LU-au

It was "Luau day" at Lucy's school today...thankfully, I had this semi-Hawaain-looking dress for her. The teachers told me she had a blast, so much so that she had a hard time calming down when it was over. Hmmm, maybe it was the pineapple daquiris they served the kids ;)

Oh and Phoebe's part of the school (they go to the same school) had "bubbles" day...I have some photos from her teacher that I will post soon.

Six Flags...More Fun

I turned 36 on Saturday...yep, closer to 40 than 30. Oh well...I am so happy with where my life is right now that I am not going to complain about being a year older. To celebrate my birthday, we did something a little different and took the kids to Six Flags New England. Lucy had a blast and Phoebe even had some fun as well. But judging from my goofy grin in these photos, it looks like I enjoyed myself a whole lot, too.
