This is our skeleton. His name is Peach and he is a Halloween decoration, but Kate has been playing with him daily, so he's still hanging around. Poor guy isn't doing so well, but Kate is trying to save him.<br />

Reagan had her last orthopedic visit with Dr. Micheli in Boston. He is an awesome doctor (he's the official doctor for the Boston Ballet), but I'm happy that we don't have to go back anytime soon. She had to wear these silly shorts for her appointment so that he could see her legs and feet without pants in the way.<br />

These kids worked with a bunch of others to put together bags of food and personal care items for the local families living in homeless shelters. I really want to make a point of finding more service projects for us; I think it's important and definitely an area that I have not spent enough time pursuing with the kids.<br />

They all had so much fun trick or treating this year.<br />
<br />
I wasn't able to get pictures of Kate with the triplets, but they stuck together and it was really nice for Kate to trick or treat with kids her age. They tired out at the same time too, perfect!<br />
<br />
I think the whip and nae nae song is the most memorable tune of the year for our household. Here is a video of our trick or treating crew doing their own rendition, complete with a little dancing:<br />

Once again Halloween fell on the weekend, and we had a lot of people at our house after trick or treating. Those that dared to bob for apples got a little wet, but they had a lot of fun. Reagan did very well; check her out in this video:<br />

Yikes! Collin, Reagan, the Finlaw kids, James Phenix, and occasionally a few other friends (Miranda, Madison, and Karlie) have been part of the levels. Kate was very content to stay with Grandma or Isabel while we did this; she doesn't even like to go near the Halloween aisle ("scary ection") in Target! I already posted about our<a href="http://superheroesandprincesses.blogspot.com/2015/10/september-stuff.html?zx=d78f7d8f6f433324"> trip to the haunted hayride at Almeida's,</a> that was the first level (although that does not make it any less scary! I honestly think it may have been the scariest now that I look back at all of the events), and there have been a few more adventures.<br />

Tom's rules:<br />
1. If Addie goes, her Daddy goes<br />
2. If you go for the ride, you go inside<br />
3. If you have to pee, don't pee on me<br />
4. If Christy (me) goes, Becky (Finlaw) goes<br />
<br />
Ha ha ha! The kids loved these rules. <br />

Originally, I had no interest in any of this and really didn't want to participate, but it ended up being so much fun because we were all together with good friends.

We went to the Halloween dance at North. Collin didn't want to go at first, but he was asked to help run one of the games and he thought that would be fun. After the fact, he said it wasn't fun, but I'm still happy he helped out. This is the game he ran:<br />

While Tom was at the parade with Kate, I was at Reagan's last field hockey game of the season. I didn't get any good pictures. I'm kicking myself for not thinking to take a picture of all of the girls together that day.<br />

Kate received a gift card to the store from the Davidson boys for her birthday. Funny thing - I had considered taking her to the store for her birthday, but I decided to take her to Disney on Ice instead, so the gift card was awesome because she got to do both!</div>

We ended September with an early start on Halloween horrors! Almeida's haunted hayride had some of us in stitches laughing, while some did not find it funny at all. A few tears were shed that night, but it was fun to have a big group and overall it was entertaining.<br />

She wanted a puppy themed party. This is the first year that we had a party with friends for Kate. She was a little grumpy for a good portion of the day; I think she was very overwhelmed, but she came around and had fun.</div>

<li>She is 40 inches tall and weighs 33 pounds.</li>
<li>Kate is very advanced in her speech, but I still love the words she mixes up (vanilla = danilla, Dave & Buster's = Bustin Davers, section = ection like the "scary ection" at the Halloween store that Kate prefers to avoid, our dog friend Nutmeg is Nugmet).</li>
<li>She can whip and nae nae!!! Kate loves popular music; her favorite artist is Taylor Swift and her favorite song is "Bad Blood".</li>
<li>Kate is a big fan of the cartoon Peppa Pig. </li>
<li>She has quite the sweet tooth.</li>
<li>W sitting is what she does all day long.</li>
<li>Kate prefers dresses and rarely wears pants. </li>
<li>She still sleeps in a crib. This is a first for us; the boys were out of their cribs before the age of two, and Reagan was in a bed just before her third birthday. Kate loves her crib.</li>
<li>Kate loves animals more than any person I have ever known. She always tells me that she wants to be a veterinarian. </li>
<li>She doesn't like me to leave the room without her; she is my shadow.</li>
<li>Kate doesn't really like to share, but she plays well with other kids as long as they don't touch her stuff. She likes the daycare at the gym and enjoys playing with other kids while I take my yoga and pilates classes. She is good about sharing toys there.</li>
<li>She insists on lots of hugs and kisses whenever anyone is leaving, and she is incredibly happy when Collin and Reagan come home from school.</li>
<li>Kate loves to go places, but she is also content to be home. </li>
<li>She has a great personality and I have so much fun spending my days with her. I love her to the moon and back!</li>

I have been making pancakes on the first day of school for a few years now. I made Collin a six pancake since he is in sixth grade this year. Reagan had pancakes too, but somehow I totally forgot to make her a four pancake. Collin was already on his way to school when Reagan had her pancakes, so I guess we were just caught up in the new routine and Reagan got plain old circle shaped pancakes.<br />

I am SO FAR behind on posting. I considered just skipping all of the stuff that happened and just going forward, but I'm way too sentimental to leave anything out. Here's a look at the second half of August.</div>

My cousin Sandra visited from Florida. Collin, Reagan, Kate and I had a great time with her. The kids swam in the pool at her hotel and we went to Panera for lunch.<br />

I purchased two of these huge containers to fill, and we didn't even fill one. It was just too hot and the pickings were too slim. We did get enough to make our favorite blueberry muffins and blueberry pie!<br />

Reagan had a great summer of gymnastics with this group of girls. I think they are all still together for this season. Reagan is competing at the Xcel Silver level this year and this means that she is now competing sanctioned. I don't know enough about gymnastics to know what this really means, but my explanation is that her scores are more meaningful and will be used to determine eligibility in meets. (FYI: the two girls in the front middle are half of a set of quadruplets!)<br />

Kate had her very first soccer game. She is having fun being part of a team. Kate runs back and forth with her team, but she isn't really interested in getting too close to the ball yet. She is happy to go in whenever her coach calls her though!<br />

They had a blast! After a few hours there, we all went to Chili's (Collin's choice) for dinner and then the kids came back to our house for cake and a sleepover.</div>

Eleven years old! <br />
<br />
We decided that since it was his birthday and he is about to enter middle school and that means more after school activities, it was time for a cell phone. He is younger than Tyler was when he got his first phone, but a lot has changed in the last few years, and it certainly seems to be necessary. So far, he has been very responsible with it and I have no complaints. I hope that continues. He doesn't carry it with him all the time; he is often out and about in the neighborhood without his phone because he just doesn't need it when he's out playing. Tom and I found a great <a href="http://looslifamily.blogspot.com/2015/03/kids-and-technology.html">technology contract</a> online that we modified for our own purposes. You can find it<a href="http://looslifamily.blogspot.com/2015/03/kids-and-technology.html"> here </a>if you are interested: http://looslifamily.blogspot.com/2015/03/kids-and-technology.html. <br />
<br />
Eleven things about Collin:<br />
1. Every summer he looks forward to attending different camps where he often does not know anyone. It doesn't bother him one bit that he will go into this situation alone. This amazes me every year because it doesn't seem to fit his personality, but he goes without reservation and has a great time. <br />
<br />
2. He still loves to snuggle.<br />
<br />
3. Collin recently decided that he is a vegetarian because he doesn't like the idea of eating animals. I love this because he sees eating animals as an injustice and he has decided to follow his heart. I should mention that he has not become a healthy eater; he's still as picky as ever and shuns most vegetables. <br />
<br />
4. He still enjoys reading.<br />
<br />
5. He has not complained about the mandatory summer packets for school. I have complained about them quite a bit, but he hasn't.<br />
<br />
6. When his friends are over, he almost always includes his sisters in whatever they are playing.<br />
<br />
7. Collin has awesome freckles. He hates them, but I love them. He has the perfect amount sprinkled across his nose.<br />
<br />
8. This summer I have witnessed him sticking up for himself and others, and I am very proud that he is not afraid to speak his mind when someone is acting inappropriately.<br />
<br />
9. He has worked hard at his tennis lessons this summer.<br />
<br />
10. He has a wicked sweet tooth. <br />
<br />
11. If I let him, he would get Dunkin Donuts every day! A plain bagel toasted with butter and a Boston Cream doughnut are his favorite items.<br />

I just found these pictures and realized I never posted them! Collin attended Strings Camp earlier this summer from 9-11 each morning. He enjoyed the camp, and it was the most he has practiced EVER, so it was great all around.</div>

Reagan had cooking camp at the same time. Over the course of the week, she made muffins, smoothies, hummus, BLT sandwiches, vegetarian chili, a pasta dish, s'mores cake, watermelon sorbet, and plenty more. She loved it and we loved tasting what she made!<br />

This was a HUGE day for Kate because it was the first time she swam in a pool without clinging to someone. She LOVED it and stayed in the pool for hours. I'm so proud of her for being so brave, and I am happy that she had so much fun.<br />

Reagan, Kate, and I went to see <i>Mary Poppins</i> at the Zeiterion. It was a great show, so good that even though it was three hours long, we all enjoyed every minute. The musical numbers were fantastic, especially the chimney sweep number.</div>

Collin went to Audubon Camp last week while Reagan was at writing camp, and they are both attending writing camp this week. They have spent TONS of time just hanging out with kids in the neighborhood. This is the first summer that they have spent a majority of their time having fun with their friends and very little time doing activities with me. It's hard to see them grow up, but they are having a blast and I am very grateful for all of the opportunities they have and for all of the kids that they call friends.</div>

We knew of a few other kids going, and the girls were super excited when we bumped into Allison. All three girls picked the same concert shirt.<br />

When we entered the stadium, we were given bracelets that flashed different colors to the music. They made for a very cool concert experience. Here is Reagan's flashing red:<br />

This was definitely one of my favorite concerts for so many reasons. Taylor Swift is an excellent performer, and she was very entertaining. The set, the lights, the costumes - they were all perfect! I loved that she had little video clips throughout the concert showing interviews of some of her friends talking about her. There was one video of her with her cats that was very funny. I also liked that she talked a lot; some of what she said was a little corny, but for the most part, I found it interesting. Taylor talked about past concerts at Gillette which made it seem very personal to the audience; I knew this going in (because Tom told me), but she told the audience that Gillette was the first stadium she sold out and she also talked about it pouring at Gillette one year for the entire show! She came on stage around 9:20 PM and performed for about two hours. We sang and danced almost the whole time. The best part of the concert was watching Reagan enjoy it so much! <br />
<br />
There were three opening acts - Shawn Mendes, Vance Joy, and HAIM; we enjoyed the first two acts, but didn't care for HAIM. We saw a lot of people wearing costumes (tutus, shirts that lit up, cat costumes, to name a few), but I think my favorite concert attire was worn by a couple of older women (60s maybe?); they had shirts that read, "We Never Go Out of Style" - AWESOME! We had floor seats, and everyone around us was nice. The girls ate frozen lemonade, popcorn, cheeseburgers, and cotton candy - ha! - kids are so funny at events, they always want to eat everything in sight!<br />
<br />
Tom got the tickets, drove us to the concert, hung around and waited for us while we watched the concert, and then drove us all home. I'm not the only one who declared him father and husband of the year!Christy Killoranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159841014641280973noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168329839063641038.post-81307393394989350282015-07-28T10:35:00.000-04:002015-07-28T10:35:49.798-04:00Butterflies and Chromotography<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have quite a lot going on this summer. I always debate whether to sign up for a bunch of things or keep it to a minimum. The best summer for us is one full of new things to try and still plenty of time for family fun. I think of summer as the best time to try new activities, learn things that are not taught in school, and spend time with friends and family. So, that is what we are doing!</div>

Field hockey started for Reagan last week. She loves this sport. I'm glad she does because it is popular in town and she will be able to try out for the middle school team in a few years. Field hockey is once a week for two hours.</div>

Yesterday, Reagan went to Edaville with Auntie Cyn, Uncle George, and Riley. They had a great time! It was very hot, so the rest of us decided to go to the beach instead of the amusement park. Reagan said it was a lot of fun though, and she loved hanging out with Riley. <br />

Collin started his second robotics camp this week; he did a week of robotics at the high school right after school ended. This week, he is at Wheeler, a private school in Providence and Seekonk, three hours a day. He showed me a video about a robot named Jibo that is so very cool; I want one!<br />
