Did someone say SNOW?

Living in New England we have plenty of chances to enjoy the winter weather. I started skiing when I was four and spent a lot of time with my family skiing and going to the mountains on vacations. Skiing brings back many fond memories for me. Last year I got Miss O up to the mountain t take a lesson and she loved it! This year I decided it was time to get back on the slopes after 12 years! I think it will be so much fun with the kids and something fun and active to do during the winter months. We went to the big ski sale this weekend and got ourselves geared up! Mr. B's skis are the smallest and cutest things I have ever seen! They could pass as snowshoes! This morning he ventured to the garage and lugged everything in. I tried it all on him just to get some pics. Nothing like pajamas and skis in the morning! It was a struggle to get his helmet and boots off of him he loved them so much. He keeps talking about his "skateboards". I can't imagine when we take him on the snow.....

My little man...
Ready to go...
Wooo hoooo!!!

Now all we need is some snow!!!!

Fall is here!

A couple of weekends back we made out first apple picking trip of the season! We have a great city owned farm less than a mile from our house and they have hayrides, apple cider, and the works. Mr. B had a blast although I was a bit scared he would run off and disappear into the apple trees! Miss O brought along our neighbor and we all had a lot of fun!

Next weekend is Mr. Wonderful's Dad's 70th birthday! To celebrate we had a little party at our house for the family. We ordered from one of our favorite Italian restaurants for dinner, I made crab dip, The Pioneer Woman's stuffed mushrooms, homemade salsa...we had lots of great food! He was totally surprised!

Me and the birthday boy!
