Rainy Sunday

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took Clara and Emma to a trial glass at Gymcats. It was a mixed age class for 3 year olds + and they went right in (no Mommy or Daddy allowed), sat down and started warming up. They were split into groups and did rings, jumping, balance beam, and more. They loved it. Afterwards, it was off to the Hastings Farmers Market for some shopping and of course, pickles, juice and music.

Clara chose her bike and Emma chose her scooter to pack in the car and bring to the Ardsley Middle School- aka a parking lot with mostly flat ground. After a quick stop at Carvel for ice cream, Clara did a great job of riding the bike by herself. Emma, with encouragement, tried both and did a nice job too!

Emma's hair has been growing and was in her eyes again. Since she doesn't really need a haircut and Mommy ideally would like to wait a bit longer, Mommy cut Emma's hair for the second time this summer- just a little trim to get the hair out of her eyes. Props to Mommy- it looks pretty good!

It was a very rainy and wet day. Last night wasn't a good nite and Mommy slept on the floor with Emma all night, while Clara slept with Daddy in bed. Emma woke up screaming and only wanted to be on the floor. Oy. Clara

Clara and Emma were excited to have an outing in the rain, and couldn't wait to get their boots on! They enjoyed lunch at the Fountain Diner in Hartsdale- the waiter looked perplexed when they started ordering their own food. Mommy and Daddy just shook their heads yes. Their orders are predictable- grilled cheese, fries and chocolate milk (although today Emma ordered juice).

After their nap, Mommy broke out the "rainy day activities." The ladies enjoyed painting suncatchers and baking muffins. They loved watching Mary Poppins and singing along to their favorite "Supercalifragilisticexpealicdocious" song.

What would a rainy day without pizza for dinner? Gobbled up by the ladies and followed by strawberry ice cream pops aka yogurt squeeze tubes frozen!
