Another quick update from the East Coast

I was all set to post pictures when my Photoshop editor quit working. So… no (good) pictures until I can edit them. Since I last updated we went to the Maritime Aquarium, FAO Schwartz so we could let the kids dance on the famous piano, the American Girl store (where Natalie found a doll that looked just like her for the small price of $120), and Shake Shack.
Michelle, Michael and Varick came over for dinner. Amy made shredded BBQ chicken, a green salad and I made a fruit salad. Yum, yum!
Today it rained cats and dogs so Mikaya's beach party was cancelled. They had their party in the classroom instead. We went to the party, then to Michael's and Target to get some fun rainy day crafts. I taught Amy and her friend Ginger how to make floral hairbows. (I laughed to myself because I was the only one who got the Gilligan's Island reference with a Ginger and a Maryann.) Our flowers turned out really cute, and Natalie can hardly wait to wear them. I might even wear some myself. Oh, I also finished crocheting the blanket for Varick. Yay! I just need to deliver it to them.

These are the hair flowers I made today. A very colorful assortment, isn't it?I wanted to show what at least one of these looked like in Natalie's hair. I really miss my Photoshop!) I know it's a bit overexposed, but here's the purple flower.

Tomorrow Natalie and I are going into the city with Michael. We're going on a boat ride in Greenwich, then going to drop Varick off. From there we'll go to the city, hit Chinatown, SoHo and a few other places. I think we'll meet Michelle for lunch somewhere. We're not sure what we're doing for Saturday or Sunday yet. I'm sure we'll come up with something fun. Natalie and I head home on Sunday night. Natalie is going to be so bummed when we have to leave the girls. I think she'll go through withdrawals. Those will NOT be fun.
