Kaden is playing with the big lego blocks right now and just built an iPad. "Look I made an iPad, " he declared with pride. He's holding it in him arms, with his finger on the screen, pretending to scroll and read and everything! That is something it think its safe to say wasn't being built out of blocks by children 20 years ago...

Jammie Day!

2012-02-02T14:21:00.000-05:00

This week is Catholic Schools Week- which seems to be essentially a spirit week. Kaden has gotten to do all sorts of fun things, including wear his pajamas to school yesterday. As we were choosing which to wear and dressing him he looked at me and asked, "Mommy do I have to wear a pull up to school too?" I had to laugh, but I guess it makes sense, typically when he is in jammies, he is also in a pull up!

He finally decided on a pair, after turning down my suggestion to wear the Halloween ones he really likes, because they had little skeletons on them and he "didn't want to scare Mrs. Barr!"

Mackinna did such an amazing job on Sunday. We were beaming with pride. She is such a little performer! Here she is with the rest of the girls in a great group shot.

Media Advisory

2012-01-29T23:35:00.000-05:00

This "media advisory" was sent out by our PR department at work last week!

Garrand announces an addition to the media team, expected to arrive in approximately 6 months.

The addition, expected in late July, will join big sister Mackinna and big brother Kaden at the Campbell household, while making frequent visits to the office.

"How about boot?" Suggested name by big brother Kaden.

Opportunities include: Interviews with Christine on cravings, potential names, and overall congratulations. In addition, photo opportunities will be available upon request (after July).

What: Christine is expecting!

When: Late July

Where: Maine Medical Center

All interview requests can be scheduled with Christine's publicist Kati Stacey.

We are all excited to welcome #3- especially the kids, but does it mean I have to change the name of the blog??

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

2011-11-20T15:44:00.001-05:00

The kids and I brought out pilgrim hat making stuff to Mom and Dad's so that Dylan could help us make some for Thanksgiving. Dylan and Mackinna couldn't stop licking the chocolate, Kaden kept stealing marshmallows. We had fun and have some beautiful hats to eat. Mackinna is giving one to Julia and Mrs. Bosse. Kaden has one for Mrs. Barre, Mrs. Wescott, Tom and Nicholas. Dylan took one home for himself, and one from Mommy and one for Bampy, but Shawn thinks Dylan actually plans to eat them all.

A little song

2011-11-17T13:59:00.000-05:00

Here is a video from my phone from over the weekend of Kaden James singing and strumming on his guitar in his jams.

Nutcracker

2011-11-17T13:47:00.001-05:00

We are going to see the Nutcracker later this month, so I found some clips online to show Kaden. He loves the mice & soldier battle scene and has watched probably 8 different performances of it by different ballet companies. I left the room for a minute and came back to find my computer on the stool and him dancing/ fighting along with the video!

Mackinna's Christmas list

Mackinna has asked that Santa bring her an electric blanket. What does that tell you about our house? Please don't call DHS on us!

Snow in October!

2011-11-01T07:58:00.000-04:00

We had a good Nor'Easter over the weekend which brought us about 4 inches of heavy wet snow before Halloween. Other places got it much worse, but we did lose our electricity for half a day and had to scramble to dig out winter coats snowboots and snow pants. Kaden didn't have any snow mittens that fit so he was stuck wearing purple old ones of Mackinna's. It didn't phase him though. He had a blast shoveling, making a snow angel and throwing snowballs. As the day warmed up, Mark found him sitting on the steps crying, "because he didn't waaaaant the snow to meeeeelllllt."

My little hiker

2011-10-31T07:30:00.002-04:00

Kaden and I went and hiked Bradbury Mountain last week. We had such a nice time. He climbed the whole way, never once asking to be carried. He was so cute- talking about how beautiful the view was and saying, "Thanks for asking me to come here Mommy. Kids can't do things like this without their parents." The boy just oozes sweetness!

Dancing cowboy

2011-10-29T14:20:00.002-04:00

Kaden got to wear his Halloween costume to dance this week- minus the cowboy boots of course.
When I asked him what he did in class, he told me he did some "rest dancing". After pondering this for a moment I had to ask, "Kaden, do you mean break dancing?" "ahhh! That's what it was- break dancing" he replies.

Wednesday night when I was putting Kaden to bed, I told him I felt so lucky to have him and asked him If there was anything he felt lucky to have. He replies,"I feel lucky we didn't have to go to church at school today."

We had such a nice time at the MOFGA Common Ground Fair last Sunday. The weather was beautiful, and the kids had a blast. The only thing that would have made it better was if Auntie was with us again this year.

Camping at Hermit Island 9/9-9/11

2011-09-30T14:41:00.012-04:00

We had a beautiful weekend camping at Hermit Island, with Sarah, Ruddley and Tyler. Auntie Nan, Auntie Patty, Jada and Marina where there too, and Grandma, Grandpa, Dylan, Auntie and Uncle Joe even came to visit. Too bad Daddy was sick- a trip to urgent care on Sunday after check out determined it was strep throat!

We went camping this weekend (I'll post pictures soon) and I guess it really wore the boy out. He fell asleep in his sisters bed while we were laying out her clothes. Guess I need to move him so she can go to sleep...

4 year check up

2011-09-08T23:23:00.000-04:00

Kaden finally had his 4 year check up this week. He was such a star. He chatted the ear off Joellen and Dr Youth- just went on and on and on. He was cracking everyone up. He got 4 shots, had vision and hearing exam too. When they said he was going to have his eyes checked, he said, "I don't need my eyes checked. I got my hair cut this morning, I can see now!" He told both Dr Youth and Joellen separately that he ate bananas, corn and apples. Not that either one asked... but for a couple weeks now I've been telling him he's got to better about eating his fruits and vegetables because at his check up Dr Youth would ask, so I guess he didn't want to wait for it to come up- he just volunteered his very short list of fruits and veggies and try to nip that conversation in the bud.

He was 42" tall (80%) and 41lbs (85%) We knew he was 42" because he had to be that tall to go on some rides at Dollywood's Splash Country when we were in Tennessee!

I just tried to go back and compare this to Mackinna's 4 year check up but it seems I didn't blog about a big girl update for her after hers :(

Kaden's first day of school!

2011-09-08T08:30:00.000-04:00

Kaden started Pre-K at St Brigid School yesterday. He had such a good time that today he seemed quite disappointed to learn that he was going to be staying home with me!

First day of First Grade!

2011-09-05T16:21:00.000-04:00

Mackinna started school on Wednesday. Mrs. Bosse is her teacher this year. This is particularly awesome, not just because Mrs. Bosse is very nice (not bossy) but she was Mackinna's bus room teacher last year AND her son Garrett was in Hen's class last year and her daughter Gillian dances at Drouin with Mackinna! This year Mackinna rides the bus with our neighbor Julia in the morning- something she has been dying to do for a couple of years now. This means we have to catch the bus at 7:56! We've got two days under our belts and so far so good. We've had two really great mornings. She has seems tired and cranky in the afternoons and even this weekend, but two great mornings leave me really hopeful that this year's transition will be much easier than last year.

Here are some pictures from the first day!

We've been busy with 4th of July festivities, track, swimming, dance class and planning Kaden's party, but we've found time to go to the beach a few times, go strawberry picking and tend to the gardens. Here's what we've been up to so far this month.

New Family Members

2011-07-16T22:37:00.001-04:00

Okay so it was actually 3 weeks ago that we got them, so they aren't so new, but we got kittens! Each kid has one. Mackinna named hers Mr. Purrington and Kaden's is Mater. Everyone is still getting used to each other, but so far so good, even though the pets now out number the people in our house!

Radio stations?

2011-07-12T22:07:00.000-04:00

Yesterday Mark took the dogs to the vet so he needed to drive the Pilot, which meant I took Mackinna to swim lessons in the truck. On the drive over she said to me, "I don't like Daddy's truck. I don't like the radio. It always guys talking. The radio in your car Mommy, plays songs we like." I had to explain to her that Daddy listens to sports talk radio, and we COULD change the station, I just never really bother doing so.

2011-06-02T21:12:00.000-04:00

Coach Steve brought a special guest to the last day of Bit Bat, Slugger the Sea Dog. Kaden was the lucky little boy who had his name picked from a hat with all the kids names to race Slugger around the bases.

He also had the chance for some photos, it was a day to remember.

Bless you

2011-05-31T22:03:00.000-04:00

This evening, Kaden freaked out a bit and exclaimed urgently, "Mommy, I need a tissue," while pointing to slime on the inside of his elbow. "What is that Nuggie?" I asked as I approach him with the tissue. His reply, "The bless-you-stuff." And as I get closer, I see it is indeed snot.

Perfect end to an awesome long weekend

If I were a Seagull...

2011-05-30T17:00:00.001-04:00

After a day at the beach today, Kaden says to me, "if I were a
seagull, I'd live at the beach and when I got hungy, I'd steal
people's food. And if I saw a bag with cookies in it, I'd eat them!

Egg plants?

2011-05-28T16:06:00.000-04:00

Today while playing school we were talking about things found in a garden. Mackinna suggested tomatoes then Kaden raised his hand and said, "eggs!" "Kaden, eggs come from chickens, you know that." I say. He replies, "Well what about egg plants? They grow eggs too." Now it makes a little more sense why a kid who hates vegetables was so excited for to bring home his very own eggplant for the garden... He does love eggs!

"that was a really long boring book."

6 year check up

2011-04-09T09:45:00.000-04:00

Mackinna finally had her 6 year check up this week. She had one shot, which she was not happy about. She did a great job on her eye exam and giggled her way thru her hearing one- never actually raising her hand to show that she heard the beeps. She said it tickled...
Doctor Youth asked about school and if she knew her letters- you should have seen the death stare she gave him for that. I had to step in an let him know she is reading. When we talked about it later I asked her if he offended her by asking that. With quite the attitude she replied, "I don't know why he would even ask a 6 year old that!" She was not happy.

Here are her stats:
Height- 4'2" (98%)
Weight- 53 lbs (84%)

Kaden and I went to the park today and happened to meet two of his
friends from school. I thought I would never get him to leave.

Not tired

2011-04-05T11:37:00.000-04:00

He said he want not tired and didn't need a nap but, alas the 3 mile
drive home was too much for him.

Kaden speak

2011-04-05T09:17:00.000-04:00

Kaden James just asked me for some "Juice punch." I like it, I think its clever. Moving forward we may never speak of fruit punch again...we'll have to see if it sticks.

Catching up

2011-04-03T21:49:00.000-04:00

Its been a while and much has happened that I have yet to chronicle, including Mackinna's 6th birthday! It actually fell at the tail end of Feb vacation so she celebrate at school with her friends the Friday before break, which also happened to be pajama day! It was very exciting for all. Her classmates made her a lovely book and video and she brought in a special snack- rainbow cupcakes- to share.

Rainbow cupcake

I forgot to take a picture of the cute cupcakes before I sent them in, but did later snap one of slightly less pretty "stay at home cupcakes."

Mackinna wrapped up her acro class and we got to go to the final one to observe. She was great. I can't believe the progress she made in the 6 week workshop. She can't wait to take another one in the summer.

Mackinna's bridge

Mackinna's head stand

The the Sunday before her birthday Hen had a dance party at Drouin. This was her first "friends" birthday party and boy was she excited. The first hour would be a dance class with Miss Tiffany and the second hour we'd do cake and presents and a pinata in another classroom. The birthday girl requested a cake "like a little wedding cake with ballet slippers on top." So that is what she got! We also made ballerina and #6 cookies. We made tutus for all her friends and got them water bottles in case they got thirsty during dance class.

Everyone had a blast. When we got home, Kaden declared, "That sure was a really fun party, Mackinna!" They both danced and played hard and were so tired they fell asleep on the couch not long after returning home.

Then on Hen's actual birthday we went to Boston to see Toy Story 3 on Ice. It was a great show and an awesome way to round out 2 full weeks of birthday festivities!

55 and sunny!

night." (though not when I went in to check on her!)

Valentines

2011-02-24T17:46:00.000-05:00

The kids worked so hard on making the most beautiful handmade Valentines for their friends at school. Mackinna even did all of her own writing. We attached these to heart cookies we made for their classmates and they looked just lovely. I think the kids were really proud of themselves. They sure were excited to get to school to celebrate.

My sweet little matching valentines

Father Daughter Dance

2011-02-24T17:38:00.000-05:00

Mackinna and Daddy went to the second annual Drouin Dance Center Father Daughter dance again this year. Since last year Daddy got her flowers, this year Mackinna thought she should return the favor plus a box of chocolates! What a nice date!
Kaden and Mommy had a special date too. We went to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D. I tried getting a picture of Kaden in his cute little glasses with his giant thing of popcorn, but it was too dark.

Kaden just told me he wants to be a monster when he grows up. Then not even a minute later he threw a handful of markers up in the air and when they all came down, he said with surprise, "Thats not juggling!"
The kid cracks me up.

Tire Swinging!

2011-02-06T12:33:00.000-05:00

Well we finally made it all the way to the park in our snowshoes. There is so much snow that the kids can climb up into the tire swing by themselves!

Nuggie has had enough snowshoeing

Shopping wears me out too, but I try to stay awake... Kaden just
couldn't do it.

Long day

After dinner the kids sat on the couch to have a cookie before bed...
Minutes later this was the scene.

Muffin tin lunch

2011-02-03T13:59:00.000-05:00

In an effort to get Kaden to be a better eater I'm trying muffin tin
meals. Here is our first... Nothing too crazy just stuff he'd
normally eat- yogurt, granola. Raisins, cheese and animal crackers.
I'll slipping other stuff in there down the road.

Big Girl Update

2011-02-02T21:37:00.000-05:00

Mackinna is rapidly approaching her 6th birthday and every day we are made aware of how quickly she is growing. Over the weekend, it suddenly occurred to her that she could sound out words so she didn't have to rely only on the dozen or so sight words she's learned in school. She quickly began reading some little leap frog books we have. She was pretty pleased with herself. It was really fun to watch! Then as if that wasn't enough for one Mom to have to deal with in a week, we discovered a slightly loose tooth last night. How can this be? Big kids loose teeth...and read- I'm beginning to think we must have a big kid on our hands!

Lunch

2011-02-01T14:26:00.000-05:00

Today Kaden asked for waffles and corn on the cob for lunch. When I turned that down, he suggested eggs and corn on the cob.

Cake!

We might have a problem

This morning Kaden asked for something else with his breakfast. When I asked what he'd like, he replied, "umm... brownies?" Nice try pal, nice try. So as I was helping Mackinna pack her bag for school, this little man helped himself to a stool and got into the cupboard where the the chocolate chips are kept. Next thing I know Kaden is eating oatmeal with chocolate chips- A LOT of chocolate chips (and syrup). We may have a chocoholic on our hands.
