our 32 degree adventure

today we adventured our way to the brooklyn botanic gardens. i'm not sure we really saw anything since spring is far from springing.....


forecast was a high of 44 but we never really got there while we were outside in the weeds and bamboo trees...especially since we had spotty sun with mostly clouds.


of course, i don't think the boys really minded since little bit never once put his gloves on.



we did venture into the green houses today..... which i had never been in since we usually go when the weather is warm and sunny and who wants to go inside on those days. i wanted to go inside today!!! the boys could have cared less! we saw banana trees, mango trees, the desert oasis, and lots of folks doing water colors.

then we had a total melt down getting off the bus and walking the one block home. ah.... can anyone say naptime!!!

like Patti said -I'm so impressed at the effort you went thru to get them ready for outdoors!

I bet the Garden is just gorgeous in the Spring and Summer.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
