6/10/08--Princess Katie and Racer Steve

Shipyard concert tonight featured Pricess Katie and Racer Steve. We love their song entitled--"We Dress Ourselves." 100 degree heat again--but at least at 7pm it is a little cooler. The girls enjoy our weekly concert/picnic.

6/8/08-Kiddipallooza

Today was kiddipallooza in Hoboken on pier a. Polka Dot performed, there was a bouncey house--but it was too hot (100 degrees out today), sand art, plant a flower booth, Amanda got cotton candy, balloon animals, bubbles, arts and crafts, train rides, pony rides, and other area businesses that are related to kids offered different things at their tables. Amanda got sunscreen in her eyes--what a nightmare. After we were able to wash it out--the day went much better. The girls love making sand art. Afterwards the girls cooled off in the seal sprinklers at the park. What a hot day!

6/7/08--Ocean Grove, NJ

We drove down to OG today. The weather was predicted to be 95 hot and humid in Hoboken--but at the beach it seemed 10 degees cooler. The water was only in the 50s--but we were able to put our toes in. We had lunch with cousin Fran and Krystle at the Rasberry Cafe.

6/4/08--Playdate at the White House

That has a cool ring to it--at The White House!!!! It was so hot outside--but the girls were having fun splashing in the pool, eating popcicles and doing paints on the lawn to notice.

6/3/08--Summer concerts in the Shipyard

Every Tuesday evening throughout the summer there are kiddie concerts on the Shipyard lawn/stage. The first week was American family jamboree. Amanda was so excited because her friend Matthew was going to be there. Abbey kept running all over the place--nothing can keep the girl still.

6/1/08- Nathaniel is 4!

Another party today! We drove out to Fairfield,NJ for this one at Fun Time Junction (kinda like Chucky Cheese). Amanda and Abbey loved playing in the playhouse, with the games, going through the tunnels, and esp. making sand art!!!!

5/31/08--Clare's 4th Birthday party

Clare S. is 4!!!! We went up to her new home in Suffern, NY for the party. They had a super face painter there. It was Abbey's first time getting her face painted. She got a flower. Amanda got two--cinderella on her arm and a star with a rainbow on her cheek. The sandbox was a big hit as well.
