Hey! We’re all exhausted from excessive cousin fun and sporting crispy noses in spite of 4 or 5 (or more) sunscreen applications today. The week for us: more of the same. The week for you? Actually, there’s quite a bit happening: Monday, June 28th From 10 am to 4:30 pm, it’s a Kickoff for Summer … [Read more…]
Did you know that today’s the day for the Great American Backyard Campout? The girls love to camp. Each June, we come up with a checklist of what we absolutely must do to ensure a fabulous summer, and camping is always number one on the list. This, despite our lack of camping luck. The first time that … [Read more…]
First, I had to laugh at this Onion article–how perfect that it actually says it’s from Niskayuna, NY! Between this and that news brief they did on period movies, it’s as if they can peer into my Very Soul. Here’s what’s going on this weekend: All Weekend The Old Songs Festival is at the Altamont … [Read more…]
Okay, I’ve once again become carried away with the post when there’s a frightening pile of laundry to be folded. Have I mentioned that we’re taking another long car trip that begins day after tomorrow? So you’d think that I’d take it easy and just work ahead on the weekend post, right? I mean, that’s … [Read more…]
We have just completed what I believe might have been the best weather weekend ever.  I mean: gorgeous! Less gorgeous was yesterday’s post, with a variety of humiliating typos. I really was tired.  I think I fixed them all. Anyway, it’s our last day of school this week, so we’re shifting into summer.  Here are … [Read more…]
Hooray! The sun’s finally coming out! Good thing, because we’ve got a lot of outdoorsville happening at our house, and I was really beginning to freak out about it. I am actively working on a restaurant post, so if you have suggestions for good places to take the whole family, I’d love to hear them. … [Read more…]
Well, okay. Maybe you can. I got a little carried away at the Greenmarket today. But, oh, the bountiful goodness! It all looked so fabulous that I had to take a picture. In fact, you can see M’s silly-banded wrist in the corner of the picture because I couldn’t get her to move any further … [Read more…]
I’m crabby. The girls are harmoniously playing a game in which their doll named Kelly (acted out by M, and not to be confused with Barbie’s younger sister) is whining, complaining, and abusing the adorable kitten played by J. Even though it’s pretend, the whining & complaining is so realistic that it is actually just … [Read more…]
Phew! Everyone exhausted from the weekend? Weather’s looking great for much of this week–still sunny, not so hot. Yay. Here are some things going on: Monday, June 7th: The local Sling Babies group is meeting at North Bethlehem Playground at 10:30 am. From 6:30-8 pm, the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Library will have a training session for … [Read more…]
W took J to her last dance class–incidentally, she’s had very few bug bites lately.  Meanwhile M and I rode bikes for a while. Later, we girls went to the Niskayuna Art Fair because one of our dog friends was in the dog show.  As soon as they stepped out, I knew that Daisy was … [Read more…]
