Perhaps you’d think that after a health department shutdown at the Ciccotti Center in Colonie, I wouldn’t want to bring my precious darlings back. Ummmm. . . nope. I definitely follow the “let’s strengthen their immune systems” school of parenting. We had an excellent time. The kids played for 3 1/2 hours, and the older … [Read more…]
I have to say, that giveaway was much more fun for me than I expected. I know, in theory, that people are out there reading, but actually hearing from people feels so much more personal. Many comments were funny and creative. . . it made me glad that I’d said I’d choose randomly, because if … [Read more…]
There are several different fun events coming up to benefit some good causes, so I thought that I’d give you a little time to plan. From Thursday April 14th until Thursday April 28th, the New York State Museum has a special Canstruction exhibition. Ten super-cool designs created with cans, and when the exhibition is over, … [Read more…]
How crazy it is that my house was too cold today, so I opened up the windows to let some of the hot air in? It worked, too. There were these bizarre gusts of hot air. We’re loving the excellent weather. The only sad part is that Cute W is out of town, so he … [Read more…]
Oh yes we did. One of our little friends had her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese tonight. Usually an hour at CEC gives me a headache, but lucky for me, I already had a headache before I even walked in the door, so it didn’t matter much. We had an abundance of tokens, not … [Read more…]
Both girls, having been pumped with alternating doses of antibiotics and pro-biotic yogurt, were sent to school today. Meanwhile I continue to languish in The Land of The Never-ending Cold. Really, the emails and tidbits of information are beginning to stack up in a disconcerting manner. Usually I’ll get a few emails about something, and … [Read more…]
Now I’ve got the sickness Cute W had. Which was to be expected, what with all the cootie-passing. So I’m wimping out and not putting together this week’s listing. Hopefully I’ll get something more complete out tomorrow. This week it’s the Riverway Storytelling Festival with events at a variety of locations. Monday, April 4th: At … [Read more…]
I’m feeling slothful and uninspired at the moment. I even whined to Cute W that I didn’t know what to post tonight. Really, I have a list of possible posts, but just about all of them required some research or writing effort. So what I really meant was, I didn’t know what I could post … [Read more…]
Tonight at 7:30 pm there’s a presentation at Proctors of Bullied, a documentary about one student’s experiences with anti-gay bullying. Along with the documentary, there will be screenings of student films and a panel discussion about bullying. I can’t believe I missed this, especially since I’m friends with one of the organizers! In my brain … [Read more…]
I’m slacking off here at Capital District Fun because I wrote a post on snowshoeing over at All Over Albany. You might even remember the picture from our outing at Thacher last year.
