Two of My favorite Things!

At the risk of sounding very redundant....I love Summer.....I also love apple picking with my family! The other day, I got to enjoy BOTH of those things on the same day! LOL It was 82 degrees in Maine (you read correctly, that was 82 degrees in Maine on September 27th). It was awesome! We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head out to the apple orchard after Jacob got home from school. One of our very favorite things about living where we used to live was the the BEST orchard in existence was right down the road from us. Moving away from Doles Orchard was hard..... we live close to an orchard now....but it doesn't come close to comparing to Doles Orchard! We are getting used to the "new" orchard, but the boys still miss and talk about Doles! We had a great time picking apples in the heat! We had a great time!

Summer is Back!

I am one happy girl! Today was 82 degrees! LOL You know how much I *LOVE* summer! So, I had to take the opportunity to scrap another page from this summer! It is supposed to be 70+ degrees for most of this week! I am super excited! The longer this warm weather sticks around, the longer it will be until we have to think about firing up our woodstove for the first time this season! Don't get me wrong, I love my woodstove, but I love warm weather even more! Warm weather is much cheaper in Maine than cold weather is! LOL So, here's to one more page from summer......I hope that this warm weather inspires me to do more!

Soccer in the Rain......

Today was week 2 of soccer for us! It rained all night and was raining this morning. Who knew that they played soccer for 4 and 6 year olds in the rain! LOL I guess my suspicion that I am not a good soccer Mom was confirmed this morning when I didn't have an umbrella and cool rain boots to wear while I watched the game! Instead, Carter and I sat in the rain and I tried to hide my camera.....because of that I didn't get any photos. But I do have some photos from last week that I just finished up! Here is a layout from Jacob's 1st game! Today's games were great! Jacob has a super time and Max is really learning the game and enjoying himself!

Let Soccer Season Begin!

Soccer season has officially started! I learned a few things this week! I am no soccer mom and this is going to take a bit of getting used to! LOL WOW! What a crazy group! The boys did have fun at their first practices and first games! It was a good time!

Let the Apple Picking Being!

I know that I mention WAY TOO MUCH that I love Summer, so hopefully this is the last time you will hear it from me for a while, because let's admit.....Summer in Maine is OVER! The good news is: Apple Picking Season is HERE! Max and I were lucky enough to go apple picking last weekend with my Mom (Max's Grammy) and my Aunt Elaine and our friend Randy. It was my Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jimmy's last day in Maine, so we had to send them off in true Maine style! We had a great time picking apples and checking out the pumpkins! We had a great time with Aunt Elaine and Uncle Jimmy this summer and were sad to see them go!

Back Into a School Routine.....

The Creedon Home is trying to get back into a school routine! We are adjusting, but here are some of the things we don't like:

a. having to go to bed at 8:00pm
b. having to wear socks and shoes instead of sandals
c. having to get up at 7:00am (I finally had them trained to sleep beyond 7:00)

There are many more things that we don't like about summer ending, but we are adjusting to the fall routine! We are enjoying freshly picked apples from the local orchard and going out to play with very few bugs trying to bite us!

Here's to a fun and fabulous fall!

September is here already?

How did that happen? I am not ready for Summer to be over! We had a great summer! We made lots of trips to the beach and had a great time! I must say, I love fall! What I don't like about it is that winter follows it! I am excited about some trips to the orchard to pick apples! The boys love the orchard and we have gotten some of our best photos there! I hate for summer to end, but am already looking forward to next summer!
