UPDATE: This post is from 2010, so it’s outdated. Here’s a link to the KidsOutAndAbout Summer Camps page, which is more comprehensive and is updated each year. Okay, that berry-picking syndrome has happened again. I’ve been keeping a running list of summer camps as various organizations have emailed me, and I thought that it … [Read more…]
So, I wrote this post that I liked, but then I decided that it wouldn’t work for today. And now, look at me. It’s late and I’m sleepy and I’m starting from scratch! Yuck. Luckily, I’ve been working on a little project, which is to include various entertainers to the Big Ol’ List of Links. … [Read more…]
Would you believe that I was about two-thirds through this post when it suddenly disappeared? Oh, man, I was so bitter. Especially since, as I write this thing up, I always delete my notes of whatever I’ve been hearing about. So maybe there are a couple of things that were completely lost. SO irritating. We … [Read more…]
The TU’s Table Hopping Blog reports that a Mexican Radio is coming to Schenectady! Yeah, baby! Now, does this mean that I will forsake Bombers and their glorious lemon pepper-garlic wings and ginormous margaritas? Oh, no. And yet, will I appreciate a downtown option for my young girls in which the main decorating motif is … [Read more…]
Yeah, they’re way better. We’re mostly just recovering from our trip today. We drove like crazy people and arrived home at midnight last night, so it’s been unpacking and grocery shopping and trying to make the whole house stop smelling like cat food. Also, the ants in our ant farm are dying. We are following … [Read more…]
Our last day of vacation before the long drive back. The girls are “helping” Pop make pasta and listening to the adults sputter through their explanations of why all of us are rooting against Tiger at the Masters today. Remind me to hide my Vanity Fair. We are all pretty tuckered out–we were out late … [Read more…]
Oh! I forgot to tell you about an encounter at the park yesterday–some lady was oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over how pretty M is and she exclaimed, “What kind of a night did you two have when you made her!?!” Wow, that’s super-awkward. Especially when you’re standing there next to your parents. We just smiled and … [Read more…]
I was so busy making sure that you had plenty to do this week that I didn’t get a chance to tell you about the rest of the roadtrip. The second day was just fine, thank you. We took a swim in the hotel pool and then headed to Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh, North … [Read more…]
With all of this time off from school, you could always try a little overnight adventure. Kids are quite easily thrilled with a trip, especially if it involves a stay in a hotel. A new bed, elevators to ride, and especially an indoor pool–woo, hoo! We’ve had success with Priceline many times. It’s especially great … [Read more…]
I can’t actually connect to my blog while driving, but I DID scribble on a piece of paper. Because I am a freak. Of course, I couldn’t look at the piece of paper, because focusing on anything in any way (reading, map-looking, needle work) makes me car sick. I’m actually pretty useless in a car. … [Read more…]
