A Great Day at the Orchard!!!

Today was an awesome day! It was a field-trip day for Jacob. His first field trip in kindergarten! The trip was to Doles Orchard. I was lucky enough to be able to chaperone this trip! We had a great time learning all about pests of the orchard, had a hay ride, picked a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch and played in the straw maze! It was an awesome day!!!!

Smile, Happy Boy!

Carter is a very curious little boy, who can often entertain himself.....or should I say, get it trouble by himself! If I even take a minute to do something like: put a load of laundry in the washer or bring a basket of clean laundry upstairs, I can return to find him doing something that he shouldn't be doing. I must clarify this by saying that anything that could harm him is secured by child safety locks.....yet he still seems to find himself in the middle of disaster. I have a perfect example for you....yesterday, while I was bringing groceries downstairs to put in our freezer, I returned to find a kitchen drawer totally emptied and Carter was sitting in it. I really wasn't sure how to react except to have him sit still while I grabbed the camera!!!! Carter.....you are so much fun, little boy!

My Not So Little Maxwell

Yesterday was a pretty exciting day for the Creedon Family! Maxwell had his 1st day of Nursery School! For those that are lucky to know Max, know that he has spent virtually no time away from me in his 3 1/2 years! So.....this event promised to be a mixed bag of emotions. We put Jacob on the school bus and got ready for Nursery School. We got in the van and talked a little bit on the way about Carter and Me dropping him off and coming home to do laundry and less desirable chores and after that we would be back to get him. He seemed to be quiet and processing all of it....which to be honest, worried me a bit. As we walked into his Nursery School he looked at me and said, "Mom, it's a pretty exciting day, isn't it?" That boy just melts my heart! We were the last ones to get there and we went in and he was warmly welcomed and seemed to be very curious. It was exciting. He got really quiet and found a bin of Rescue Heroes....he looked at me and showed me one that he doesn't have. I asked him if I could have a hug and a kiss before Carter and I left...he gave a quick hug and kiss and didn't even seem bothered by the face that we were leaving. I walked out....knowing that he was about to start out on an adventure that would be so exciting and memorable for him! I love you, Max!!!!

Good-bye Summer......

As a part of me coming to terms with the reality that Summer is Maine is GONE! I scrapped a page that I think, just may be one of my favorites! It is of the boys eating their popsicles at Epcot on a VERY hot day of our vacation. I have been trying to do some different things in my scrappin' to add some variety to my pages. I like this one! I am so glad that I have the good memories of that wonderful vacation with my family!

A Vacation to Remember!

Just two short weeks ago we were just coming home from a very magical family vacation at Walt Disney World. I haven't had a chace to scrap any pages yet because things have been so busy with Jacob starting kindergarten and everything that goes along with that! But today, I was inspired to start my Walt Disney World August 2010 scrapbook. I am so pleased with my first page that I am pretty sure this album is going to take me a LLLLOOOONNNNNGGGG time to complete! We had such a wonderful time and I got over 1,200 pictures....I have a feeling this is going to be a big album!!!! Make it a great week!

Always remember....I love you!

Lots of changes and new experiences lately have got me thinking about what is really important in my life. I made this page for my 5 year old, Jacob. He will probably never see it or understand why I created it, but it is for him.....it will serve as a reminder to me as to why I get up everyday! I love you, Jacob!

A Taste of Fall....while Summer is Still Here!

What a beautiful Summer we have had in Maine.....one of the best I can recall! It was topped off this week by some apple picking! My boys and I were checking on our 2nd home a couple of towns over and on our way home we passed by our very favorite apple orchard, Doles Orchard. When we were listing what we would miss most about not living in Waterboro anymore the 2nd thing on our list was the fact that we would miss Doles Orchard terribly (the number one thing was missing the Arsenault family). I saw the sign....."Now picking: Apples".....I couldn't drive in the driveway fast enough.....I looked in my rear view mirror and both Jacob and Max's faces lit right up! "Are we picking apples, Mom" Jacob screamed!!! "You bet we are." I replied! They were so excited! The early macs weren't available, but it didn't stop us! We picked 2 pecks of apples in record time!!!! We had a great time at the orchard!!!
