I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I only want a week off from school in the middle of February if airplane tickets to someplace tropical come with it. Yeah, I know, I know: embrace winter! I’ve really enjoyed this winter, but those two days of balmy weather were just plain cruel. I … [Read more…]
We’re very excited at our house, because we’re leaving for Jiminy Peak on Sunday. We went on the same trip last year, too. Which somehow feels like a million years ago, not just because it was warm and rainy for that trip, but because I’d just recently started the blog. I created the Capital District … [Read more…]
I was grouchy when I posted last night, and after I hit “publish” I had an attack of remorse that I was whining when I have a cozy, warm house and a healthy family and a gift-buying budget. I’m a lucky girl, even if I’m occasionally too irritable to appreciate it. But today, oh today, … [Read more…]
Wow, super-miserable weather day today, wasn’t it? And it’s supposed to get super-cold. As if all the holiday errands aren’t enough, my kindergartener J is “Star of the Week” this week, which means we have that we have a different little activity to prepare each day. This is supposed to be entirely fun, but we’re … [Read more…]
Okay, I’m catching up a bit, and the holiday panic is subsiding. I’ve also been rummaging through my email, and I thought that I’d share some miscellaneous news items. Emack & Bolio’s in Albany wants to make sure that you all know that they do birthday parties. Candyland Activity & Enrichment Center in Schenectady is … [Read more…]
Fin was buried today in a brief ceremony, comprised of some flower-scattering and a song J made up, the lyrics of which were “Fin, Fin, Fin, Fin. . . .” I would share the tune, except that it was pretty tuneless. I had attempted to press M into playing something on the recorder (it would … [Read more…]
I felt like I needed to update the Theater stuff because I keep hearing about more school plays. There are a ton this weekend. So, I’ll let you know about the other weekend events tomorrow, but it was pretty much unmanageable to try to get it all in one ginormous post. I’d share some clever … [Read more…]
Afrim’s is running a Spring Break Action Camp (multiple sports played for ages 3 to 11–click link for times & prices) and a Technical Training Camp (soccer skills for the 8 and up crowd–9:15 am-12:15 pm at $30/day or $125/week). – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – … [Read more…]
Another week, another bunch of things to do. Remember, if none of this appeals to you, that you should check out the regularly scheduled events from the What About TODAY? page. I have to tell you, sometimes this blog makes me feel a little bit guilty. There were so many events over the weekend, and … [Read more…]
Will the weekend be beautiful, or will the cold and gloomy weather move in early? The suspense is killing me, I tell you! But either way, there are so many great things to do this weekend. I mean, it’s ridiculous. You almost want to tell these organizers to talk to each other a bit. I … [Read more…]
