Popcorn Anyone!???

Today was a super busy day in town! This morning was the 2nd Annual Plainville Community FUNd Day at Robertson Airport here in town. Our Cub Scout Pack sold Popcorn there last year and we decided to do it again! They didn't sell much, but they had a lot of fun!

Christopher & Anneli ready to sell.

Pepere and the kids riding a train around the airport. Gotta take a break from selling sometime!

Later this evening, was the annual Town Block Party. We decided to sell popcorn there too! It was a long day, but everyone who participated had a great time! :)

We had to take this picture again....see Memere in the back... ;)

Quick Day Trip to New Hampshire

This summer was absolutely crazy! We didn't have much time to do anything! So this morning we woke up and off we went for a trip to New Hampshire. We had a great time visiting with family and checking out the Seacoast Science Center!

What a fun day! It was great to see everyone!! :)

First Day of School 2011!

Schools all around us were canceling due to flooding and no power, but not our school system!! WOOHOO! We were happy to go back to school. It's always nice to have summer vacation, but it is always nice to get back into our routine again!

It's hard to believe that Christopher is going into FOURTH GRADE and Anneli is going to be all day in FIRST GRADE! Where does the time go?!?

I can't think of a better way to be welcomed back to school--two good friends getting a BIG welcome back hug from our good friend and school mascot Lindy the Dolphin! Lindy Cares!! :)
Christopher and Anneli both got great teachers, as always. I think it's impossible to get a bad teacher at Linden, they are all awesome!! :)

They are so grown up....

Here's our Principal, Mrs. Greenbacker. She retired in June but is still with us until a replacement is found.
Even though she already knew the teacher and is very comfortable in the school, she was horrified at the thought of being at school for almost 7 hours!! UGH!

Even with that face, they both had a great day at school! :)
