Stolen Pics

I couldn't help but steal these pictures from Amy! There are more cute pictures on her blog. Amy took them during yesterday's playdate. My kids LOVE the Berube kids. They get so excited when they get to play together. Sophie slept most of the time so Abby posed for Amy. The boys were being noisy and rough building towers and knocking them down.

OMG.....PRECIOUS!!!!!

I Forgot the Worst Part!

Okay, so as we are getting ready to leave, RJ and Abby are getting antsy (this is before we noticed the whole eye thing). So, I decide its not worth changing for the ride home. Therefore, during all of this running around and chaos, I am prancing around in my BATHING SUIT.. Are you kidding me? I just bought this "skirtini" so it was more coverage than a regular suit, but still a lot less than I would have worn out and about. UGH!

Fun Friday Ended in the ER!

I forgot my camera for our last fun Friday of this summer. It really was fun, until it was time to leave and I said to Kendra, "Ryan looks weird." I stole these pics from the park's website and Kendra's Blog.

Okay, so it all started when I went to pick Kendra up. My phone charger broke so I asked her to grab her cell phone. When we got to the park, we had a GREAT time. Ryan LOVED this splash park. Harrison, Carter and Abby spent most of the time in the man-made lagoon. It is a great place to go on a summer day.

So the chaos began when it was time to leave. As we are walking to the car, I notice Ryan looked different. K and I looked closer and realized his eyes were swelling...he was having an allergic reaction to something (we still don't know what) I called my PCP and the nurse told me to get him some Benadryl and if that doesn't work, head to the ER. Next, I tried to call JOE, while trying to find a pharmacy in a unfamiliar town. KENDRA"S PHONE STINKS! It kept cutting out. Joe had no clue what I was saying to him. I was frantic. Finally, we got meds, but still had not gotten through to Joe...he had heard emergency, but didn't know the details. The Benadryl did not help by the time we got to Nashua...in fact his eyes (especially the left one) were completely swollen shut. RJ and I got out at SNHMC ER and Kendra took Harrison, Carter, and Abby home. Joe met us at the ER, after finally being able to reach him. Ryan in on a steriod for 4 days and Benadryl every 4 to 6 hours. After his second dose of meds today, he looked much better. I did take some pics with Joes cell phone, I will try to have him add them to the blog. Poor baby.

My Last Post: Sesame Street Parade

The Sesame Street Parades are held twice a day: 2 (naptime) and 7 (bedtime). On our last night in Langhorne, we went to dinner and ice cream outside the park and then came back to watch the parade. It gave the kids the opportunity to say goodbye to all the characters!

Before the parade started, we kept the kids occupied by having them balance on the curb.
Telly, Cookie, Big Bird and Zoe do the twist.
This guy was so into his routine. The whole time I wished I had my phone to text Amy...this is your boyfriend.
Bert came off the float to give high fives. RJ was impressed by his glasses.

We had such a great time!!!!!

More from Character Dinner.

Ryan cracks me up because he gets so serious when he is posing with the characters.

Ryan, Abby and Joe are dancing with Elmo who is singing "Hot, Hot Hot!"
Daddy and Abby....sweet

Some More Random Pictures.

Ryan loved the pool because he could run around in it. It was only a couple feet deep.
See...Joe did have a good time. Look at that smile!
Abby kept crouching in the water and jumping up.


This is "Big Bird's Nest" Such a simple concept, but the kids had a blast stacking the shapes.

Playing in the Hotel

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids in the hotel. Again, both the kids LOVED the hotel. They did a great job with naps and bedtime....a first for a hotel visit.

A few more pics....The blue thing is a "mountain" that the kids can climb up and then slide down. Ryan LOVED it...he kept going back.



Here is Abby on the Balloon ride. I went on this ride once and HATED it..It spins around and gave me a headache. Abby, however, kept begging to go back on it. Her daddy had to take her because I am too much of a wimp. She also asked to go on the big roller coaster, but she is too little.
This is a super bouncy mat that they call "Ernie's mattress" Ryan liked it, Abby did not.

Playing in the Water at Sesame Place

Sesame Place has many "dry" rides, and many water park/pools. Here are the kids playing in the water! They had so much fun

Dinner with Big Bird and Friends

I don't have much time but here are some pics of our dinner last night. You have to pay extra for a character dinner, but it is definitly worth it. It saves us from having to wait in line to meet the characters in the regular park.

I love this picture...Abby never did warm up to cookie monster!!!

We think that RJ has a secret crush on Zoe!!
Abby says hi to Ernie

Touch a Truck

We went to this great fund raiser in Nashua. It is called "touch a truck" and there were many different styles of trucks that the kids could climb in and pretend to drive......every little boy's dream. They had trucks from the army, the fire department, UPS, moving companies, Hannafords, dump trucks, construction vehicles, etc. Ryan had a blast!! Abby was scared of the horns!

Ryan and Abby in the back of a police car. I suspect that Ryan will be seeing the back of these cars when he is a teenager and he and Carter convince each other to do stupid things!

Park with Friends

Ryan and Abby have so much fun with their friends Parker and Sophia. When I told Ryan he was going to see Parker, I can't describe how excited he was (we are going to see a play at the Palace Theater today).

Parker is so good about posing for the pictures.
Abby and Sophia are so cute together. They have no choice....they have to be best friends.
Soooooo cute!! It took a couple of tries to get them all looking!

Pool Party

We went to a cookout at the Locke's house a couple of Saturdays ago. Ryan and Abby LOVED the inground pool (maybe we will have to get them one). Both kids were jumping off the diving board and Joe would catch them. It was very cute. The real fun started, however, when the adults started doing cannon balls!

Ryan would jump off the diving board, Joe would put him out of the pool, and then he was running to the diving board to do it again!
Abby wanted to be part of the fun!

I am having problems with uploading pictures. I have been trying to update, but my computer and/or the network is not cooperating!
