Next to our building we have a ridiculously overpriced flower shop. They sell 18" topiary's for $150 bones! Anyway, they throw a lot of stuff out and this time I snagged these beauties! ain't no shame!

Field day!
Levi had field day at his school. Well not so much AT school (since of course his school doesn't have a field) as on 53rd and 11th....wha?? Only like NYC light years away from where most of the kids in his school live. Oh well, it was so fun to see Levi in action, he is quite the little athlete!
See his stilt skills? I see a future in circus performing....

Friends
These guys were pretty good friends. Most of the time. All three of them are gorgeous and they come from diverse backgrounds. We have Matisse who is half Sri Lankan and half Puerto Rican who speaks French and Sathya who is Indian, but who also speaks French.
I think that Levi looks just like me as a kid in this picture :)

Tired.
Sundays are rough for little Leavers. He came home threw a tantrum and zonked out on the couch. Phew! But isn't he beautiful? Look at those lips!!

Happy Birthday Can Man!!
Happy birthday (1 month late) to the best man! We love you Can!
Peek a boo! We went to this cute restaurant in the East village where there was seating for 6. Yes that is right 6. We were sitting at a table for 4 when a group of 3 came in. We offered to move to the small table since, duh where would they have sat!?
Our birthday sign that we've had for about 7 years!
Can's one request was that I make him a yummy chocolate cake Non gluten free. So I did and it was great! (don't worry Levi had a gluten free doughnut. There is a place on 77th and Lex, it's pretty good)
We went to dinner at a fancy Mexican restaurant called Maya and it was amazing! Then we went to the singles conference that he has been working hard on for months....good times ;)

Bag It....watch IT!!
This was such a great movie. It was a great reminder to cut down on my bag consumption. I don't use grocery bags but I do collect them from others to be used as my garbage bags. We usually use 1 grocery bag every 2 days for trash. I am a bag freak. Cannon teases me that I name my plastic bags. I get super upset when he brings one home from the store :) Here in NYC, they double bag EVERYTHING!! It drives me batty! I also wash out any ziploc bag that crosses my path (I don't buy them, but collect them as they come into my life....and then I name them) That said, I do buy lettuce and other food products in plastic packaging. I take my own produce bags to the store and buy some products in bulk, but I could do better.
I also love how it tackles the chemicals in personal care products. This is something that I feel very strongly about. There are so many natural products to use instead of crap on your body. Oil instead of lotions, natural shampoos (castille soap is great) or homemade soaps. And, my biggest peeve of all is smelly shampoos and lotions for babies. If you know me well you know that I don't shower often and bathe my children even less. Laziness? Perhaps, but why do babies need to be bathed every night? They are so sweet smelling, I mean unless you are putting your nose right up to their bum all the time....
This movie has inspired me to be a better, smarter consumer!
