A Curry of a Life

My Henry turned two last week. These two years have flown by! How is my little big boy so big now? He is the sweetest little sweetheart. We had a wonderful time celebrating him last week. And I could go on about him for hours. Before he was born I was so worried about having a boy, but he has turned our world into one full of joy and sunshine. Seriously this boy is the happiest little buddy. I had a friend's mom tell me ages ago that girls clothes are awesome, but boy toys are so much cooler. She was totally right. Henry really likes playing with his toys. Cosette is an artist and loves to create things, but Henry is all about making his dinosaurs, horses, dog go "roar"! He will come up to you and just "roar" at you. It's kind of awesome. Here are a few things about Henry: He loves cars. He especially likes vans when we are out walking around. He eats sand like it's candy (totally gross, but nothing I do makes a difference). It's good for the

This little lady started Pre-k a couple of weeks ago. It has been a really great thing. She is excited every morning she has school and when I pick her up she is always happy and smiling. Her first two days were short days and then she went full day. That day was a little hard for me. She was great, but I was kind of sad. I didn't think I would get sad, but It was hard her leaving that day. The school is really close to our apartment so I could make an excuse to walk by it on our outing that day. I am a stalker mom. One of her best friends goes to the same program. It has been really fun because since most of her friends are in school now we can meet up with them afterwards for some good playground fun. That's our life right now. So exciting!! Well today is the first day of fall so I can now start saying happy fall! Henry misses Cosette when she is at school, but having me all to himself f(or the most part) makes up for it.  This was her reaction after the first day

Me and the kids took Lyndon to experience the Highline on Saturday. It is one thing that he has not done because of school or work. Me and the kids we just get to play, and the city is our playground. And really we have only seen one section of the high line because that's just how it's gone down. We spent the whole afternoon there and really experienced it. And we got to contribute to a public art piece! Plus the Japanese curry taco at Chelsea Market made for a pretty much perfect outing.  I love this city! The Highline is an old above ground train track that is not longer in use and has been turned into a public park. It is pretty neat to walk above the city but still be surrounded by it. Parts of the walking path still maintain part of the old train track reminding us of what it used to be. It's pretty great. Lyndon and his sail boat. Cosette told me that we were in a forest while we were walking through here. You know, it kind of felt like we were.

Labor Day  kind of marked the end of summer for us. Cosette starts school this week and cooler weather is setting in on the city, which I am not too sad about. Hopefully I will no longer be constantly wet throughout the day. New York apartments are not equipped for summer heat, at least ours is not. We went out to Brooklyn to take the kids to the Brooklyn Water lab. It was fun to explore a little more of the area and see some pretty spectacular view of the city. I love that we can call this place home. The kids had a blast at the water lab. Henry insisted that I run through part of it with him and would not go unless I ran through it with him. It was sweet to hear his cries of joy as we ran through the sprinklers together. I remind myself that this time where he always wants me around will not last forever, so I run through the sprinklers with him and get all wet. We met up with friends so Cosette was happy running around with her buddies. There were these plaque
