happy birthday

Today is my husband's birthday. Sadly we are not doing anything fun tonight (a basketball game for no. one) bu we will all go out to eat tomorrow night (his choice) and then he will pick a meal for me to make on Sunday.

Happy Birthday!

advice

On our walk yesterday no. four offered some advice to everyone before walking through the covered bridge, "watch out for cars and poop".

a day off

The kids had the day off from school and my husband took the day off. It was a beautiful fall day and we took advantage of the perfect weather. We did a big yard clean up in the morning and then a trip to the park for a walk in the afternoon.

weekend

It was a busy weekend (they are all pretty busy around here). On Friday I took the kids into NYC. We walked around for a bit before my husband could meet us. I stopped into Pylones, a great store that I have been in a few times. I bought myself a fun wallet in a great poppy print, very cool. We then walked down to my husband's new office, looked at the new space and hung out while he finished up. After we left we stopped into PINK. My husband just bought me a great shirt from PINK for my birthday and the shirts are beautiful. I picked up two more shirts, they were having a special promotion and I got 20% off which softens the blow a bit. After PINK we stopped into Crumbs to get the kids a treat. The four of them split a cupcake (they really are that big). Since it was the end of the day they were almost out of everything. I don't care for cake of any sort, but I would love to see them all there, I bet it looks wonderful.Then a walk down to Battery Park and then headed towards dinner. The group decided on Mandoo Bar again, which was fine with me. It was a long day and we did not get home until 10:30.

Saturday was filled with sports for the kids. It was such a nice day to be outside. We cooked out and had our first dinner outside. The kids love eating outside on the patio. It was late to bed so they could look for bats.

Sunday was a clean-up day in the yard. Since the weather has been cold for so long we have fallen very behind in the outside work.

Today it is awful weather again and it is forcasted to rain for the next three days. Sooner or later it will have to get warm and stay warm, right?

half days

The kids had a half day yesterday, another today and one more tomorrow. Yesterday was an awful day. It was cold and rained for most of the day. I popped a big bowl of popcorn and put on a movie for the kids. Today the weather is much better. It is still a bit cool, but at least the sun is shining. I am going to take the kids to lunch and then send them out to play before the evening activities start. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful out so I have decided to take them into New York. We will head downtown and see my husbands new office and then maybe walk over to the South Street Seaport and then out to dinner. The last time we went to a great place in Koreatown, Mandoo Bar, and to tell you the truth I would not mind going there again, but we'll see.

thirty six

I am thirty six today and that seems pretty darn old.

dye

We spent the evening getting ready for the easter bunny to come. Lots and lots of eggs were dyed.
