halloween 2013

Hope you had a Happy Halloween! We sure did. My costume this year didn't quite pan out; I wore my third choice (there's always next year). Last minute running around didn't prove to be fruitful, but seeing the smile on Noah's face yesterday in his little train engineer getup reminded me why we do all of this in the first place. It's all for him and to hell with everything else. :)

{long} weekend in pictures

How was everyone's long weekend? Only 16 more days until Halloween! Are you ready? The three of us have like 1/3 of our costume; so together we have a whole! Seriously, we better get our shit together. I've been so focused on decorating our place that costume planning has fallen by the wayside. Now that I'm satisfied with how our decorations look, I have some researching to do.  My frye boots look as good as the day I got them! Can you tell these babies are 4 years young!? Frye boots are like fine wine, they truly get better with age and are worth every damn penny. And can I tell you how perfect they are for running after a toddler at IKEA all day!? Truly. 
I love this city Sunset view of the Bay from Brooklyn  My boy is such a little man...he finds climbing steps entertaining. :) Which begs the question, when exactly do we lose our innocence and become so cynical and nasty?! Buuuuut, that's a story for another day.  Apple Picking=Apple Overload=Apple Crisp

By the way, please help me in wishing my little blog here a happy 2nd anniversary! Thank you loyalists for sticking with me here, reading my crazy talk day after day, and coming back for more! I'm sending each and every one of you a virtual hug. Spread the love!

It's been a while since I've done one of these posts, so without further ado here are some scenes I've captured in the city over the summer months. goodbye summer, it was fun! {raw bar} {west village home} {otto in the west village} {fine coffee-roasting at La Colombe Torrefaction}  {bicycle in SoHo} {CMoM Night} {statue of liberty in the distance}

the county fair

We took Noah to a Fair on the Upper West Side this past weekend and although it wasn't exactly what we expected, it was still fun to get out and enjoy the beautiful day as summer quickly winds down. As I've mentioned before, we love to explore this beautiful city we call home and any chance we get to be outdoors and tasting local eats we are game. See, we're not hard to please. :) Wherever we go, food follows us. Or we follow it. Tomato, Tom-a-to!  He was more interested in chasing after other little kids, and picking up sticks and leaves than posing with mommy.  I have to be honest; I have no idea what they were singing but the backdrop looked pretty.  This was the extent of their "petting zoo." Not very exciting. Moving on.  Not the prettiest water to look at (ha, ha) but kayaking is one of the very many free activities NY has in the summer. That should count for something, right?! ;)  Any day spent with these two men is a happy one in my book! Photo 5 by Larry; all others taken by me


HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
