Up North (& Out There doing it)

This is awesome

I've been so bad about posting consistenly recently. But I did capture a video a couple of weeks ago that I love. And yes, bottomless bowls of Ice Cream and Spiderman costumes are standard issue in our house.

 

So Smart, Almost missed it

Why I'm not sure that this isn't standard issue in bathroom design, but this old school urinal was so smart I almost missed it.

Priceless story from G

A mother of G's friend from day care is due any day now.

At circle time, they were discussing feelings and the teachers asked G about his...

Teacher: "How do you feel G?"

His response, "ANGRY!"

Teacher, "Why!? Why are you angry G?"

 G: "Because MY baby isn't here yet!"

Priceless!

Said 'Sign' for a 'Sign Hug'

From the last post, said sign from said hug!

Sign Hugs are the best

G sent home a sign from day care that S hung on our door that said 'I missed you Daddy' and it was the best to find coming home.

It also came with what G called a "sign hug," which is basically a full arms and legs wrap around hug that G gives.

They are awesome! And feel so good.

So I was pumped to see what #9, in a list of 'Ways to Calm Down' was giving a sign hug at school.

Just realizing there is so much to catch up on

Realizing that I've been negligent in posting and I've been missing out on writing down lots of awesome stuff.

G has just become such a character, it's been so funny to be focused on it.

But D has gotten really into Playmobil. Really into them. And it's something he can literally do for hours.

One of the more hilarious activities he likes to do with them. Recreate the picture scenes from the box (which of course we save) and he loves it.

So funny to watch.

A First

After 5 years of flawless execution, it finally happened. I missed my train and I'm going to be late picking up the Boys from day care. I'm so bummed and so pissed at myself.

It was one part, doing something unusual -- leaving from a different station. One part, out of practice -- I don't do this as often any more.

Totally sucks.

Said Perfectly

Found this book in the lobby of Daily Candy. It's as fabulous a looking space as you'd expect.

Could not say this better if I spent a year trying to.

For Real

Where we live. Now with a Kayak launch. How can't you love that.
