Purim Carnival 2010

Happy Purim!

Matthew chats it up..

1 of the games that Sofia played.. I am surprised that she stuck her hand in a box to dig for a prize.. she won't even stick her hand in her sock drawer to get a pair of socks!

Sofia's new friend

Sofia and her new friend ROSALINDA.. last night sofia came downstairs crying, lip quivering "i think i did something very bad".. "i talked bad about rosalinda and i think she heard me and i hurt her feelings".. "i don't know that this is the right pet for me.. she has long nails and moves very fast"..

Pictures, pictures and more pictures.. in no specific order

Jumperoo, jumperoo, jump jump, jumperoo..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think I like this thing?!&%

3 hours to plow this HORRIFIC driveway only to get to the end and see that the road was never plowed! Andy had to abandon his jeep down the mountain on the way back up..

Help.. I'm being swallowed by a large marshmallow

Self portrait..

Matthew got some FRESH air today.. hisage, ear infection AND the 5 foot snowdrifts kept me from throwing him in the snow.. ha.

I made a path for Sofia to follow.. I almost lost 1 boot in the trek.. Sofia will sleep well tonight!!

Manmade ski slope

Spooky

Nice lashes..

What an actress

Sofia & Hannah wait in the lobby, ready to see The Little Mermaid

The Perrone's sent Sofia this costume (they had no idea we were going to see the show the next day!!!!!!).. Sofia's babysitter Lily put these stockings on her head.. Sofia thought it made her look exactly like Ariel..

Sofia & Matthew help Coach Tyler after a good soccer practice

Yummy.. now that's a snowcone!

Pretty and cold..

Matthew.. again

Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A day on the Upper East..

Sofia loved Hannah's diner.. she didn't love the food, but she loved the diner!

Sofia loves these spinning doors.. makes her feel like she's in a movie..

Sofia & Hannah spent more time picking out their craft than actually painting it

The Craft Studio on the Upper East Side.. why didn't I think of this?? Hire lazy, nasty people to work at a store where they sell 20cent items for $15 and put it all in a pretty pink bag! Brilliant.

Taking a break..

Just chillin'

Sofia loved the pool.. we spent the evening and morning becoming prunes..

Sofia said that Matthew smelled like formula and wouldn't go anywhere near him.. poor guy!

I need to find it, but Sofia is Elana's twin in this picture!!!!!!!!!!!! we stayed on the concierge floor.. too bad it was closed.. we miss the luigi days! could have used an apple juice delivery at 1am..

I think I had a bathingsuit like this in 1988?!

Sofia said that she had the best weekend and asked me twice if she was dreaming?! keep in mind that she is a drama queen.. i reminded her that she's stayed in about 30 hotels before and she told me that none of that mattered "this was the best".. moral of the story is you can take a kid to Disney World or you can take her to Tarrytown.. the best trip will always be the one that they are currently on!

Jillian takes the Gold

Before heading out to Tarrytown we stopped by Ice Time to see Jillian skate.. what a great job, Jillian!! and Sofia LOVED her orange outfit and wants the same one when she grows up (in like 6 months)..

Jillian took the gold in both events.. olympics here you come..!

Blizzard, day 2

Snow Sprinkler

Sofia & Julia Child

By 4pm she was 1/2 her size and her nose was on the ground.. darn global warming..!

Stop right there!

Stinker..

Wheeeee!

Phony Bologna

'I know that you are sweating, but no, you can not have an ice pop outside today'

Blizzard 2010- in random order

Woops!

Holy Cheeks

Feeling better.. that snow was cold & that wind was windy

Just as they sat down a gust of wind came and ... you get the rest..

WHOAAA!!

Yeah.. he's sitting up..

Matthew looks like he's ready for nursery school

Either she is playing with cement or there is a SARS outbreak..

Doll time.. Sofia being the doll

We made yummy homemade lentil soup.. Sofia peeled the carrots.. felt so grownup.. I am just glad that she still has all of her fingers..
