A Day in DC

One of the girls' favorite things to do with Daddy: Explore museums. A day in Washington, D.C. was just the ticket.

First Day of Preschool! Finally!

Noodle started preschool today! She is so excited. Snappy started school about a week ago, and it's been torture for poor Noodle to watch her big sister get on the bus every day and leave her home with boring mom. There have been many tears. Many tantrums. But finally, her day came.

First Day of School! Finally!

Thanks to Hurricane Irene, the first 5 days of school were canceled. Snappy's school didn't have power, plus there were many trees and branches obstructing the bus routes. But finally, after Labor Day, she went back to school! The smile on her excited face was a bright ray of sunshine on a wet, dreary day.

State Fair

I hate the fair.

I hate the crowds.
I hate the rides.
I hate the noise.
I hate the prices.
I hate the greasy food...

Lucky for my kids, however, their father LOVES the fair as much as they do! So I do my time for the first hour or two for the sake of family togetherness, and to get a few pictures. Then, under the guise of having to get the little one home for a nap, I skiddadle while Snappy, Noodle and Daddy stay and live it up.

Everybody wins!
