hornets flying around inside, so we switched rooms again.  The last room was excellent, the TV worked and there were no hornets.  We had fabulous weather for the wedding, the food was great and Jenn looked beautiful.  The next morning I took the girls to the hotel pool for a quick dip. They loved it.
This week Liz has her Halloween party and Lena is going to a slumber birthday party for Melissa.

Tom celebrated his birthday while on vacation in Niantic with the girls. What a guy! He really is a great Dad.
His mom treated us to a lobster dinner, and we love her for this!!!
I also had a hernia operation this week, so he took care of me too. He is amazing and I owe him one.

Now we have been back in school for a couple of weeks, Lena is in middle school and Elizabeth is back at her daycare. They are both happy and in their respective routines! Thank you.

Next we will be going to Jenn Lally's wedding to Tim Brencher in New Haven, CT. This should be fun.

Until next time. Peace

Elizabeth's 2nd birthday.

I want to start this blog about our family. We are currently basking in the wake of Elizabeth turning 2 years old. We had a small but fun family party at home, Minnie Mouse theme. There was a clown to entertain, and a Minnie Pinata filled with lots of goodies. Elizabeth got 2 doll strollers and a BMW racer for kids, lots of cute outfits to wear, and was a very happy 2 year old.

There was however a saddness that we all shared. We had just lost Pop. Tom's dad was the rock of our family and we were still shocked at losing him.

Next to celebrate a birthday will be Tom. Then we will be getting Lena off to Middle School and Elizabeth set up at her new daycare.

Until next time.... peace!
