Doing fun stuff in the city. Monday, September 29, 2014. Okay so it isn't really hiking but this path up Nira Rock is one street over from us. Supposedly there is an orchard up here with apple and pear trees! We could not find them. Thursday, September 18, 2014. These are just a few pictures of Madeleine and Vivian playing in our urban backyard. Followed by dinner of course. Sunday, September 14, 2014. LET IT GO.". Saturday, September 13, 2014.

Doing fun stuff in the city. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. This is my favorite picture from Gramma's recent visit:. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Mimi bought some scooters like Alexa and Jacks and the girls love them! Vivian doing what she does. We did some fishing. Madeleine caught a bass and both girls caught lots of crawfish! Madeleine caught a bass! We played at the local beach. They both LOVED Gappy and Gus's house! Back in Waupca we did a tour of the chain on the Chief Hiawatha. They collected lots of candy.

Madeleine and Vivian: December 2014
http://richieandpatty.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Doing fun stuff in the city. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. We drove up to Maine to see Cat and Andy and watch Nick play some hockey. Stephanie and Mike and Sarah met us too and we had fun trying to catch up! The rest of this post is all Vivian. She took the pictures! 2014 is So Over! I generally just ask her what she thinks and she always has a much better answer than I do! Other questions include, why do we eat eggs and not let them grow into chicks? Can mice smell flowers in heaven? Her temper can be e...

Madeleine and Vivian: April 2015

Doing fun stuff in the city. Thursday, April 30, 2015. A Trip to Freeport. Vivian and I made a quick trip to Freeport to help Jack celebrate his birthday this weekend. Vivian bought herself a phone and took a picture of me at lunch. I love this series. Jack has got holding a Nerf gun down. Vivian is still not getting it. Jack is trying to show her how to hold it sideways. We got up close and personal with Stephanie's neighbor Darby. Next time we are keeping Charlotte. Monday, April 20, 2015. As I was fal...

Madeleine and Vivian: Story Land 2015
http://richieandpatty.blogspot.com/2015/08/story-land-2015.html
Doing fun stuff in the city. Saturday, August 8, 2015. As much fun as we have with our new obsession of stacking cups, we decided to surprise the kids with a Kids-Only-Weekend. All things kids. All weekend long. I am totally sure they will appreciate this and love it. We headed up to North Conway, New Hampshire. This is a pretty easy getaway for us with lots of kids things to do. Vivian was in. Madeleine is a full on grown-up these days. We have our tickets and our candy jewelry. No wait, that could never.

Madeleine and Vivian: January 2015
http://richieandpatty.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Doing fun stuff in the city. Saturday, January 31, 2015. My little bright eyes turned 5 today! We invited both of the K1 classes and threw a party at the Brookline Puppet Showplace Theater. We had nearly 60 kids and parents attend! All Richard's idea too, he chose the venue and suggested we request donations for her class. We collected about 25 boxes of markers, 30 bottles of Elmer's glue, some #2 pencils, a case of post-it notes, cases of Kleenex and much more. I was so impressed! The girls were thrille...

Madeleine and Vivian: October 2014
http://richieandpatty.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Doing fun stuff in the city. Friday, October 31, 2014. Along with 97% of the kid population both girls wanted to be Elsa this year. Vivian was really into the fake hair and she really wanted this wig to work but it was super itchy and weird after about 30 seconds. We hit the streets of JP early this year and what a huge difference that makes! We beat the chaos and we're done by 4:00! This is where we always end up. Walking the wall. On the verge of exhaustion. Saturday, October 25, 2014. It was crazy out...

Madeleine and Vivian: June 2014
http://richieandpatty.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Doing fun stuff in the city. Saturday, June 28, 2014. Vivian is really becoming quite the little lady (drama queen). We were walking to the library this evening and she stopped and posed on this bench "Mom take my picture! She wanted to make sure she looked stylish. Afterwards she took pictures of Madeleine and I and told us how to pose "put your hands here, hug each other, smell the flower, do this.". At least she isn't telling. Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Saturday, June 21, 2014. Thursday, June 19, 2014.

Madeleine and Vivian: February 2015

Doing fun stuff in the city. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Vivian wanted me to find her this morning. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Winter 2015 Go Away. So far we have about 70 inches of snow on the ground. The kids have missed 8 days of school. This will be a winter to remember. I am sure at some point in the future we will remember it fondly but as of now it kind of sucks. Thank goodness Mimi is here! The girls went sledding on the snow we shoveled.
