Bubbles!

Over the last couple of weeks, the kids and I have stopped in the down town quilt stores at least three times (more visits than I typically make in a year). Just a few doors up from the quilt shop is our favorite toy store. I don't know where I've been, but until this month, the kids and I had never noticed the blowing bubbles teddy bear hanging outside their shop door. Now we can't go down town without spending at least 15 minutes outside their shop popping bubbles. It's great fun to watch them play and to watch the faces of the adults walking by two little kids running and jumping and giggling and laughing with delight!

Yet another reason to go back to NYC!

This morning while feeding Alex, I flipped on the TV. It was on the Discovery Channel leftover from last nights viewing of Myth Busters, and I caught 20 minutes of a show called CASH CAB. Now this is an innovative game that is surprisingly fun to watch... and based on my 20 minute preview, one I could do well at.

What do you think?

The above picture is of a tree we found Monday morning in the preschool parking lot. Over the weekend a very large limb broke off the tree, landing in the parking lot covering two spaces. When we got there to pick up Sam, Emily's explanation of what happened was:

"Five grown-ups climbed up there and stood on it and broke it...
One of the grown-ups wasn't being a good example."
