I’m taking Saturday off and just passing along some links. First, I wrote about our adventures in Lake Placid, including checking out some Olympics facilities and going to the super-fun Wild Center in Tupper Lake, over at Kids Out and About. Incidentally, the page has a photo of me–think I should add it to my … [Read more…]
Our plan for the day was camp in the morning followed by lunch with one of J’s friends over. They could play while I finished my “to do” list, which included writing an article for Kids Out and About. Then we’d all head to the pool for the afternoon. And yet it seemed that I … [Read more…]
How cute is this? J decided to draw a “map” to plan her day the other morning. Sort of clockwise from lower left, that’s: Swing on tree swing Shop with mom at grocery store Lie down on bed Go to piano lesson (she climbs stairs up to the house) Jump rope Ride bike Read bedtime … [Read more…]
I know. I didn’t post last night. The girls have been going to bed later during the summer, and it’s wreaking havoc on my blog schedule. So I thought that I’d try a morning post for a change of pace. I’ve had a great morning! Lately J has not been wanting to go to camp, … [Read more…]
I dropped by GE’s Kids Day in downtown Albany today before rushing home to watch soccer (No. I don’t want to discuss it.), and it was a delightful event. Seriously, if you’ve ever gone to the Tulip Festival and thought, gosh, this would be more fun if there weren’t All of These Freakin’ People, then … [Read more…]
J was riding her bike this morning! She still needs practice, but she’s conquered it! Maybe it’s the helmet. I’ve successfully re-curtained the girls’ rooms. I’m always taking random photos that could be blog posts so that I can share them on nights when I’m feeling lazy and uncreative. Like (you guessed it) tonight. I’ve … [Read more…]
We’ve had errands to run with the girls all week, but I’ve been procrastinating. Every day was too beautiful to go to the store. And finally, we ran out of days, because M had to pick out a birthday gift for a friend. Even before we’d remembered the birthday, I’d been promising the girls new … [Read more…]
We finally made it to SPAC to see the New York City Ballet! I’ve been meaning to go for years. They’re here, for what? Two weeks or so each summer? And every year I’m either away on vacation or it’s storming on the night I planned to go or something else ridiculous happens to thwart … [Read more…]
We extended our weekend away and only arrived home a few hours ago. I have a ton of accumulated outings for the blog, but no energy to go into them tonight. Luckily we have a couple of weeks of absolutely no travel, so hopefully I’ll be able to catch my breath and catch up with … [Read more…]
Sorry that I’ve been such a slacker. Yesterday we visited the National Zoo, today it was the National Museum of American History. In fact, this morning I was standing in front of the Greensboro Lunch Counter trying to explain its historical significance to M when she interrupted me. “Mom,” she said. “Stop explaining it to … [Read more…]
