Well, according to my calendar this is October, but it sure didn't feel that way as Daddy, Zach and Miranda bopped around Brooklyn this past weekend (actually the weekend before last) - and it was witness to lots of sweaty stroller pushing!Of course the images that go along with this post will be added when I have the camera processed, so keep checking back. Hopefully this will be the last time you have to wait, as I will be receiving my new digital camera (courtesy of Jon and Allison) sometime this week!
My weekend with the monkeys started off with an enjoyable Friday evening. Miranda and I made homemade split-pea soup while Zachy chilled with his Thomas train set. It was a very cute scene: Daddy cooking with Miranda standing on a chair next to me. She enjoyed running her hands through each ingredient (we washed them first), and both of us got a case of the sneezes when she played with a handful of pepper.
Saturday morning we stopped at the post office then went to the Sensory Gym per usual and, after Zach got going, Miranda and I went on our usual rounds: cookie meeting, Riteaid, the pet store, etc. After collecting Zach, who had a good session, we went back to Daddy's house to spruce ourselves up for a birthday party. Our friends Barry and James (twins) were celebrating turning 5 years old, and we met them at the local Pizza joint for some tasty treats and camaraderie.
After the party, we did a little browsing at the toy store so that Daddy could get some ideas for Zach and Miranda's impending birthdays, then off we went to our favorite park on Shore Road for some exercise. After all the sun, fun and excitement, our little ones were pretty worn out, so we had a nice dinner, took our baths and had our quiet time and bed times a bit on the early side.
On Sunday we did a lot of running around, hit a couple of different parks, collected acorns and pine cones and generally enjoyed the fine weather. With Halloween looming (Miranda wants to be a mermaid), we also decided to go out and pick a pumpkin. I should note that "pumpkin-picking" in Brooklyn entails going from bodega to bodega and haggling with Koreans, and lacks any of the romance of Old MacDonald and his farm. We had fun just the same and came home with three nifty pumpkins - one of which was of carving size. Unfortunately, we ran out of weekend before getting around to carving it, so that will have to wait until next time.
That's about it - make sure to check back in a week or so for all the yummy pictures!
