We still enjoyed them while he was deployed, but knowing he was missing out dulled the shine of everything just a little. Plus it nice to have two adults around when you put up outside Christmas lights so one can call 911 when the other falls off the ladder. (No one actually fell off any ladders.) It also super nice to have another adult to coque iphone 4 clairs wear the baby on his back for tree hunting so I can take pictures that have the baby in them.
We went to Geers Tree Farm for our tree, just like we do every year, and it was perfect. It wasn actually as cold as it looks in these pictures. I mean, it wasn like the year we didn even coque iphone se marvel wear coats, but there was no wind and the sun was shining and I ended up taking off my coque iphone 5 peace scarf because hiking around is hard work and I got warm. We took the wagon ride up to the same hill where we our coque iphone 5c trottinette tree the last four years and then walked most of the way back, enjoying the view. The farm was the least crowded we ever seen it (going at 9:30 am on a Friday was a good call!) and we were home with the tree up and decorated before noon.
We actually ended up with a slightly smaller tree than we usually do, but that ok because our living room isn that big and we going to have to fit c discount coque iphone 4 presents for 5 kids coque iphone se longchamps and 7 adults in there on the 25th. I was VERY angry about it, that vacation means a lot to us as a family and as a friend group (we go with coque huawei p30 pro transparent aneau two friends from high school and my college freshman roommate). We didn want to completely cancel our time off though, and coque iphone 6s don’t touch my phone since E hadn been to the lake house yet this year we hung out in Virginia. It was a little colder for my taste, but it was still fun. Our best Navy friends came to coque jaune huawei p20 pro hang out from Virginia Beach so Caroline got to see her favorite person. We even did a grown ups only day in NoVa with most of the friends I was supposed to see at the beach, so we don have to coque iphone 6 multifonction wait another year to see my BFFs. It hard to complain about a lake vacation, especially now that we home and I just looking back on the pictures. Since they only 5 weeks apart, they get joint birthday parties. I asked Lincoln what kind of party he wanted, and since he coque iphone 5c et 5s identique totally Batman obsessed, his answer was A SUPERHERO BIRTHDAY PARTY! Finnegan has no objections because a) he still 1 and b) he also loves superheroes. I had a hard time narrowing it down to which superheroes generic Super Hero stuff The DC Universe Just Marvel Comics Am I a monster for mixing it all together I decided I didn actually care and we went with every kind of Superhero from all the worlds. Fight me if you think that a crime.
After years coque iphone 5 avec phrase of throwing Evan cold coque huawei mate 20 pro femme spring parties and Caroline cold winter parties, it is SO FUN to throw a party where 90% of the activities are outside. This was also the first party where I planned actual activities for almost the entire time we had 2 straight hours of games before we did cake, then the grown ups all got to sit down while the kids burned off some of coque iphone 5c metal bleu their energy. It was the most fun I had coque iphone avec antenne at one of my own parties ever, even though the noise level was insane.

There is a ton of superhero stuff available everywhere from partystores to Target, so I grabbed stuff coque iphone 4s jack daniels whenever I saw it. The pinata was from Walmart, the napkins are Party City, the backdrop and banner are from pylone coque iphone Amazon. All the crepe paper and regular balloons coque huawei mate 10 pro stitch and silly string came from the dollar store and the quick fill water balloons have been purchased for the last year every time I saw a pack on clearance (although they are available online coque huawei p20 pro harry potter as well). Our summer weekends are blessedly empty of commitments, so we get to say yes pretty often. Last weekend though, we looked at the list, mentally calculated the costs of lunch and/or dinner out, the drive times, the 95% humidity and dragged our feet all morning, hoping the kids would entertain themselves.
Then I remembered we had two Blue Star Museums right here in Norwich. I hadn even bothered to add them to our list because they are walking distance from our front door and I pass them several times I day. They don really count as GOING somewhere. But E and I had never been to either one and figured it would be a good compromise between doing nothing and moo see ums.
It turns out, both places are TOTALLY worth visiting! They were interesting! And bigger than I thought! And really fun, even if it was a million degrees inside!
First, we visited The coque iphone 5c reggae Slater Museum. It coque iphone 6 orange is the new black on the campus of Norwich Free Academy, which is the high school in our coque iphone sneakers town. It an endowed academy, a private school that serves as a public school. You can read about the history here, coque iphone 5cbleu which is the sort coque huawei mate 10 pro dragon ball of stuff I love, so when we bought this house one of the main draws was being super close to NFA…
