Girl Cheese Sandwiches

So today I asked Will if he wanted a grilled cheese for lunch.  He took a few minutes to think about it, and then responded with, "Why do they call it a girl cheese sandwich?"

Ahh.......nothing beats a good girl cheese sandwich on a yucky day!

WOO HOO!

Beckett only woke up once last night!  I figured it was going to be a rough night considering the little blob was a crankasaurus right up until he fell asleep (which was a little before 10 pm).  Thankfully he woke up around 1:30 am and after a quick feeding fell back asleep until 6 am! 

Woo hoo!

Why do they call them Cowboys?

In the middle of the night last week Wendy bumped into Will in the hallway after a 2am Beckett feeding.  Out of the blue Will asks (with thumb in mouth) "Mommy, why do they call them Cowboys?  They don't ride cows".

No but apparently they ride whales. (This was taken last night.  We took the boys for a walk in Portsmouth)

I am so excited...

And I just can't hide it....22 Years, 22 LONG years.  Thats how many years I have been watching BAD basketball.  ML Carr trying to loose in order to in get Tim Duncan only to have the ping pong balls vex him, the Walker wiggle, Pervis Ellison, Nique, then wanting Greg Oden so bad I could taste it only to have the ping pong balls once again vex the C's.  (Well that last one turned out alright didn't it, instead of Oden we got KG and Ray Allen).

13.5 hours till tip off.  Wear your green and Go CELTICS!  I need a cold shower....

Who are these people?

Flannel, dude with eyebrows and a tough guy-1993?

Welcome Home Mom!

9 Weeks

York Bound

T Minus 1 day and counting....My Mom and Papa G are one day away from their annual pilgrimage (a few days early thanks to Skybus) to their "Red Sox" home in York Maine.  These types of summer migrants are often known as "Snow Birds", not my mom... she moves in conjunction with the Red Sox.  She makes her stay in York about the same time the Sox season starts and heads back to Florida after the season....and oh yeah.. she is a spring training season ticket holder as well....so she is close to the Red Sox about 9 months out of the year.

We are really looking forward to her coming to Maine.  We enjoy all of the summer activities she does with us.  Hiking Mt. A, Deep Sea Fishing, Boating, Beaching (watching our kids...:-)  )  As for Papa G he enjoys many of the same activities but something tells me his summer will be dedicated to building his boat.  I am also looking forward to some sailing lessons from Papa G.  The second place finish in the York Harbor to Nubble Light sail boat race hasn't sat well with me all winter.  This year we win!
 

The most exciting moment will be when she meets her newest grandchild, Beckett, for the first time.

The only downside is that I will have to give them the BIG GREEN EGG back that I babysat all winter (and fell in love with).

See you at the airport Mom!

Amazing Snow Depth

As of April 12th there is still A LOT of snow around New England.  Amazing winter for snow lovers!

Nap Time

A time honored K-Sea kid tradition was passed on today.  Today marked the first Father-Beckett nap.  Wendy  took Will and Mina to see Joelle's play so I grabbed Beckett and laid down for a nap.  To me there are few things better then a quick nap on a Saturday afternoon.  I managed to grab a photo of the special moment... he even gave me a sleep smile.  The best part of the nap is we have awaken to unsuspected beautiful weather.

HONK! Review by Foster's

Article published Apr 10, 2008
HONK! is a delight thanks to Seacoast Rep

We're all peas in a pod,
                                     …why must I be so odd?
                                     Sit tight on your Lilly Pad,
                                     It will pass, that silly fad.

Warts and all, the happy-go- lucky bullfrog sings his pearls of perspective. The ugly duckling in all of us is set free and the picky, plucky, barnyard status quo eats a little crow.

HONK! Presented by the Seacoast Repertory's Youth Mainstage (through April 20) is a delightful, colorful and meaningful musical comedy, perfect for children and their caretakers.

With stunning stagecraft, strong leads and professional direction, The Rep proves why it is the destination of choice for budding thespians and remains one of the best choices this spring for family theater.

It was good while it lasted

Well it hit the high 60's today and was beautiful.  But alas this is spring in Maine.  The good weather lasted a day and the outlook is downright gloomy.  Even the S-word.

TWO MONTHS OLD!

Today Beckett is two months old!  He weighs 10 lbs. 7.5 oz., 23" long and sleeps anywhere from 3 to 4 hour stretches at night.  He's very smiley now and will turn his head in the direction of a voice.

Happy Two Months Little Guy!!

Hapy Birthday Dad

You are missed...you would be so proud of your 7 Grandchildren...

"Damn Dirty Apes!"

Ramblings.....

• Took Will and Mina to see Joelle in HONK! yesterday.  The play was great and Joelle did a great job.  It was also fun reading her "Cast Biography" in the program as well as seeing her picture in the lobby of the Rep.  If I sound like I am bragging..I AM

• Josh Beckett takes to the hill today to stop the Sox Canadian Slump.  Speaking of Josh Beckett.... we picked up our framed original artwork by Chris Speakman who does Boston Sports themed WWII propaganda style prints.  In addition to the Beckett poster (which will hang in Becketts room) we also got one of KG and a Red Sox 2007 WS Champs set.  Both of which are in queue to be framed and hung in the basement.

• The other "Sean Casey" made a terrible error in his first starting assignment with the Sox.

• Last night we went out for Vietnamese food.  We had to travel to the "beautiful" city of Biddeford to get it.  We went to a restaurant called Que Hong.  Apart from the fact that I never thought I would ever be "scared"  in Maine ( I didn't know Maine had rough neighborhoods) the food was great.  There were several "healthy" selections and the service was excellent...I think...I can't really say I understood a word they said other than.."what he like"

• By the way my weather prediction from Friday is panning out.  Note the upcoming temps are going down from the original prediction of 70 degree weather.  Don't worry I will nail this one.  It's a matter of time before they change those 60 degree predictions to upper 40's low 50's. (even cooler on the coast)... Sorry...

• Finally a clam shell for anyone who can guess the significance of the post "Title".

Warm weather coming?

My bet is that this forecast wont play out this way.  Yesterday this same graphic showed temps in the 70's.  Like Dirt said to me the other day.  "I'll know the warmer weather will come after it rains for 3 weeks".

My forecast is that the week will feature temps in the 48-52 degree range with an on shore breeze that will make it feel like 40.  Sorry to be so pessimistic.  This time of year never forecasts well. 

HONK-Opening Night

Tonight is opening night of HONK at the Seacoast Rep.  This is Joelle's second play.  Last summer she was in the King and I at the Ogunquit Playhouse.  Break a leg Joelle!  We are very proud of you.

I just realized that I have opening night jitters.......

REAL MEN WEAR CAPES

I came home today after visiting Erin (aka Auntie Camera) to find my husband ensconced in a blanket fashioned into a cape. I didn’t think too much of it until we started to get into a discussion and found that I just couldn’t stop looking at his man-cape. After a good giggle, he pronounced with great gayness that he really enjoyed his cape and thought it was very practical. Unfortunately he wouldn’t let me take his picture, but I will give you the visual:

 Adult male, almost 40, six feet something inches (3?), strapping, handsome (I’ll throw that in for points) with a black fuzzy blanket tied around his neck.

 Let the record show I did say “adult.”
