we are staying in New York this weekend. It feels like a rare, special thing to be home on Friday night with no particular plans for tomorrow beyond brunch and maybe the playground.
During the winter we are almost always bound for the house in Vermont and every Friday night involves simultaneously packing the laundry, cooking dinner for and feeding the kids, packing groceries, toys, books, movies, etc. etc. forever and ever.
But a night like tonight I get to spend cooking an experimental dinner, watching some crap television, catching up on the FB addiction and generally relaxing. While the twins are sleeping, of course.
We have a lot going on here. Birthdays. Potty training - oh, god the potty training... work and whatnot.
I went to my first ballet class in 25 years today. I spent the entire time trying to not fall over because I was laughing so hard.
Anyways. There's a lot going on. There is also nothing going on. The boys are healthy, cheerful, surprising and delightful. When they aren't being challenging, contrary, pissy and whingey. Ahem.
Next weekend we'll be back to Vermont for our last week of skiing and snowboarding. I can't wait until next Winter, when I am teaching. But I won't wish my time away.
Love you, miss you.

Mother of a 3-year-old. Hopefully the delightful moments are more frequent than the pissy ones. Otherwise I'm not sure I'll survive three. I don't know how you manage two of them!
Loved the update, and hearing a little slice of life as it is now. Saturday night I made everyone huddle around my computer and watch the twins at their birthday party. They are famous everywhere! Love and miss you, too.
