Day out with Thomas

Well, it's been an interesting September. I managed to do some more rows on a scarf I started before my daughter was born. I'm also getting ready to sew a tree skirt quilt. Hopefully I'll get it in time for Thanksgiving. I just need a weekend to do it (wish me luck).

My niece had her Baptism this month. She looked so cute in her dresses. My kids looked great, too. I managed to surprise everyone by wearing a dress in a color that is not black.

For my birthday, we went away for the weekend for our annual Day Out With Thomas. It's always fun to see my son's face when he sees Thomas. This time he wasn't scared and wanted to go on the train again. This was my daughter's first time other than when I was pregnant with her.

This time I was able to enjoy the Smorgasboard for dinner. When I was pregnant, I couldn't eat from morning sickness.

I can't believe how much fun I have with my family. I really treasure these moments.

Another update....

Okay...Okay....I know I haven't been very good at keeping my blog updated on a regular basis but here's my update.

The family went to Sesame Place and had a wonderful time. We left on a Tuesday and had planned to return on Thursday but on Wednesday afternoon it had started to rain steadily. Sesame Place has a sunny day guarantee so we had an extra day free. We decided to not go Thursday (it was cold) and go on Friday. We were able to get an extra night at the hotel.

Jack loved Sesame Place and wasn't scared of the characters. Sabrina did surprisingly well and didn't mind going in the water. We had so much fun for place so close to home. Also, that's when my son decided he wanted to start using the toilet. He's finally potty trained. YAY!!!

I decided one Sunday to have a picnic at Liberty State Park. We invited my in-laws so they can see Jack ride his bike. It was hard at first for him but then he got the hang of it. Since that Sunday, we have been going on these picnics with the in-laws as well as my sister-in-law's family, my sister, and my parents. My husband and I have taken out our bikes and my Father-in-law has taken out his bikes. It's cute to see my son go out for a ride with his Dad and Grandpa.

For Labor Day weekend, we went up to my parents place in the Catskills. We had so much have. The girls and guys split up. The girls went to fairs and flea markets while the boys went golfing. My son was so cute. He also managed to get a frog but he let it go (Thank God!).

Well that's all for now...till next time.
