A Late Afternoon Horseback Ridding

Austin was the first one to ride but I was so nervous and excited at the same time, that I did not take any picture of him.

It was beautiful as the kids enjoyed horseback ridding my friends horses. We will be making more visits up to the barn. My girlfriend Kim and I are going to try to ride together more often, that is when I look forward to all the kids being in a full day of school. How many years do I have? FIVE!! FIVE MORE YEARS. I will enjoy the children at home until then. When that day comes, I have big plans.

Remember When You Were a Kid?

Remember when you would watch figure skating on TV and then pretend to be a figure skater. Or when you would watch Wonder Woman and run around the house with aluminum foil on your wrists as if you were really her fighting off bad guys. What about Solid Gold, and The Solid Gold Girls? Did you ever watch them and try to be and move just like them. Well maybe you didn't, but I sure did.

It's funny that I sit watching my own kids doing the same thing. Not playing Wonder Woman, or being Solid Gold Dancers, we would have a problem. They just got finished watching Iron man and managed to scrap up all sorts of things around the house for imaginary play, to transform themselves into IRONMAN. So Funny!! Andrew dressed in a Ironman mask and a winter Snow cap and winter gloves holding a long rectangular block as a shotgun, freaking hilarious. He looked more like a bum in the cold adding wood to a fire while wearing an Ironman mask. Kids are funny I will say that.

AUSTIN and HIS 2ND GRADE TREE PROJECT




5 Reasons Why Trees are Important was lectured to the 2nd grade class by Oak Tree, Better known as Austin Salvino. What an Awesome Project!!! Austin did an excellent job, he worked very hard on this project. I went to his class with his brothers and sister to here him speak and show his project. Definitely a winner.

ANDREW AND VICTOR, What will I do???

PEACE!! NOT FOR LONG
As I sat back and enjoy the time without my third Boy Andrew this past week, my Mom and Dad took him for a few days. I suddenly realized that it was peaceful without the fighting between the two siblings that are 15 months apart, Andrew and Vittorio. However, I also noticed the things Victor was doing and Andrew was all along getting blamed for. I had a little more time to get on Victors back about his not listen.

Sneak Eating Of a 3 Year Old
The last day was closing in and I sure did miss Andrew but it was certainly peaceful. No screaming, fighting, crying, no "I'm Hungry" every second after he just ate and no excessive wrappers everywhere because of his sneak eating. Before he left for his Pappy and Memals He was eating a yogurt under the kitchen table. Mind you he never finished anything and it is continuous. Drives me CRAZY!!!
Face off over the Jacket
Time to pick up Andrew, I notice a change as soon as he stepped foot in the car. First off Victor was so mean to him it was horrible. The fighting started. While Andrew was gone Victor instead on wearing Andrew's Shark coat that was entirely to small for him. When Andrew returned home It was tolded to Andrew by Victor that he wore his Shark coat. Victor wanted to fire him up. IT DID!!! So little Andrew disappeared for a while and the next time we saw him he was ready for school wearing Victors Leather jacket, IN YOUR FACE VICTOR!!

I just can't believe how much they fight and how nasty Victor is to Andrew.

Andrew's Fall Harvest Party

at Inveness Pre K 3 yr. old program

What a busy day!!! It started at 8:00 in the morning for a Harvest Party at Inverness Pre School. After the party and excitement at school it was time to come home for lunch and naps at about 12:00. After the kids had there naps and pizza it was time to get dresses as soon as Austin arrived from school off the bus. The excitement was begun as we got ready for our Trick-or Treating excursion to Fells Point Halloween Party with 98 ROCK. First, we needed to make a quick stop to the children's Nauna and Nauno's house. Once we arrived down in Fells Point we made a trip to the REAL PIRATE SHIP for some ghost stories and a pirate parade as we trick-or-treated through Fells Point. After we stopped at the pirate ship it was time for the kids Halloween costume contest with 98 ROCK. WE HAD A WINNER. ADORABLE Andrew won the costume contest for his age group as John Darling from the movie Peter Pan. Andrew won a Gift Certificate to an awesome toy store called The Muze in Fells Point. What a GREAT time, Highly recommended. We returned home about 8:00 and the children were very happy from there outing. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Austin at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore














It was a VERY cold day at the 2nd grade field trip that we attended at the Maryland Zoo. They have done a tremendous amount of work to the zoo. Austin and I saw all sorts of awesome animals at the zoo. I should open an exhibit there at the zoo showing off my 4 Salvino animals.
