I am an opinionated fun loving Stay At Home Mom from New York City. What I enjoy most is being around family and friends.I also enjoy entertaining, I am known to throw a great get together whether its a dinner party, a just because cookout or game night.
I live for trying new things and talking about them. I love to take candid pictures of everyone around me, for I believe those are the best. I am a proud mother to a teen, a toddler and an infant. I started over and couldn't ask for anything more.
I am at ease knowing that I will never be half as graceful as a ballerina, I will never be a mathematician and I will never be a spelling bee champ, and I am comfortable with that.
Today was Art Class, and boy did he have a good time. He impresses me with how well he plays with the other children. He is kind and uses his manners. Every morning before class I take a few minutes as I am getting him dressed to go over the rules, I let him know what I expect from him and how he is supposed to act. I have made a game out of is, a guessing game of sorts. I ask him what he is allowed to do and he will reply behave, and I will ask what he is not allowed to do and he will say either hit or bite. As we walk next door we go over how he is to listen to the teacher and say please and thank you and not take any toys from the other children. So far so good! Tomorrow is music, he wants to play the drums.
Afterward we went to the park and played in the sprinklers. We had to add something for Emily to do, as she was such a good girl during class today.
So Steve turned 13 a few weeks ago and refused a proper party, he wanted no presents (just cash lol ) no balloons no fanfare no nothing. So we invited over some family and friends for what I call Dinner Outside. I cooked a lot, we ate a lot and definitely LAUGHED A LOT
We had the pleasure of going our neighborhood kids group. Yesterday was our first day, he still hasn't stopped talking about playing with the "new" kids lolol
We hosted a Baby Shower Saturday Sept. 12th 2009. And had a blast! I have learned that no baby shower is complete without a fierce game of Charades !
We decorated Onsies for the baby to be. I made the chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered oreos and Eliane and I made chocolate lollipops. Millie and I painted over 100 butterflies, we had butterfly picture frames, wind charms & sun catchers. Elaine decorated the umbrella. Now on to Charades!
Mikes card was sailboat. Whatchu know about the standup worm! Even the mommy to be got into it. My hubby acting out a onsie!! Midway through the babies couldn't hang.
