Rockin Saturday Night

By
Oh how things change - case in point, our Saturday nights.

Two years ago, we'd likely be out with friends starting with dinner reservations between 9 and 10. Followed by drinks, out until 2 (or occasionally later) in the evening.

Last night wasn't exactly that model. Here's how the night unfolded:
  • 6:00 - small feed for Jack and then bathtime.
  • 6:15 - Justin starts cooking dinner (wow, eating at home rather than ordering!)
  • 6:45 - rocking Jack to go to sleep
  • 7:30 - Jack down
  • 7:40 - Justin and I sit down for dinner - I think this is great, I could be asleep by 9 pm!
  • 7:55 - Jack starts to whimper. Justin goes to calm him, I start to clean up.
  • 8:00 - Justin realizes that Jack is hungry as his cries increase. We hand off tasks.
  • 8:02 - Jack's crying. Mel (our orange tabby cat) pukes on the rug next to the dining table.
  • 8:50 - finish dinner and cleaning once the chaos clears!
Sweet. Not exactly your rockin NYC Saturday night!

Don't worry, I'm not posting pictures.

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

By
Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
