Tribeca Family Festival

We spent Saturday at the Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair . The Tribeca Film Festival puts it on every year and it was our first but not last time attending. It was so fun! We spent the entire day there. There were activities for every person in the family to enjoy. I had a blast. Best day of the month so far! Maybe next year we will attend of the films.   We entered at the right spot for the kids, the bubble tables! We have already gone through a bubble wand and have started on our second bottle of bubbles this season. They were especially excited to make the giant bubbles.  Henry was really good at the bubbles. He got a few big ones in and also got completely soaked. He had a blast. Got this girl a balloon. She asks for balloons all the time. I am glad we were able to make her balloon dreams come true. Minion sand sculpture. Those little guys in the movie make me laugh.  We were lucky and were right next to the puppet show when it started. We got to list

Welcome Spring!

Spring is here! The weather is in the 50s and on good days 60s and there was one day so far when I did not need to wear a huge coat! I should be out singing like the Who's down in Whoville do at Christmas time to welcome in Spring. The city is coming to life and it is a beautiful sight. We live close to a couple of community gardens and we have been checking out which flowers and plants are growing. When Grandma was here she read the kids The Runaway Bunny, and in the story it talked about the crocus flower which there happened to be some growing in one of the gardens next to us. Now every time we go by a crocus we have to take a picture with it. There Cosette is with the tiny yellow crocus blossoms.  We discovered some elephant statues one day close to our place. There were big ones and little ones. Cosette made sure to get her big one and that Henry had a little one because he is still a baby according to her. We are getting a lot more playground time and it is makin

Easter Festivities

The week leading up to Easter we participated in the usual Easter festivities. We colored eggs, went on an Easter egg hunt. Nothing grand, but we have lots of pictures to share. Henry's frist time dying Easter eggs. Cosete was so excited to color Easter eggs. She had been asking for day and days to color them.  The kiddos with their Papa. They hardly get to see him so it was super exciting to have him all to ourselves for one day. Getting ready to hunt some eggs. Henry's age group went first and he had such  a blast collecting the eggs.  Cosette and friend. She like collecting the eggs that were shaped liked popsicles and cupcakes. Before the hunt started she told me that she was going to find a pink egg. She accomplished that mission several times. We came home with several pink eggs.  My favorite picture from the outing. She came "doubly" prepared.  My babies and their baskets. We had friends over for Easter dinner
