Foam Frolic 2008

We made it to Ipswich's Annual Foam Frolic today and it was AWESOME!

Mary & I took Cassidy, Kelsey, Colin & Brendan way back when (years ago!). We've never forgotten what fun it was, we still talk about it often. We just never made it back!

The town always seems to tell us at the last minute~I usually read about it after the fact.

Well, this year was different...I was lucky enough to catch the little blurb in yesterday's paper and WE WERE THERE! I was working, so that meant 4 extra kids but I wouldn't have missed it. It wasn't easy counting 6 heads for that hour and a half, but boy was it worth it. These kids had a BLAST! Daddy was even able to stop by for a quick minute to see what all this fun was about!

Kendall, Caragh, Reilly & Madison

Utter excitement!

26 Things TAG

Here is a fun challenge that Katie started today called 26 Things. The idea is to take one picture for each letter of the alphabet through a game of blog-tag.

Here are the rules/directions:

1. If you are tagged, you are responsible for taking 1 picture of an item that begins with your letter. Be creative! Anything goes.

2. Post the picture on your blog.

3. Tag someone new with the next letter of the alphabet.

4. Since there are 26 letters, someone may be tagged multiple times. That is perfectly fine, but try to spread the love if you can.

5. If someone doesn't want to play, they should pass. Tag someone else in their place.

Let's see how long it takes to complete this project...

Now, onto our 2nd letter, the bodacious letter B.

The timing on this couldn't have been more perfect...B is for BIRTHDAY!!!

This gal is 34! Yikes!!! (and without make-up!)

Here's to you Katie!

The kids enjoyed surprising me w/ a cake & balloon. Cassidy and the little ones also made me some heart-shaped choc. chip cookies!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! Love you all, every single one of ya! ♥♥♥

I now tag Mary Feener to showcase the letter C!
