Check out Kirstin's latest post.....it really is something to think about.

Prayer

One day I told L that we needed to say a prayer on the food. After looking at me with a puzzled look on his face this is how I found him a minute later.....literally saying a prayer on his food.

Labor of Love

I don't know if I posted this before (too lazy to look) but this is just a nice little blurb about a midwife who lives and practices here in the city. She wrote a book called Labor of Love which I am excited to read.

old man

We went to the Y to swim and L hiked his pants all the way up....just like an old man :) Also he looks so much like me as a kid in this one....family of mine what do you think?

Good children

Just put your head down, don't talk and eat your food like good kids.

Ahhh...thats my kind of dinner.


Just kidding....sort of. This was the only picture where they weren't blinking. We went to this cute little organic pizza place that was actually pretty yummy and the kids loved it. There were even pillows on the benches, which of course I stressed over. I could just see a little greasy saucy hand grabbing at them.

**I just realized that the picture never showed up. sorry to all of my loyal fans.

Debt

This is funny cuz its true.

Rice Rice baby

The night we went to see Omar sing we decided to make it a girls date. We ran across this little shop and thought we'd give it a try. The highlight wasn't the 250 different types of rice pudding but it was the group of bikers dudes from Queens (at least they looked like they were) that were there as well. We had driven the scooter there so we instantly gained some points with them when they saw our helmets.

This dude sat at the entrance and while eating his rice pudding said hi to all the girls that walked by. I only felt special for about 20 seconds until he said it to the next girl. Poor me.

Notice a. the killer awesome helmet with the built in mohawk and b. our boring ones on the end.

This guy asked us to take a picture of him and his friends so we asked them to take one of us. And lucky for us he jumped in at the last second. And no, sadly he isn't squatting down to be our height.

Here is the pudding. My review: Good for the first 2 bites and then toooo much pudding.

So cute

Need I say more?

My Homie Omie

My friend Omar has a band called Crash Boom Bang. I hadn't heard him sing since his high school days when he would sing "only you" but he would replace your name with you. When I heard he was coming to NYC I knew I had to see him sing. So Karley and I headed down to the lower east side to a teeny tiny little bar. He did an acoustic set and he was awesome! It was so fun to catch up with my homie Omie (which is what I used to call him cuz I'm coo like that) Anyway, I love his CD and the girl that he tours around with is Stacy Clark and she is amazing too. On a side note the guy who produced his CD is the singer from the Plain White Tees. Yeah and we bailed when they started making people buy drinks...5 bucks for seltzer? No gracias.





Take a listen to three of his songs

Forever in Love

Are you Ready?

Thank You

Stacy sounded so amazing acoustic so I had to adjust to hearing her with all the bells and whistles. Here is one of her songs.

Say What you Want

Thoughts on a kids party from E.

Man this party is so lame! Its just for babies.

No way I won't help, I'm too cool for school.

Hey, this clown from Jersey is actually kinda funny!

Hee hee hee... I love this party! I wonder what she'll do next?



*sorry for the terrible quality of pictures...again, my camera sucks. And the party really was fun and the kids loved it, and the cake was to die for!

Buddies

Even though L pretends not to love Xan man....he really does and they are buddies.

Street Art

Haha! Love NY. E was a great subject and these girls in Union Square were cute. And my camera pretty much sucks. Any good suggestions that aren't expensive monster cameras?

Bowling Partay

E was invited to a bowling party. She is um really good at bowling. Ahem...

I think its gonna make it.

Dang! A gutter ball.

UN again

I am running way behind on the blog...again so therefore the next few weeks will be updates from the past month or so.

The UN General Assembly happened AGAIN, we keep hoping that they'll cancel it. Sigh. This is a picture of me waiting to cross the street for 15 minutes!! Argh. Each corner looked like the one opposite me, crowds of people most with places to go, but some tourist with no place to go. (which is annoying because they think its just delightful that Obama will be driving by and can't wait to snap a photo of his car) You can read my rant here from last year.

Cupcakes

We tried these two cupcakes places....on the same day, but only b/c the cupcake stop truck happened to be a block away from Melissa's in SOHO :) My reviews:





Teensy tiny...tasted like store bought.

Same as above.

I think I will stick with good 'ol Buttercup, which I know a lot of people don't like b/c they are too dry, but I love them b/c they taste homemade...gasp! Oh and I also love love love Butterlane, but Buttercup is only 2 blocks away.
