A wonderful weekend

First, let me begin by giving a very, very special THANK YOU to my nephew Ben. He made a certain little 8yr old thrilled beyond words!! Also a HUGE birthday hug to Ben today too!! Hope you have a great day!!

We went to the Portland Pirates game on Friday night. The night that would determine if they would be in the play-offs or not. We all had a fabulous time. The game was excellent, kept you on the edge of your seat. At one point the Pirates were behind, Robbie and Tiz went to look at Pirate jerseys for sale, he ended up getting her one (gulp, again thank you Ben). From that point on the game got even more exciting and the Pirates won! Tiz insists that it was because she got a shirt and it brought good luck!!! I got a video of the end of the game and Tiz's reaction to the winning, but unsure if I could post it or not. Below are pictures of the game though:


Yes, of course he's on his phone

Tiz's new Pirates shirt

Cheering at a goal, can you see the excitement in her eyes?

No this isn't a cheer, I do believe its a jeer


After the game, tired but happy

ZONKED OUT!!

Today is Easter, and Robyn proves that you're never too old to hunt for eggs!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and a great weekend. The sun is out shining bright, not as warm as it was Friday, but I'm not complaining. The mud is drying and the days are much longer.

Again, thank you Ben!!!

Spring!!!!

Today I went to Hodgdon's to have lunch with Robbie. We got sandwiches at one of our favorite places, East Boothbay General Store. They have the best sandwiches!! When I was about to leave, Hodgdon's Parking lot, I noticed by the door..................crocuses!!!! Purple and white crocus!! That means Spring is really here, right???

I'm going to take a moment to brag, because I'm VERY proud to say that Robyn made the 2nd trimester HONOR ROLL!!! WOOHOO!! HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE. Robyn has always been an okay student, but not one to really apply herself, and managed to squeak by. Well last semester she just missed it, but this semester she really applied herself!! YIPEEE......course, her motivation was that if she got honor roll this semester and the last semester, that we would pay half her drivers ed in June (gulp, yup you read that right) and if she made High Honors - we'd pay for the whole thing. So she got her "blue card" and can now miss 1/2 day of school, plus she gets other benefits too, think she gets a discount at a few stores in town and movie theatre. CONGRATULATIONS ROBYN, WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT ALL ALONG!!!

Finally, here is what the girls did to their dad for April Fools joke!!! LOL!!!
