Our Animal:

Eats a lot.
Makes LOOOOOUUUUDD noises.
Crawls on all fours (yes, STILL).
Makes messes wherever she goes.
Climbs.  

I like this bear cub. I think we'll keep her. I'll just have to take down this ladder.

Butterfly Beauties

2 beauties. She makes me happy. My perfect first child.  

(Taken when visiting the NC Muds at the Science Center).

Man, I miss those curls. I was informed the other day that they probably won't grow back. Crap.

The City That Never Sleeps

I was once told that you should leave your husband every year: overnight, with the kids. Just so he knows what you do. Well, I have finally done it, and he passed with flying colors. I don't think they even missed me. Granted, I did take boo, so he only had 2 kids. Boo and I rode the bus with Auntie M, Auntie J., Grandma A, and Cousin E and graced the city with our presence. We walked forever and my 5 year-old NEVER complained! She was born for the city.

Some highlights:

Afternoon tea at the American Girl Cafe (and Boo got an American Girl Doll--YOWSERS $$$)

Rockefeller Center

Shopping

Mary Poppins on Broadway

NY Pizza

Shopping

NY Public Library

Shopping

Ann's Bakery--yum.

Can't wait until the next time!! And a special thanks to Adri, Mom Mud and my hot husband for watching the younger two so we could go!! Happy Mother's Day to me!

Hi Ho Cherry (Rewinding our life)

The perfect picnic--Orangina, sandwiches, chips and homemade cookies + the Cherry Blossoms.  

Just one of the things I love about D.C. and S. working downtown.

Thomas. Again?

Losing 5 Thomas trains=going to see the REAL Thomas.   

We went to Baltimore with Little Man's best friend, Ry and rode Thomas.  Okay, so it was Thomas attached to the MARC train, but they didn't know.  

My battery died so I am waiting for better pictures from my friend.  More to come.
