What a lovely weekend!


Wasn't it a beautiful weekend? We really enjoyed the beautiful weather that we had and took advantage of it as much as possible. We spent a lot of time walking around the city. I know I walked about seven miles one day. My feet are still a little bit sore. It was so worth it though. 

We had the worst week. All of us were sick and it was miserable for a few days around here. Mommas and Pappas do not get sick days, which is so sad. Thankfully we were all healed by the weekend and ready to play. And play we did. 

The stroller races!



She took Memi all around the MET in her stroller. 

 

Cosette enjoyed a Sprinkles mini strawberry cupcake. And she fell asleep curled up in stroller, dead to the world after playing at the park. 


We got a chance to sneak in a date this weekend. We went to Eataly and enjoyed the most delicious roasted veggie sandwhiches on the most delicious foccacia bread ever! I want some more of that summer squash foccacia bread. It was delicious! The weather was too good to eat inside so we enjoyed a picinic in Madison Square. It was lovely. 



Madison Square always has interesting art exhibits going on. Look, a wall made of blue yarn. 


Mmmmm...gelato!

 

We went to see a show, down in the village at the Rattlestick theatre. Micheal Urie did a one man show about a guy who worked for Barbra Streisand in her storage-room mall. You should look it up and go see it to really understand. So funny! We laughed and laughed and have since watched some Barbra Streisand films and are kind of becoming a little obsessed with her (but not really). That picture of the Waverly Place street sign was taken for Hannah and Ethan. (Shout out to Disney fans!)



Fresh handmade pasta!


Two gelatos are better than one. I was a little adventurous and tried a banana chocoalte sorbet. Sometimes adventures are not so fun. Lyndon was sweet and let me try some of his mint chocoalte chip. It was better than mine. 


Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
