Getting excited!

We leave early next week and Noah and I are driving with my Mom to MASS and than will meet Daddy in NY. The Big event is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Noah talks about it like he knows what it is and what to expect. He says "there will be dancers, bands, singers and balloons bigger than trees". I can not wait to see his face when he realized what kind of balloons these are. He also goes over and over the list of everyone we will see. Aunt Elana, Aunt Joanie & Kate, Cousin Liam, Uncle Bob, Aunt Linda, PopopPop (his great grandfather) and on and on. He keeps saying "all those people..all those people and he names each one assuming they are all going to the parade too and think it is the greatest thing since the "Big Boat". (the cruise we took last February during his B-day, which he remembers in great detail) We have spent the last few days hanging out at home, going to the library and watching Thomas Videos (he loves them, me not too much). This week "school" was at our house and it was about the letter "F". Our theme was "friends and family". I will post pictures later, but the boys did a great job painting family portraits and praying for friends & family. And of course on "F" day we had plenty of "fun freeplay"! The best had to be eating "F"ruit Bars for snack and watching them to not make a huge mess. Of course Noah picked Wild Berry flavor so you can just imagine the shades of reds, blues and purples that covered his face. Pics to come!
