NYC- Day 2

On our second day in NYC, we woke up to dismal conditions. I had my heart set on running through Central Park, but Mother Nature had a different plan:( Instead, we headed out for breakfast at a small restaurant about a block from the hotel. Then we ran across the street to a CVS and purchased much needed umbrellas for the day. 

We decided to hop on the subway and head to the MET. That's where we met our second roadblock of the day...apparently museums are closed for individual tours on Mondays. BUMMER! No worries. We were able to take a lovely, albeit rainy, stroll through Central Park. It's such a gorgeous place, that even the rain couldn't take away from it's beauty. Plus, we basically had the park to ourselves because the mini lakes forming along the pathways kept away the less determined sightseers. Here are a couple of the rainy photos we took in the park:


We wandered up from the MET to the Guggenheim, but the line to enter was around the block and continued for further than we could see. Instead of waiting around, we decided to just keep walking. We found this cool fountain along the way: 


Finally, we headed to the financial district in hopes of catching a glimpse through the fog of the new World Trade Center. It's still under construction, but it was quite a site!







And after much wandering, we managed to see the Statue of Liberty at a distance:


Despite the rain, we made the most of our second day in the city. That night we went to a Yankee's game, but that deserves a post all of its own!

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!"
