Fun in the Key of Wilde

Since we're such big groupies of Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke, we dragged daddy all the way downtown to see them play in Battery Park.

In return, we showed him our moves.

A Little Off the Top

Today I got my first haircut. Actually, I got all of them cut.


Do you feel lighter already?

How Do You Like Them Apples?

Three girls we like invited us to join them in Connecticut to pick some apples. Even though the trees were dwarf, middle sister Gabriella wanted to be extra high.


Big sister Rafaella was even higher (and not as vision-impairing for her daddy).


Meanwhile, I was focused on what was behind me...


...and I've got it in the bag. While it was fun to eat them fresh off the trees, the apples got even more delicious the following week...


...when mommy made this. YUM!!


So many girls, so few apples.

My How Time (Fire)flies!

Today I started in the Fireflies class, just like Yaya did two years ago. (And yes, mommy did make sure you wore the same dress as I did for the first day of school back in 2009. One day you will resent her, but for now, we all thought it was cute!)

Egg-citing Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun weekend in Mahopac - all ups and no downs.


It started off well, since we had gummi fried eggs for breakfast. Then we were counting on chocolate sandwiches for lunch, and lollipop steaks for dinner. Visiting Mema sure is fun!


The weather cooperated so we didn't have to be cooped up. We went swinging on the hammock...



...and swam in the lake (since I don't have feathers, Mema supplied a cozy towel).


Which came first, the chicken dance or the egg?

U.S. Open and Shut

Our family had a big BALL at the US Open. (Thank goodness, because the closing of the RFK bridge meant it took us two hours to get to Queens.)


Although the prediction was for rain, this was the only water we saw falling the whole day.


Still, we spent some time indoors at the kids clubhouse, where we competed in the air balloon challenge.


Disorder in the court...


My verdict: this is a big racquet.


No, sis, THIS is a BIG racquet.


Ice cream, set, match.
