We're Moving!

We have purchased a foreclosure property in Alfred and have decided to live there instead of rent.  We will be renting our current home instead.  Many factors entered into our decision to move.  One, being the location, much closer to town and Pat's work (Pat is also happy that he will be 5 minutes from his hunting location!).  We wanted more land and now we have five acres.  And, this house has lots of space, 2600 sq. ft.  It's an older home, early 1800's, with a newer addition, a large barn, and lots of character and potential!  With some much needed remodeling and TLC, it's going to be a worthwhile investment and a great home.  We closed this afternoon and let the fun begin!

Spring is in the air!

Plastic bottle stamping

 Stamp the bottom of a plastic soda bottle in paint and stamp the cap to make the center of the flower.  To make it look pretty and neat, it required some help on my part. :) 

I gave Charlotte the bottle and let her do her own flower stamping (see below)

 Handprint Tulips

Love her tulip pants!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Charlotte!

Maine Maple Sunday

 Cows, pigs, tractors, pancakes with maple syrup and maple whoopie pies at Hilltop Boilers in Newfield.

Princess Party!

Cool shades!

 Loves her babies

 I think she has a sweet tooth

First, she gets into the cake with her fingers,

 then while she is eating her own piece of cake with ice cream, she gets into the cake again,

and then takes some from Daddy's dish!  Happy Birthday, beautiful girl.  You deserve it!  

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We are very LUCKY to have this silly little girl in our lives!

Potato Print Shamrocks

Since potatoes are an Irish staple food, what better way to paint our St. Patrick's Day shamrocks!

Read Across America Day ~ Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

 Every morning after Charlotte wakes up, she grabs at least one thing from her room to bring downstairs.  This morning it happened to be a Dr. Seuss book.  She gets downstairs and immediately sits down to look at her book.  She loves Dr. Seuss! 
Since it is Read Across America Day, I thought it would be a good idea to go to Limerick library's storytime. We read, sang, danced, played ball and parachute, and colored.

We also made Cat in the Hat's Hat to honor Dr. Seuss' birthday.   

 Charlotte did lots of painting using a brush and sponge and she did a very good job. 

 Charlotte loves clean up time!

 Ta-da!
