Winter's Marching In!

The snow is coming people. It has been snowing in the mountains of Maine and we couldn't be happier. I got a great deal on a season pass to Sugarloaf and Sunday River through the University and I get to ride something like 265 trails and 36 lifts without forking over another cent, awesome. Big mountain skiing right in your own back yard, well that is a perk you just can't get everywhere.

Halloween came and went without one trick or treater. We carved pumpkins, bought candy, and left the lights on but no one stopped. We live on quite a busy street so we thought at least one person would see our sweet jack o'lanterns and stop on by. But we weren't total LOSERS sitting around all night waiting for no one, a classmate had a halloween party and it was pretty fun.

Being sports fan we moved to Maine at a good time as New England teams have been ripping it up. The Sox won the World Series, Boston College is #2 in college football, the Patriots are undefeated and the Celtics are looking stellar so far. And yes we like to remind everyone that these teams would not be so great without the help of Minnesota. David Ortiz, Randy Moss and Kevin Garnett all started in MN and if we had not let them go these beloved teams just would not be the same. So New England you are welcome.

Woof you are not. Welcome that is, for digging a giant hole in your dog kennel. Oh boy, whoever said having a dog is good training for a kid was right. He can be such a stubborn mule and then he makes us laugh until we cry, oh Woofer. Check out Ben trying to hold him like a 92 lb. baby, he hated it but didn't move, just sat there clenched up in a ball, holding his breath, with an embarrassed look on his face. It was too funny....
