Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Moving


At least someone isn't stressed about it! 


"Sam, what color do you want to paint your room?"
"Can I choose any color?"
"I suppose so..."
"Okay, then gold."
"Oh."

"Mom?"
"Yes, Vivian?"
"You paint a lady Minnie Mouse in my room like this:" (holds up hands to make circles in the air) "and I paint a little, baby Minnie Mouse next to it right on my wall."
"Hmmm..."

"Mom."
"Yes, Vivian."
"Where does our new house live?"
"What?"
"Where does the blue house live?"
"Um, I'm confused..."
"Where does our house now live?"
"Oh! You mean the name of the town!"
Exasperated: "yes mom, I says where does they live!"

Lemonade Stand

They made a decent profit for two hours of selling.  Turns out most people will give a dollar and not want change. Vivian wasn't very attentive to the stand, she left a lot, but Sam wanted to stay out there for hours more and make more lemonade.  Lanie just liked being outside and looking at trees and Sam.

Vivian's Lines

We're in that orderly stage with Vivian where everything is lined up (or parked).  The only thing that is really orderly around here...
 though it makes it a little hard to walk...
