Today we stopped by the stadium to check out our seats and see where Daddy is going to be spending an awful lot of time this fall. 

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY NINE


On our way home from celebrating Dad we stopped in Lake George to visit some awesome friends. On day two it rained so we explored Fort Ticonderoga (I have no idea if I am spelling that right.. but you get the picture).

Our family released these awesome glowing balloons in honor of Dad last night.

Hiked to the top of Poke-O-Moonshine today with our family to scatter Dad's ashes.  He joins our Pop watching over this spectacular view.

Sometimes it feels like we will never be done with this move.... I can't believe we have to do this again in a year.... :(

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR



Love this little man and his endless snacking.  Here he is enjoying snack number 47.. only 100 more to go today :/

Unpacking and organizing! Absolutely LOVING this display line we got at Ikea.  Kids have been coloring maniacs.

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO


Look what arrived! After much panic and arguing with the moving company they are finally here. Its time to unpack and get settled!

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE


While our walls are drying a trip to Ikea fit the bill for today! Kids are all shopped out and E doesnt  think we will make it home in the car with this haul. I drove behind him the whole way praying, but we made it!!! Now to spend the next month putting all of this together! 

ONE HUNDRED SIXTY


Well what are we to do while we wait for our things? Lets paint! Always wished we had done it in our old house so I let the kids pick out a paint color for their room (with guidance of course) and we got to work! Not sure the kids did much "helping"... I would call it more of a mess making, but we had fun!







ONE HUNDRED FIFTY NINE

Alana's first day of school! She starts a bit before Liam so he was super sad not to be going to school too, but we had fun walking Alana to school. Ps what would your first day be without a super cool ELSA backpack.. haha 

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO



Thought I might get some cute shots of the kids today.  You can see how Liam feels about me constantly pointing the camera at him :( haha ohh well.  Alana was being so sweet taking care of her Baby Georgia, just melted my heart.

ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE


When you stay at YayYa's you have to earn your keep!

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR


We have driven by this Nesting Doll store a bunch of times and I have been dying to go in.  Today we did, and it is solo cute! Alana chose s nesting doll that looks like Elsa from Frozen and Liam chose a little red girl.  I tried for about 30 minutes to persuade him to get a pirate, but after opening probably 15 dolls (the lady wanted to kill him) he finally found one that he liked.  He said the tiniest doll had a pretty face and thats why he liked it... not sure what that says about him, but I was just happy to finally pay before the lady asked us to leave! HAHA

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE





We went to a cute little farm near Mom's house today with one of my best friends and her kids.  I bought her son an ice pop...aaaaaand... I'm pretty sure she us going to kill me! haha

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO


YayYa is a saint for letting us stay with her! This is what the kids have done to her closet today :/ ..oops

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE


Hit up the Fishkill Farmers Market today! Got something pretty for us and something tasty for Daddy to enjoy when he gets to NY in a few days!!

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY


Heard some giggling in the kitchen while I was folding clothes in the bedroom and found this.  SHOCKING... they were playing together, having fun, and all on their own.  Its these sweet moments that get me through the days when they are fighting non-stop. 

ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE





While we are waiting for our West Point housing we have been staying with YayYa (thanks Ma)! For all of you that know and love her, she is a neat freak.  After every shower we have to use this squeegee (sp?) to get the water off the walls and glass.... I hate it... the kids... LOVE it! Who knew? 

ONE HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT



Heading home from the city! Both kids are passed out on me and we are chugging by our next home West Point :) looking forward to moving into our house and getting settled!
