Fun Times In NYC

After the wedding weekend, Jason and I drove into the city for a couple days/nights. It was a quick trip (maybe an hour) with relatively little traffic. Here's a funny sign we found along the way: 


Jason had reserved a room at the Holiday Inn in Midtown West on 57th Street. We arrived, checked in, and headed out to sightsee.



I'm not sure if he knew it at the time he made the reservation, but our hotel was just a block from the Hell's Kitchen district in NYC. We lucked out and happened upon a HUGE street fair running about 25 blocks of the city!



This is Mexican corn on a stick and it was delicious!

Jason enjoyed a sausage sandwich

We stopped for beers at a Peroni truck along the fair route and I just had to take pictures of these girls who were dancing to the music coming from a DJ booth just inside the restaurant.

After eating a bit more and just taking in the sites, we kept walking. I snapped this picture because it's the most ridiculous parking garage I've ever seen:


We found ourselves in Times Square, along Broadway, and then back to Hell's Kitchen for some NY pizza.


Inside one of the places we stopped (in search of possible theater tickets), I found this board. There were hundreds of messages printed on small squares of paper posted around a picture of Dick Clark. They are going to be dropped at midnight in Times Square as part of the confetti! 

This guy was painting entirely with spray paint and a few scraping tools...incredible!

 After all that walking, we enjoyed various slices of pizza and had a blast!


Here's Hell's Kitchen AFTER the street fair...disgusting!


Here's a picture of Jason in Times Square

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
