Baseball Fun

My dad is a HUGE baseball fan, especially of the Phillies. Growing up, he would watch every
Phillies game on TV. He took me to many games as a child and I have fond memories of him and I (and sometimes my brother) cheering on our team!

For the second year in a row, the Philadelphia Phillies are in the World Series. It is a very exciting time!! This year they are playing the New York Yankees (tonight is Game 6, the Yankees are in the lead 3-2, so it is a big game!).

Last year they won the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. I remember it well because Hannah was born in the midst of the World Series. I remember being the hospital and watching and sitting in bed with her watching the games. There was a HUGE parade in Philly after they won (which I did not attend, but watched on TV).

Fiona went to her first Phillies game two summers ago, when she was 18 months old. She had a great time then and sat through the whole game (even with a rain delay)! She loved the Philly Phanatic and even made one at the "Build a Phanatic" store.
My parents took us to another game this past summer, Fiona's second and Hannah's first. Again, Fiona enjoyed herself and watched and cheered! Hannah did not get too into it but we caught her cheering a few times with everyone.

Tonight is Game 6 of the 2009 World Series! GO PHILLIES!!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was very fun this year, even thought I was not feeling great since I was recovering
from the flu.

Monday was the Royersford Halloween parade. Kids from the town march in the parade in their costumes and give out candy to people watching. I was going to bring the girls but that was day 2 of the flu and I felt horrible. My friend Julie was the hero and picked Fiona up and took her! She had so much fun and came home with a bucket full of good treats! She was so tired when she got home and went right to bed!

On Friday, Tom and I took the girls trick or treating at the Outlets with Kim and Owen. Fiona had to find the stores that had a pumpkin on the door, go in and say "Trick or Treat" and got some good stuff! The girls had lollipops when we got home. Hannah's first taste of candy!

We walked around the entire outlet center and the girls made out like bandits!!

Saturday morning was Halloween. I drove the girls to Chalfont to see DeeDee and PopPop. We had lunch and they showed off their costumes and got fun presents from them! After it got dark, we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. Fiona was so cute, making sure she said "trick or treat!" and only took one candy from the bowl (we prepped her). She also always made sure that Baby Rara got a candy too. She made sure everything was fair! It did start to rain a little bit but by then, their buckets were full so we ran home and called it a night.

Fiona went to Owen's house to eat the Halloween gingerbread house and watch It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. She was exhausted!

Happy (late) Halloween!!

Just for fun......
