from the mouths of babes

RADIO DJ: And what a weekend! Between the Red Sox and the Patriots....

GOOSEY: Mom, everyone's talking about the Red Sox.

ME: Well, they won an important game. They're the best baseball team in the United States.

GOOSEY: I wish they'd stop talking about them.

ME: I know.

Fall 101

Our Fall colors peaked last week. I'd like to say that I spent lots of time taking pictures of the amazing foliage, but the kids come first. I did manage to snap a couple of shots, but they don't even come close to the brilliance of the real thing.

Driving down the road to our house.

A farmer's field.

Peeking into the woods.

New Hampshire countryside.


A local cemetery.

In other news, this is my 101st post.

A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

What better place to visit the pumpkin patch than New Hampshire? Well, evidently that's what Michelle and the girls thought too. I'm sure you thought I was exaggerating when I wrote this, but it's happened again.

When we got to our pumpkin patch of choice we discovered that there was a children's fair being held, featuring a visit from Michelle Obama. No joke. We left before Michelle and the girls arrived, but enjoyed the multitude of activities for the kids.

Oh, and I'm invited to a house party to meet Governor Romney this Thursday. Gotta see if I can find a babysitter.

Can you believe this?

It's too darn hot!

It's 87 degrees.

In New Hampshire.

In October.

Goosey is 5!

It's Goosey's birthday week. She celebrated by having a "Hawaii Party" with her friends (her first friend party). She had a great time and was a wonderful hostess. What a grown up girl!
