New York City Adventures!

Brick Oven Pizza - The Way it Should Be!
We had a glorious weekend in New York City. The weather was beautiful and sunny. As Alice mused: "This is the world of Spring, we live in the world of Winter." So true.

We arrived on Friday morning and after naps, the girls and I headed to SoHo to visit my BFF Sonja -- we ate at a cute cupcake place on Prince Street and caught up. Then it was off to find shoes for Leah, who left her sneakers at school and needed a sturdy pair of walking shoes to keep up with me. Along the way, we had adventures as we always do when visiting a city (boys bathroom!). We found a cute kids store near University Place and then found a brick oven pizza joint. Yum!

The next day, we explored Central Park in the morning and then met up with cousins Hannah and Hayley, Aunt Jen, Grandma and Grandpa! Grandma got the girls tickets to see Pinkalicious, the Musical! So much fun! The cousins, of course, were very, very excited to see each other. Squealing and laughing.

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
