First, I was on WNYT’s Newschannel 13 Live at Noon yesterday, and you can watch it here. You might have to scroll down a bit to “Fun Fall Activities.” I haven’t watched it, but I do remember that I spoke very, very quickly. I think if I watched I’d just focus on what I didn’t … [Read more…]
Wonder what we do on a Friday night? Well, last night, we each spent some time trying to move a dried apricot from our forehead into our mouth just by changing our facial expressions. Today was busy. M headed to a rec soccer game while J went to gymnastics. Then we all picked J up … [Read more…]
I’ve let all these links pile up again, so it’s quite possible they’re all old news to you by now. But in case you missed them. . . No Fate But What We Make has a collection of some of the most fabulous treehouses you’ll ever see. Gawker.com has this super-unbelievably fabulous woman singing ‘Total … [Read more…]
The KidsOutAndAbout site is officially embracing fall, so I thought I would, too. I’ve got my Fall Activities page available again on the right. When the weather first begins to get cooler at the end of summer, my kids’ natural tendency is to go into hibernation mode. So it takes a bit of extra effort … [Read more…]
Hey! How’s everyone? Today was a lazy day. After gymnastics and soccer for the girls in the morning, 3 out of 4 of us took a nap, and mine was a record-breaking TWO HOURS. That’s right, baby! I also organized a closet and listed a bunch of outgrown toys on Craig’s List. I know, I … [Read more…]
Hey! Look! Here I am! I’m pretty psyched about it. There hasn’t been much fun on Capital District Fun lately. So here’s what happened. You might remember that I said someone had hacked this site. As far as I know, that hadn’t ever happened before, and the only way that I knew anything had happened … [Read more…]
The girls are playing with friends–J’s down the street, and although it’s getting past dark and I should call her in, I can’t quite bear to do it, since tomorrow night will be a (sniff!) school night, so it’s really her last summer evening. M’s been gallivanting all day with several friends. So I thought … [Read more…]
Wednesday was Middle School Orientation for M. She’s been super-excited about middle school for months now, and it was only, say, Tuesday night that I actually saw some low-level anxiety. Back in June parents had received the advice that we might want to get a combination lock for kids to practice opening, because kids are … [Read more…]
I’ve got a splitting headache and I am feeling crabby and emotional. I think that I’m just overtired. The girls have been going to bed later, which means I’m going to bed later, and it’s catching up with me. Yes, I know that we have to re-set our sleep schedules, and tonight was a good … [Read more…]
Okay, first, thanks to a friend and MVP Healthcare, I have a couple of of Family 4-pack general admission entries to the Back to School Expo at the Empire State Plaza this Saturday, September 7th. Because I was consumed with painting M’s room (BOTH girls’ rooms are DONE! Hooray!), I’m running a bit behind schedule, … [Read more…]
