4/4/09--VERY BUSY DAY

9am --we skipped soccer today because Amanda woke up yesterday barking/croup and is on three days of prednisone 10am--Hoboken Catholic Acad. Easter Egg hunt at Elysian park very windy and brisk out today--but not raining. We were there until 11am. Ran to Edgewater--quick lunch at McD's then over to 12 Noon Barnes and Noble book signing/reading. Casey and Bella

We met the actual dogs, Casey and Bella in person and the author (we are going to get her to come to our school) Casey and Bella go to NYC and Casey and Bella go to Hollywood. I highly recommend them. They have good story lines, teach a lesson, and most importantly a portion of the books proceeds benefits Hoboken's Jubilee Center. 2pm--Hoboken Public Library --Live turle show then stay and read books at the library with friends for a while

6pm--Claire plays a piano recital. She was excellent! Abbey keeping quiet--not so good.

Other days I don't have anything to do with my kids---today we crammed in a ton of stuff. We even skipped ballet class at 11am--but we will do a make-up.

4/3/09--Puppet show fundraiser

There was a puppet show to raise money for the HOPES program here in town. The girls love love love puppet shows and what better way to spend a Friday evening than with friends. Notice--Amanda always sits right up front. I don't know how she manages to do it--but she does.

3/31/09--Abbey's pony

Abbey will rarely let me put a ponytail in her hair--but when she does I think she looks so adorable. It only last a little while so I took a picture (ofcourse she got mad at me--notice the hand and the dirty look). Enjoy!

3/29/09--Children's Museum of Manhattan

What to do on a rainy overcast day-we tried something new and checked out the CMOM. Tons of fun. They even had a free concert there featuring Bubles--they sang all Beatles songs (a nice change from all kiddie music) After the museum we had pizza and then went to West Side Kids toy store!

3/24/09--Durkin Ladies

The Durkin women came over for dinner and play time this evening. Thank you for the yummy brownies and the girls ice pops. We enjoyed your company. Do you really have to move?

3/23/09-- Cousin Fran visits

Cousin Fran came over for dinner! We had a lovely evening and found out cousin Krystle is expecting! We are so happy for her. The girls loved their fancy Carlos cupcakes and thank you Fran for bring a cake to celebrate my birthday. Two days two parties.

3/22/09--Cat's 35th
