Partners in Crime!

Abby "eggs Ryan on" when he is doing something naughty! Ryan kept opening the front door and letting it slam shut...Abby was laughing HYSTERICALLY! Then, the glass fell out! It could have been a disaster, but Daddy came to the rescue and fixed the situation.

Apple and Pumpkin Picking!

We had a great morning! Ryan was up at 4:52 (Ugh!), so I got up with him (Sat. is my morning to get up, and Sunday is Joe's morning to get up). Joe and Abby got up around 6:30. We decided to go to IHOP in Salem...Joe has be dying to try their crepes. Anyway, after shopping at Target, Kohls, Christmas Tree Shop, and Joe's Haircut, and a nap in the car, Joe and I decided to take the kids apple and pumpkin picking. THey were absolutely adorable!!!!! Ryan loved it! They both loved eating them!

Look how full his mouth is!! He kept saying, "YUM!"

Abby stole Joe's apple from him....I guess one just wasn't enough!

I got stuck picking apples because the other three were busy having snacktime!

RJ LOVES pumpkins!!!! He carries the little ones around our house! TOO CUTE

Precious!

On Monday, I was done with the flu, but everyone else was fighting it. RJ was also snuggling with Joe right before this picture was taken.

Go Patriots!

What should have been a beautiful weekend wasn't so pretty in the Guerrette household...we all battled the stomach flu. These pictures were taked before it hit the kids...aren't they cute in their patriots outfits?

I was battling the flu the night before this picture was taken. I also have Abby's clip in my hair. I love the look on Abby's face tho.

Happy Late Birthday Joe!

Looking back at old blogs, I found that I had time to wish Kathie Lee and Frank a Happy Birthday on the blog, but I missed my own husband's birthday. Is that weird? Hehe! These pictures are from Joe's actual birthday, last Saturday!!! I love how they play together now. Very sweet!

Mystic Aquarium

Well, before I was working, I would HARASS Kendra about not updating her blog. She would tell me she didn't have time, and I didn't know how she didn't have time to spend 15 minutes on her blog.....NOW I KNOW. Wow! I owe her many, many apologies! Anyway, here are the pictures of the Mystic Aquarium from a couple of weeks ago! THE KIDS HAD A BLAST!!!!! It is so fun taking them to new places and seeing the excitement on their faces!

RJ's favorite part was the Skate pool. We went back several times.

Ryan and Joe went in to see the birds! I am afraid of birds so Abby and I opted out! Ryan had birds landing on his head! He had a great time! YUCK!

Nice haircut Auntie!

RJ shows his little sister the fish! Ryan kept saying the fish were "funny!"

My two kids....precious!

Abby looking at a lobster!

Random Story!

Joe just called me into Abby's room to show me what I look like when I sleep. He says we even sleep in the same position. Lucky Abby, she is just like her mama (although more and more people have been telling me she looks more like her Grandma....then I say Poor Abby....JK MOM).

I am HQT (Highly Qualified Teacher)!

The first week of school went well. My classes are small this year, which makes life so much easier. I got my test results yesterday and I passed the Praxis for Middle School Social Studies!! YIPPEE!! It saves me hours and hours of work! My best two sections of the test were economics and geography...what a joke!

The kids had a blast at Claire's this week! On Wednesday, Ryan was standing by the door at 6 A.M. saying "bye bye mama"...he was ready to go see his friends. Too cute! Claire is magical...every kid that goes there absolutely adores her. Kendra and I have been trying to figure out her secret since Harrison was a baby!

Kendra survived her first day with the 3 kids today: carter, abby and ryan (Harrison is at school). Ryan did have 3 time outs before she even got here this morning. Joe said he was being mean to poor abby. When she is a little older and decides to fight back, he is in BIG TROUBLE!

We are off to Mystic Connecticut tomorrow morning and then the Russells asked us to be the Godparents to their new baby Kate so we have her baptism on Sunday. Should be fun!!!!!

Joe is trying so hard to make her a Boston Fan!

Don't worry mom and dad....Joe had to hold her hands because as soon as he let go she was trying to rip it off as quickly as she could!!

Great Island Common with the Michauds

On Labor Day we went with our friends the
Michauds to my new favorite park in New Castle (the same one I went to with kendra and another time with amy). I have cute pics of Marissa, but I forgot to ask if they minded if I post them, so I didn't include them. See saws in the 21st century are so great because they don't bang to the ground when someone gets off.
Here are my 3 favorite people :)





My kids LOVE the swings! Joe was giving Abby tiny little pushes...when I came along I gave her real pushes and she LOVED IT...belly laugh after belly laugh. These pics are before Auntie cut her hair! I told her to do it, but I blame her when people ask what happened.

Poor Abby!

Abby can't crawl by Ryan without him thinking it's time for a pony ride!

Football, Photo Shoots and End of Summer!

Well, it's official....summer is over!!! I had such a great summer; I could not have asked for anything more. When I look back over the last few months, I can't believe how much the kids and I were able to do! From fun Fridays with Auntie and the cousins to outings with Auntie Amy, Parker and Sophia to STORY LAND with Uncle Gary, Auntie Jenn and kids, it was just the perfect summer!!! I am looking forward to going back to work on many levels, but it is going to be hard to lose so much time with the kids....that's why a teacher's schedule is perfect! Ryan and Abby love going to their babysitter and seeing their friends, and RJ is going to love Fridays with Auntie and Carter (two people he just adores). I am going back to work and teaching a totally new subject...U.S. History! In a lot of ways it probably will be an easier subject to teach, but relearning all the content is going to take some time. Oh well! At least I'm not Amy who got talked into teaching 7th grade science (j.k. Amy)!!



Anyway, here are some pictures from this week of Joe and Ryan playing football together, while Abby and I pose for the camera!!!



Joe teaches Ryan how to hike the ball (is that what it's called)?
