Chatham celebrated it's 300th Birthday yesterday in style with a parade that must have been at least 2 hours long. This is my view from being on a float (actually I was walking inbetween our floats). It's totally not the best video, but it sure gives you the vantage point from being part of the parade. Hope you all had a fun, safe day!

A Multitude of Mom Hats
This past weekend, I was regular mom, baking mom, cheering mom, loser mom, tired mom, rock star mom, patient mom, homework checker mom and proud mom.
Crazy how many hats a mom can wear over 2 days.
B had a swim meet in Southern Rhode Island on Saturday. We left at 9:30 and got home at 8. Yes, it was a long day! The proud mom role was obvious because I am always proud of my girls when they are doing something they love and are so happy doing it. The loser mom role wasn't too far behind because I missed her 100 free. They had all the kids and parents in a gym (headache? check) and would call them into the pool area in groups. I went into the pool area 5 minutes after her and watched her hit the wall as she was finishing the 100. Oh yeah, I paid for that one. She was MAD. I have no idea what her time was, but hopefully it was really fast. If that is the case, then I will make sure I piss her off more often before a race.
K had a concert for the music studio she sings at on Sunday. She's been getting up on stage in school talent shows since she was in 2nd grade and she sings solos in church, so I didn't think that she would be too nervous for this. Wrong. She was nervous. The great thing about K is is that as nervous as she was, the minute she opened her mouth to sing, all the nerves disappeared. She was so confident. I think even Bruno Mars would have been proud of the way she sung his song. Her instructor, Tony, learned the song right along with her so he could play the guitar for her. It was very cool.
So, the mom hats continue switching around, sometimes every minute. Some, like the proud mom hat, are always there, but I hope loser mom hat doesn't show up too often. Time to put on babysitting mom hat and head to work!

Maine trip, finally....
The girls and I went to Rockport, Maine for 5 days at the beginning of the month. Remember, no internet access? Anyway, we had a blast and met up with my roommate from Bates and her family. If you are from or know Maine then you will know that (once you view the video) that it was an EFFORT for me to stop at Bowdoin and buy my Uncle something and take pictures. (He went there/big school rivals!) That should put me at the top of the inheritance list.
The weather was foggy, hazy, hot, humid, clear, dry.... yup, we ran the gammet of everything except snow. Watch the damn video, it only took me about 2 hours to make it. The girls picked the song. I was going with something more sea or friend oriented, but they liked this. I am a sucker. Actually, I just needed to get my ass of the chair and away from the computer for a bit, so I agreed.
If you ever are in need of a Maine tourguide, I am your girl!!!
