I’ve realized that I need to get to work earlier on my weekly posts now that Downton Abbey is on again. I am simply to enraptured to multitask. Speaking of tv fun, last night we watched Crazy, Stupid, Love, and it was surprisingly sweet and enjoyable. Put it in the queue. Here’s what I’ve found … [Read more…]
Guess what happened about 2 minutes after we should have already left for gymnastics on Friday? Yes, that’s my butter dish, which was shattered all over the floor when the refrigerator door was opened with the vigor that is only possible when you are a 7-year-old with an obsessive desire for salami while your mother … [Read more…]
This week, I feel like I’ve just been puttering around, completely unproductive. Part of the problem is that I arrived home Tuesday night, so on Wednesday morning I was sleepy, unpacking, and in need of a grocery run. On Thursday morning I had an appointment that got cancelled, but instead of just moving on to … [Read more…]
I promise that this is my last alliterative title. I couldn’t help myself. We went to M’s first school orchestra and chorus concert. For the chorus portion she had a solo, and she did a great job. Poor J, who had seen the program as part of an assembly once already during the school day, … [Read more…]
I’ve been getting the KidsOutAndAbout.com newsletter ready tonight, but luckily I’ve got a big list of links that I’ve been meaning to share with you. All Over Albany has a post on The Snow Train to North Creek. I just love Glennon’s approach to dealing with tantrums over at Momastery. Seriously, I can’t look at … [Read more…]
We spent Sunday, Monday, and today on our annual Jiminy Peak trip with friends. We returned a few hours ago, and I’ve literally been stumbling around due to exhaustion. As in, I tripped on our duffel bag handle and landed on my face, and moments later I fell down the stairs while carrying 3 pairs … [Read more…]
Really, it’s impressive that I’m pulling this post out at all. We spent much of the afternoon and evening skiing, I sampled some delightful home-brewed home cider, and frankly? I’m pretty much ready to be sleeping. So I’ll ask in advance for you to forgive typos or missed items. And always don’t forget to check … [Read more…]
It’s cold enough that outdoor skating is available! I got an email today saying that there’s skating at Indian Meadows: The Town of Glenville skating rinks at Indian Meadows Park, 155 Droms Rd., are now open. Hours are sunrise to sunset, and when rink conditions allow, evening skating under the lights until 9PM. The rinks … [Read more…]
Back when Daniel B. posted on All Over Albany about Tacos at La Mexicana Grocery & Restaurant, Cute W and I sent each other the link with messages laden with multiple explanation points about how we must try it soon. But of course, the holidays were busy. Over the weekend, Cute W planned a menu … [Read more…]
Update: okay, okay. Have I mentioned that I’m not too tech-savvy? My first plug-in, which would have kept you in the dark at Capital District Fun all day, didn’t work, so you just got a teensy blackout. And here’s more info. if you’d like it: If you spend slightly less time on the internet than … [Read more…]
