Marky's 4th Birthday!

What a beautiful weekend! Saturday was a another fun filled day at the park and runnning around outdoors. We love to see them so happy and full of energy - the park was VERY packed on Saturday and I guess its good practice for the boys to get use to bigger kids - We were very proud when the boys "held their own" with the big kids. Although Paul (Daddy) had to put one in check - it went very well. We also ate again in city Island - we can't help it when its nice out and we want seafood - where else to eat outdoors - that's kid friendly? we came home and bouced in our new castle where they LOVE to burn even more energy! This was a great gift from their Nanna.
Sunday we had our open house so we left early for the Hamptons to "Auntie Love's" for Marky's 4th Birthday (my baby Godchild)!! what a BLAST!! it was like a boy heaven all complete with dirt, trucks, 4-wheelers, soccer balls/basket ball, trains, movies and a big boy bed (that Anthony got pretty cozy in and tried to take a nap). Mark Sr & Danielle (Auntie Love) went above and beyond with a SUPER DUPER brunch for the party and I mean an all out brunch! Together they made everything (eggs benedict, omlette's upon request, varity of meats, homade waffles, pancakes, juices, fruits, champagne, bloody mary's) it was a great idea!! (pictures to the left). Of course the boys didn't want to leave! they fell asleep for the 1.5 hour drive home (major power nap) and didn't want to go to Sleepy until about 9:30 pm. Oh and Uncle stopped by - so forgettabot it!!

Another great weekend..

This weekend turned out to be so nice we got up and out early and went to the park to play we also took another look at a house we put a bid on. We hate this waiting game - its stressful - but hopefully worth it in the end. Also listed our house. Lots of work involved here.
The boys are getting bigger by the minute - Anthony is trying to say new words everyday and Paulie is talking with actions. Everynight when I tell them "come on its time for sleepy sleepy night night" - Anthony tells me: "uh-uh..Nooooo" and is very serious about it. Paulie loves looking in the mirror at himself. He's almost saying "damn I'm good looking" it's really funny. They are loving Apples and tell me appeees and point to the fruit bowl. Uncle Sean came over and showed the kids how to dance - now they are dancing saying uh-uh-uh- and pointing their fingers in the air. It looks like John Travolta - and its hysterical!

Spring was in the air!

This weekend really just dusted off the winter blues for Paul and I. We took the boys out early in the morning and stayed out ALL day. We started by going to the mall and stocking up on spring and summer sneakers (I love boys sneakers) and then we headed to a park in White Plains - it so nice to watch them in action at the Park. Anthony is a major magnet and all kids really take to him. He LOVES it and when someone stops following him he lets them know "uh-uh" and takes their hand to continue to play. Paulie likes to feel out the park on his own and then eventually finds a friend to hang out with. We had some fruit and snacked in the park
After that we went to City Island for some late lunch/dinner and the boys loved watching the birds and planes and boats go by and are starting to say arrs, oats & point to planes. We then went to another Bronx Park to play. This time Anthony saw some girls sitting under the slide and decided to turn on his charm and walked right over to them and waved hi and smiled big started taking a little babynese (baby/chinese combined). And all the girls were like aawwweeee - "you can come and play with us. Daddy gave Anthony his thumb up and badda bing! Anthony had a flock of girls following him (I think daddy's jealous).
paulie has a ball running all over the park - he's actually getting so quick I'm a little nervous I can't catch him anymore. But the good thing about him is that he won't go too far away from Mommy and Daddy - ever - well for now.
I'm starting to realize that every new moment doesn't last long and so I'm trying to suck up every last part of it - knowing something new is coming along and this will soon be memory. It feels like yesterday they had to hold my hand to walk.
