SUM UP SUMMER WEEK 1

I was visiting Gigi's blog( gigikennedy.typepad.com ) she had a post about summing up summer each week.. I thought it was a cool idea and decided I too wanted to hop on the band wagon. I think this is a great way to document all the fun things going on in our lives. So here goes:
* went to school for watermelon day! Joeys field day
* Paul wrote a book and we were invited to tea to celebrate
* Danny graduated from pre-school, so sad my baby is going to kindergarten
*went to the ice cream stand to celebrate
*Paul went to a pool party
* went to school to say goodbye to a great teacher that is retiring
*report cards came home super grades for both look out I have a 4th grader and a 2nd grader
*Pauls state test came home and he did real well I am so proud of him
*family time in the pool! Tori learning how to swim
*long walk with a good friend
*some scrappy time for me finished a lo but my camera is broken so i can't post it quite yet

Can't wait to document each week of summer.. What did you do this week?

Super HOT here in NY!!

So since Sat it has been 97 to 100 degrees here in NY. Thanky Thanky for the pool.. It really helps keep you cool.. So yesterday we got some thunder showers and I took advantage of the weather and made two pages. I love them so much the second one is of Joey and his video games and the how much he loves them.. The first one is of Victoria and Danny playing in the snow two years ago. I just found these pictures and decided to scrap them. Thanks for looking.

ONE SUPER EXCITED......

Little Boy!!!!! From the moment we told Joey that we were going to Hollywood Studios(MGM) all he wanted to see was Star Wars. Can we see Star Wars is it time for Star Wars yet? He was quite a trooper because we did not get to that side of the park untill after lunch. He had to sit through Beauty and the Beast and that is pure torture for this 6 year old. And a few other painful shows before we got there.. LOL!! So imagine his excitement when we walked out of the restaurant and they were pulling people on stage to learn Jedi moves. He jumped up and down till they picked him. He went up on stage with the biggest smile and learned all the moves. Just when we thought they were done out came Darth Vador. He actually got to try his newly acquired moves on him. So as you can imagine this was a great day in his book..

JUST GOOFIN AROUND

This is our last day of vacation before we all pile back into the car and head for home.. We have spent many days in the pool swimming and playing together. We also visted the magic kingdom and Hollywood studios. I think hollywood studios was the best hands down.. Joey got to go on stage and fight Darth Vador with a light saver. He was so excited.. Paul and Gianna went up and danced with High school musical it was very cool!! And my little girl went up to see chip and dale because she is missing her cats REAL BAD.. She has asked to go home more than once because the cats are lonely. Just a quick update untill we get home...

Happy birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this week was my birthday and I celebrated it with some of my greatest friends!! We spent the night talking and laughing and munching on some yummy food.. On Wednesday I went to Mothers day breakfast with Paul and Joey and my mom at their school.. It is such a nice thing the pta does for the school. We always have a good time..It was a week of celebrating for me because on Friday night Paul and Joe had mother son bowling.. We had pizza and ice cream and bowled 2 games before calling it a night.. This was another great night out because of our pta..

The week ended with me taking my mom for our first pedicures for mothers day.. I think we both enjoyed it..

Well happy mothers day to everyone.

This that and few other things!!!!

so I am the very bad at this whole blogging thing... We have been very busy in the past two and a half months.. Daniel turned 5 in February and Victoria turned 3 in April..

Joey and Danny have started t-ball and love it.. Joseph won 1st place in the pine wood derby for cub scouts. Paul has been practicing for his chorus concert tomorrow night..

WE leave for Florida in 2 weeks for a much needed vacation. Mommy is looking foward to some warm weather and sunshine. Hopefully we will be able to see Uncle john while we are down there. He just moved to Miami and we are hoping to get him up to orlando to see the kids. Daddy has been busy with work and coaching t-ball . Mommy runs around like crazy from one activity to the next with everyone. Mommy is looking foward to a girls night out on sat with some of the most amazing girls who make me laugh all the time... In honour of their birthdays I have to post some pictures of Danny and Tori. Danny had a rollerskating party with his friends from school. Victoria went to the hair salon for a day of pampering.. She had the best time with her cousin Anjalyna and friends Gianna and Gianna.

Peace out Peeps

The magic of Disney.......

Last Saturday we went to see Finding Nemo on Ice.. What a great show I have never been to a Disney show on Ice before. And being a die hard Disney fan this was a great treat for me and the kiddos.. All of them enjoyed the show and sat through the whole show! Daddy scored tickets at work so he and Paul and Joey got to sit in the sixth row up real close.. And Danny well he got to hang out with his pal Nick. These two are attatched at the hip.. Little miss Victoria spent the day with Gianna. We all had a blast. Can't wait to go to Florida with these guys in May.
