Early November, trying to get some time in on the bike before we have to hang it up for the winter. Noah’s not excited.

Kate took us to the Rubin Museum to learn about sand mandalas. Noah brought his new dinosaur with us.

Truth be told, I mainly went on this little outing to test out my new camera, and here is where the overtaxed and undercharged battery on it died. Luckily for you, I still had my phone so I’ll let you know that after sketching for a bit the kids went back to the classroom and made their own sand mandala.

Growing up in NH I never thought I would be trying to wrangle my kid and his classmates in Times Square. Good times.

A few days before the Fall Festival we found out that Sara, who went to day care with Noah when he was 2-3, was going to be going to PS 133 now! Here are some flashback photos of Sara with Savannah, and then another 8 months later pushing Noah at Underhill Playground.

Here she is grown up with colorful nails, making some spin art!
