I’m getting a little bit stressed out. We’ve got M’s birthday coming up on Friday, which means making a treat for school on Thursday and hosting a slew of kids at our (not terribly exciting) house on Saturday. Frankly, the weather’s got me scared. Also, we tend to be overly ambitious with the birthday cakes: … [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…]
Is it ever going to stop raining? Because I’m just so done with it. I was looking at the many, many events that got completely washed out today. For ourselves, we engaged in delightful activities: Disassembling the food processor for sport. This was W’s idea: he comes from a family of handy people, and apparently … [Read more…]
As you know, I had an off day yesterday.  Really, I generally put together my weekend list, and then I feel pretty good, because as I hear about events from various sources, I can put them into two categories: 1) not family friendly or cheap or fun enough to be considered “fun” by me, or … [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…]
I missed an event–Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake has an early Flag Day Parade on Thursday the 10th (that’s tomorrow or today if you’re a regular reader) at 7 pm. Thanks to Malta Mama–check her out for more info. Back when I did the Summer Camp post, I said that I wasn’t linking to the various municipalities. … [Read more…]
Phew! Would you believe that we didn’t get home from J’s dance recital–she takes dance with Ginny Martin— until 10:30 pm? It was at The Egg downtown, and we were so starving that we stopped at Emack & Bolio‘s before heading home. The recital was great, J enjoyed herself immensely, and I’m too tired to … [Read more…]
J had a friend over for a babysitting playdate, so besides a grocery store run (okay, two: I forgot stuff), we mostly puttered around the house today. Some weeding was accomplished, although you couldn’t tell by, you know, looking at my garden. For much of the time, though, I was in the kitchen. The girls … [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…]
