My Vacation Time is Over...

French family flew back home and crazy vacation time is over...  Here are some random facts and photos about our past three busy weeks:

 

• Baby Tricotine is completely potty toilet trained - night and day

• We spent few days in New Hampshire - Visited Story Land, Santa's Village and climbed up Mount Washington again, but with the Cog Railway this time

• Drove a cool rented Chevy Van (with DVD player) and considering getting one. Well, maybe...

• Baby Tricotine climbed up Chuck E. Cheese's "big slide" for the first time!

• Bowled Candle Pins for the first time, and have liked it better than regular bowling

• Finished my Melody Shrug

• I have received my Favorite Socks Book in the mail

• Shopped at L.L. Bean (again) - Got myself some Wild Berry Coastal Clogs.  Amazing how those rubber shoes can be comfortable! 

• Toured Portland in a Duck 

• Kids watched Monster Inc. for the first time (while riding in the van) and they didn't find it as scary as I thought they would...  Maybe is it because we have our own little Boo at home? 

• Went to the Beach in Ogunquit

• Walked .8 mile to the Breakwater Lighthouse in Rockland (and back)

• Gained 15 lbs - lots of comfort-food episodes dining out...

• Almost lost my sanity switching from English to French all the time...

• Have added another candle to my BD cake, and got myself a toe ring...  YEP! And I love it... HA!

 

• Got myself new Running Shoes & have resumed excercising

 

And ...

 

• Against all odds (let's kindly say that we didn't hire the right landscaper) the playset for the kids is finally installed.  Mister Tricotine did a wonderful job! There is still lots to do to fix desolation land around the playset though, and it is going to take some time...
  
  
• Watched Braves vs Red Sox on TV last night - for once Braves won - and after 7 years of trying, I have finally understood a bit of Baseball rules... Well, I think...
