Mason's 2nd lost tooth!


Mason Ruby Lieberman's 2nd tooth came out shortly after the first one. And two adult teeth have already popped up in the missing teeth's places. She still looks super cute.  Awwww.

The littlest gymnast



Mason switched gyms this year and is now taking gymnastics at Breystans. Which is a serious gym in Burlington. Move over little gym....something bigger is here!

It is a serious class and she has learned so much in just the past 7 weeks. Her cartwheel is much improved. She's climbing a proper gym rope. She's backbending all over the place. And she's working on her handstand. I'm impressed. No doubt.

Just Boo being Boo





I just HAD to post these. No special reason. No good story. Just these shots. Of Boo being Boo.

Mason's First Lost Tooth!


Mason Ruby Lieberman lost her first tooth, Yom Kippur morning, October 4, 2014. She was 6-years-old at the time.

She said she woke up and it felt all wiggly. So she pulled it out.

The tooth fairy gave her $2!

And she also got a charm bracelet from Mommy and Daddy. What a cutie patootie.

I have to admit, I got a little choked up at the thought of my baby losing her first tooth. I mean, before I know it she'll be driving. Jeeeeesh. Slow down sistah!

VO Fall Festival

This year I worked the pumpkin painting station again. Woo-hoo! Yay for Fall! 





Raspberry picking



The kids were way more into it this year. And able to pick their own. Even little Boo managed to pick a few that I pointed were red ruby in color! When we went to check out, Mason's whole raspberry bucket was full of mud. And raspberries. Are you even the least bit surprised?

Girls Night!

Mason had been wanting to go out on a girl's night forever! I finally got my act together and asked all of the appropriate invintees...Grandma, Aunt Jennie and Aunt Lena. And of course, the lovely Skye. Mason suggested we all go to the 99 since "I don't think any grown ups would want to go to McDonalds. Wise choice Mase. 

We all had a blast. It was our waitress's 21st birthday so she gave Mason and Skye her Elsa crown and wand that was given to her. I'm not sure if they were more excited about that or the popcorn. Total toss-up.



Let's go Pats!

So far it's been a rocky season for the 2014/15 Pats. After an embarrasing Monday night loss to the Chiefs people were calling for trading Brady and bringing in Garapolo. And cursing Billy B for trading away Mankins at the last second. It was chaos. And madness.

And then the Pats started winning again.

Despite the loss of Mayo and Ridley for the season, they beat up the Bengals and eeked by the Jets and are now 5-2 (with losses to Miami and KC) and are on the ups. I think.

Let's go Pats!




As a side note...the other day Jacob came back from this after school, "Jim Sports" program where he was playing soccer outside.

Me:  Did you have fun?
Jacob: Yeah! I was tackling kids like Vince Wilfork. And growling at them and taking them out and saying, "Grrrrrr".
Me:  But Vince Wilfork doesn't play soccer. Wrong sport bud.
Jacob:  But he's still huge and awesome.

Skye also started school this year. We weren't sure if we were going to send her because of her fall birthday...we could have waited a year. But though, eh, it will be good for her. She's pretty much been surgically attached to my hip since birth. She's addicted to me. And me to her. So I guess, in reality I thought it would be good for both of us. And it has been.

Now she's been in school for about 1 1/2 months now and she loves it. I think. Some days she still says that she doesn't want to go to school. Because she wants to stay in her PJs and hang out with me. But who wouldn't?

She goes Mon, Wed and Fridays from 9-12. Her teachers are Sarah and Linda and she has 7 other little friends in her class. She paints. Plays with play-doh. Reads books. And plays with babies. All things that Mason and Jacob wish they were still doing instead of learning to read.

Here are some pics of my little hookie head on her first day of pre-school. And yes, she chose the outfit. As she does EVERY day.




FIRST GRADE!

The twins started first grade in September and so far so good. Jacob is upstairs with Ms. Pierce and Mase is downstairs with Mrs. Rizzuti. It's definitely been a good start tot he year. The first day of school they were excited. But sad that they were not going to be in class with Mrs. Freimont and Mrs. T. They were definitely a little bit nervous. But they did it! And are growing by leaps and bounds. They are learning to read and the progress had been truly amazing. Well, at least I think so. But that's just the "absolutely proud of anything they do" in me talking. They have each got chosen for a "golden" ticket award so far and Jacob chose "Show and Tell" and brought in Skye. And Mason chose to "wear her pajamas to school" and sported her all in one Zebras all day.

It's always a challenge getting them out of the house in the morning. They always want to play. And not eat breakfast. Or get dressed. Or do anything you need to do to get ready for school.

Me:  C'mon, you can build an angry bird tower later. It's time to get dressed.

Mason: We hate school!

Me:  What do you mean you HATE school? I thought you loved Mrs. Rizutti?!?

Mason:  No! All she does is make us work ALL DAY. We spend the whole day learning how to read and write!

Duuuh. That's what you DO in school Mason. Poor girl totally had the wool pulled over her eyes with the kindergarten year. Silly.

Here are pics from their first day. Awwww.
