Apple Picking

One of the many things I love about Maine are the u-pick farms. Last night we went apple picking. We picked over 50 pounds of apples off of a few trees (I am planning on making apple sauce). The kids liked sampling the apples as much as picking them.

Preschool

Carson has started preschool. He goes two days a week for 2.5 hours. I decided to enroll him this spring to save my sanity and his. He was so bored when Nathan got on the bus and I couldn't play with him all day. I think this will give him something to look forward to each week. These pictures are from the open house where Carson got to see the classroom, meet the teacher, and play with the toys. He really liked the kitchen with the pretend food. Jack came with us and loved getting into all the toys too. He was so funny, making that goofy face at anyone who would look his way. Carson is ready to be a little more independent and I hope he has a great year.

Blue Angels

We live near Brunswick Naval Air Station and have many military families that attend church with us. The base is closing in a few years and we will miss our military friends. This was the last year the Blue Angels were going to preform at the air show and someone gave us tickets to the practice. In retrospect, I shoulnd't have brought the baby because it was so loud even with ear plugs. The Blue Angels were awesome. They fly unbelievably close and do some amazing stunts. Nathan and Carson liked it when two planes flew at eachother head on, only to turn at the last moment to avoid a crash.

First Day of School

Nathan started second grade yesterday. While we were waiting for the bus, he kept saying that his belly hurt. Nerves. He also lost his second tooth that day. So many changes for a little boy.
