Picasso? and Storytime at Barnes and Noble

This morning, Clara and Emma both showed Mommy how they can play peek-a-boo themselves- by covering their eyes. It was a nice morning, so Mommy walked Clara and Emma to school (n the stroller). Both Clara and Emma drew again and today, Clara tried painting. She couldn't get enough- she kept returning to the easel to work on her piece. Because Emma doesn't really stand without assistance, she didn't try today, but maybe next week! Emma enjoyed playing in the kitchen.

After a nap, Clara and Emma drove to White Plains with Mommy to pick up Auntie Alyssa and off to Target the ladies went! During the quick stop at Nordstrom Rack, Auntie Alyssa found out that there was storytime at 2 at the Barnes and Noble downstairs. Mommy had heard that it was one of the best around- and of course, it was! It was lots of fun and featured songs and stories (and kids all dressed up in their Halloween outfits).

Clara and Emma were pooped and napped on the way home and transferred to their cribs for a longer nap. They both enjoyed some chocolate milk before a quick outing to Stop and Shop- where it was fun to see Jennifer, Anabelle and her grandma (the Gornstein girlies love their impromptu Monday playdates at the market!). Auntie Alyssa took the large, plush Elmo doll around in the cart and entertained both Clara and Emma. Dinner featured bread and cheese again because Clara and Emma refused everything else. Emma liked using the word "cheese." During storytime, Auntie Alyssa read the "Good Night Elmo" book and Emma enjoyed saying "teeth" and brushing her teeth with Elmo's toothbrush. Clara enjoyed wandering around with her toothbrush- which reminds Mommy of Grandpa Frome.
