My Girl

Had a chance to take a few pictures of Mallory when the big kids were at Nana’s house & test out a few of my new camera accessories…she doesn’t crawl or walk away…what a sweet model;) How blessed we are.


    
Couldn’t resist the fat bum shot;) only cute when you are this little for sure!
 

It’s a Funny Thing

I try very hard not to compare the kids but it is amazing to see how different they each are….from personality, to quirks, to personal style & just how they view the world. Each are unique in how it all comes together & I love to watch & learn about them every day. They are funny, smart, witty, imaginative, and full of energy. So different, yet so similar. Amazing experience as a parent….and of course neither of us want to take credit for their stubbornness, but we love their individuality and all 3 are full of personality.

An example that struck me recently that I found amusing occurred while we were going through a pre-K workbook. One of the worksheets was a color by letter activity…Fiona went along and matched her crayons with each of the letters and colored in all of the appropriate sections of her picture. Mason also picked his coordinating crayons and colored each of the letters….that is what the directions stated, right? I couldn’t convince him to fill in the spaces since he followed the directions as stated…once again he has proven that there is very little grey in Mason’s world…just black and white. It is what it is. LOVE how they each interpret the world around them.

Of course, where Mason lacks confidence, Fiona makes up for it…getting a little full of herself lately stating to all around her how well she does coloring and that Mason doesn’t color well. Reminding her that it is different, not better but she doesn’t seem to let that stick. Our sweet pea, at least we have a girl with some self esteem, right?…

Monstah CrushStation

Mason & John joined Mason’s friend Matthew & his dad for a testosterone fest at a Monster Truck Show. Part of the publicity before the show included letting fans view the trucks a few days early up close & personal….Attleboro had the CrushStation on site. Although I didn’t have my camera (slacking, I know!), the kids were able to shake the drivers hand, kick the tires & even get an autographed photo!

This particular truck is from Jefferson, Maine so of course I had to mention my semi-roots in the north country and compare notes if we knew any of the same people. Though I have met many a’character throughout Maine none have been involved with this monstah truck. Though one of his crew members is from Bangor….small world of New England.

Anyway, the boys & girls were thrilled with this sighting & Mason & John enjoyed the show…think Fiona wants to go on the next one though;)

Of course I had to send John with a camera & hoped for the best. No pictures of the boys at the show but here are some shots of the action…
