Little Speak

 

 

 

 

 

Mommy, I think people look better with clothes on.

~ Emerson, 6 1/2. Her comment to me as I stepped out of the shower.  Clearly, my beach body needs work.

 

 

 

 

 

Rainstorms in Central Park are Fun.

If you're going to get caught in a passing shower, it might as well be on a bike in Central Park.  Or, more precisely, huddled under the hot dog guy's canopy and then on a bike.

Like always, NY was da bomb.

Max couldn't get enough of the rock climbing, Eme ran into a friend in Time Square {of all the..!}, Billy Webb had hunger pains and me, I got to see a mini ballet and indulge in room service.

It was a birthday/Mother's Day for the ages.

 

 

Would you believe in all our family trips to NYC, my kids have yet to see a Broadway show. 

Next time, it's tops on my list!

Mommy, why aren't there any girl Presidents?

~Emerson, 6 1/2.  Her random question on our drive to NY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Max,

Yellow is out.

Capes are in.

You're obsessed with Super Heroes.

When I mentioned the possibility of visiting the Empire State Building you announced your plans to jump from the top to see if you could fly like one. {we didn't go, so no jumping.}

From Captain America and SuperMan, to Flash and Spider man - you love them all.

And, my sweet son, I love you.

 

 

 

annual retreat

 

This trip couldn't have been any more different than our last.

But come to think of it, there was one common theme - vacation bliss.

Thanks, Mom. 

 

Love outdoor adventures?  You'll find it here.

road trip

Sure, Billy Webb would probably love a hotel toom all to himself, but we crash this annual trip anyway!

Rain drove us indoors Friday night, luckily that meant Aquarium! 

That cheerleading competition was a bonus.

Most trips include bubbles {and a snack}.

This trip included a cape.

swim

 

I can't blame him, really. 

It really has been cold. 

You wouldn't catch me in that water. 

Pip?  She's a warrior.

So, for now, what started as lessons for two will continue as a lesson for one.

My dear son has opted out.
