Mama's takin' us to the zoo tomorrow.

We tried to go to the Bronx Zoo today. It didn't work. They closed the parking lots cause they were full.. gotta love Jewish holidays. This is about as close to the zoo as we got.

Instead we went to the botanical gardens in the Bronx. They are beautiful! Claire had fun.

Happy Birthday to Claire

Claire had a great birthday! (everything will be underlined because my genius daughter is the queen of hot keys that mommy doesn't know)
She ate cake and opened presents. She enjoyed both a lot.
The cake maybe more. Judge for yourself.











She also got a baby and marvels at the size of it's tiny finger.. full circle huh?

My Contribution

So I was 'challenged' to see what I could come up with to top my sister in annoying after she posted the video for choreography. (I did not spell it right the first time) :) Here goes:

Go in Your House...

Every woman needs a good pair of sunglasses that will tell the whole world to just 'go in your house and leave me alone'.
Claire has a cold and is VERY booger-y for some reason this is tied to wearing sun glasses. Before this, she never would leave them on.... I guess sometimes you just wanna hide.

A Jump on Fashion

Claire insists on wearing this shirt this way, I fix it, she re-fixes it. I put her down to nap and she gets up looking like this... How funny.

In Case you Didn't Beleive Me

By The Way

BTW, babies in hoodies and jeans and ponytails are sooo cute!

Miss Brenda posted about shoes and I have to say that I heard something rustling in my dining room and then I saw Claire come around the corner with these bags stuck to her feet and the napkins clutched in her arms and I just busted up laughing! It's the rustling that I can't take... It's good to laugh.

This Hammoky Thing

Friend or Stranger?

Old friends resurfacing is strange. Especially when the relationship is awkward to begin with and then add a few odd years of distance and you have a strange situation. But sometimes those people have an odd way of bringing clarity to your circumstances. They may not know the back story, or any of the current one, but somehow they know exactly what to say to help you get those tears out that you've been holding in and move past whatever is to make you smile. I don't know what it is but friends truly are forever, like once you've bonded that's it for life. You may go separate ways, choose opposing paths or just drift to different sides of the same road but someday your journeys will cross again, at the best time or the worst time and you'll fall right into step, synced up perfectly by the Master who built your path.

Love of Her Life

Sadly the newest love of our life lives in a mason jar and loses his powers to amaze once he leaves it.... She is a strange old bird.

Suba?
