We spent all day outside today, and I am super-tired. Actually, last night I had a terrible night’s sleep due to over-caffeination.  I am such a freakin’ lightweight. I rarely drink coffee and I try not to drink much soda, but now that I’m getting to be an old hag, even chocolate can put me … [Read more…]
How about this super-fabulous day? Did you get to play outside? I hope so. J & I took the Trail-gator over to Schenectady’s Central Park in the morning. I’m pleased to report that it is almost completely dried out, at least on the little kids’ side. Alas, with joy comes sorrow, and I must tell … [Read more…]
Guess who is leaving our household? That’s right: it’s the Barbie Island Princess Head! She has never been a particular favorite of mine, and now J’s decided that she’s ready to move on. She brought her to me saying, “Maybe we could give her to someone who needs some toys. If they don’t mind that … [Read more…]
Wasn’t I just telling you that you should probably be reading Nippertown? Well, I have to plug them again for sharing the link to the live webcam of a hummingbird nest, complete with hatching eggs! How fun is that? I would like to show my children, but they are outside playing, and I can’t exactly … [Read more…]
As you may have guessed, I was not able to make my house presentable and create a quality post before the 4 o’clock birthday party. And now I’m feeling rawther exhausted because I ice skated for about 2 hours yesterday, had people over until 10:30-which-felt-like-11:30 last night, and, last but not least, I managed to … [Read more…]
We’re tidying up for a dinner tonight. If the house becomes presentable before the afternoon birthday party, I’ll try to come up with something fun to share with you.
All hail spring! Wasn’t yesterday wonderful? I was volunteering for our after school program, and when that was over, there were tons of us hanging out at the playground.  We tried to head for home, but M started playing with a neighbor, and when J saw that it was a gathering including several kids and … [Read more…]
Another fabulous day! I hope that you’re all having fun playing outside! Yesterday, I spent an exhausting morning at nursery school because I was the official class picture day helper.  I remember that once, before I had children, I went along to a birthday party with my sister and niece and I couldn’t believe how … [Read more…]
Hey, I realized that I’ve done more than 100 posts now! Yay, me. Actually, I’ve been a little bit bummed because after steadily climbing in readership for a while, I’ve leveled off in the last couple of weeks. It’s true that I haven’t been very good about passing around those cute cards, which would help, … [Read more…]
No, neither am I. It’s way too cold for me. But did you realize that, during the school year, places offer the opportunity for some overnight fun? The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology has camp-ins that cost $30/child and include activities, a planetarium show, a light snack, and breakfast. Individuals can come to a … [Read more…]
