What color are you?

i am spring green

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definitely strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.

Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

To find out what color you are, take the quiz here.

Happy 5th Maddy!

My cousin Madison turns 5 today! And although we can't make it to her birthday party (she lives 3,000 miles away), we'll be thinking of her and wishing her loads and loads of birthday fun!

Off to the races!


The Soapbox Race, that is. Tomorrow we're taking the kids to the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Providence. Should be a good time - looks like there are about 60 different teams entered. I'm sure we'll have to go online tonight (before the Sox game starts, of course!) to checkout the sketches and decide which team(s) we're going to root for. Before the race starts, we're going to take a walking tour of the new Iway bridge (exciting! that's what happens when you come from a family of engineers) and grab a bite to eat. Other tentative plans for the weekend include: whipping up a batch of this; curling up on the couch and trying to finish this; entertaining the kids during the big game by making some of these; and hopefully eating some warm apple pie homemade by T (he took the kids apple picking Monday while I was working - some holiday!). HAPPY WEEKEND!

Jumping in the leaves

It's been a busy, busy week... will try and do some "real" posting this weekend.

Rhode Island is...


Sunny afternoons at the Southeast Light

Halloween at our House


Our very own Pats o' lantern (carved by my brother, B)! Now T thinks he can get out of taking me to see this.

It won't last until the Super Bowl, but hopefully it will make it through October. Maybe we need to request a matching Sox o'lantern, since the Sox are advancing to the ALCS after sweeping the Angels... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Friday night our Sox clinched the AL East title - hooray! Wednesday night they take on the Angels in Game 1 of the ALDS - GO SOX!


And good luck to these adorable little Angels fans!

Fall Fun

Sunday afternoon we took the kids to the Amazing Maze (a corn maze in the shape of a dragonfly) at Carpenter's Farm in Matunuck.

It was a blast! There were seven colored flags to find within the maze and the kids managed to lead us to all of them.


Although we're sad to see the summer go, we're looking forward to all of the great things fall has to offer!
