Last week, Katie's GS Troop ran a fundraiser and had a popcorn booth.
While Pete was in England on tour with The Jet Age, we went to NYC. See more about Pete's tour here.
The Met, looking like Egyptians.
The Prospect Park Zoo. Let me plug Brooklyn here. It's great! There's tons to do, the crowds are smaller than in NYC and it's easier to park. Go!
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
We also hit NYC--the Toys R Us in Times Square--never go during Christmas season again. Could not move without a ton of people all around us. The American Girl Place-note to self, no street parking during the week. Jekyll and Hydes. Economy Candy. And also spent some time with my cousin who also let us stay at her place just thru the tunnel in NJ.
Katie and Zack went to see Pete's parents in Boston. Pete and I got away for the weekend to Shenandoah NP. Beautiful!
The kids and I went to a Pow Wow. We went with a homeschool group during the week, not realizing that the main event happens over the weekend. We enjoyed the colorful outfits and the dancing, but there was not much else going on. We did not enjoy the storyteller all that much, but we did enjoy the fried oreos we ate while we listened to her!
We got our dog, Toby!!!!!!!! Here he is the day we took him home. He has a lot more fat and fur on him now.
Zack got sized up for his invisilign braces which he will start wearing in January.
We went to the Science and Engineering Festival on the National Mall. It was huge and fantastic. I wish we'd had more time to spend at it, but am hoping this will be an annual event.
Here the kids are with Mr. Neuron.
Katie looked far too grown up in this "pageant" dress, for a Girl Scout mystery event for Halloween.
Zack getting into the Halloween Spirit.
It snowed a bit. I think you can see that the dog is looking better since living with us.
I'll have the year-end entry in soon. Hope you had a great 2010.
