we had one of those weekends that was just solid awesome.  the forecast suggested rain through and through but it only sprinkled a few times on friday. we stopped by joe’s twice for a slice and i won’t even tell you how many bakeries we hit up.  we lived outside in the cooler weather trading in one playground for the next. the littles stayed up past their bedtimes….although who am i kidding, we have never been good at having strict bedtimes :\ playing games and singing songs around the piano with our papa.  the best part, we spent the weekend with family. my sister flew to the city for a few days and another sister came up for the day on saturday. eleanor and samson were pretty happy to have some aunties in town but i think i was the happiest of everyone. thanks so much for coming to town, aunties! let’s book some tickets for winter break, yeah?

  1. What a sweet picture of the kids with their auntie! Perfect family weekend, those are always the best, just happy to see each other, catch up and have a fun time. The piano and songs is my favorite part though, how nice!

  2. So cute! That’s it – you have totally inspired me to really cut out the TV – there is so much more to do when you turn of the television! Glad to hear you all are enjoying the yellow piano!

  4. Where did you get Eleanor and Samson’s raincoats? I am looking to purchase a good one for our little guy. Thanks!

  5. This picture just makes me happy.

    Nothing like a great weekend to put some pep in your step! I just had to comment about the ridiculously adorable face Samson made after testing the juice. It gave me a belly laugh. =)

  7. I love it! i’m happy to say that I shared the same awesome new York city weather WITH YOU this weekend! we explored park slope on sunday, made homemade dumplings (SO good!) and snuggled on the sofa watching the last two eposides of girls. gosh that show is SO weird, and so bad in so many ways, but there’s some sort of connection I feel to those girls, even though I’M not a crazy one ;)

    Sister time is always the best. I am from a large family like you (I am the oldest of five girls and a boy), and I always feel so much more balanced after family time. Glad you have a good weekend!

    Family really makes it all worthwhile. By the way, your new cover photo is adorable! It’s really Beatles-esqe, which I love. Very Rockstar, and suits you all well. Thanks for sharing.
