Much needed break!

Hello all - glad to be back in "blogland". I took a much needed break last week and rested my eyes, brain and spent quality time with family and friends! I am back and we are back to school this week. Believe it or not it was almost 70 degrees here in NYC today! I took the kids to the Bronx Zoo and we had a great time! In fact, we did not even see another visitor there for an entire hour! The place was empty!

This was the sky this morning off my deck...colors were indescribable.

The Polar Express is playing at the 4-D Theater at the Zoo.

We saw it last year and again today!

This picture was not taken with a zoom lens. This is how close you can get

to these apes. Only a few inches of plexaglass between us.

Silverback - massive, in awe of him.

Right after the picture of the Silverback behind Zachary, Zachary moved and the ape

turned to the glass and started pounding on his chest. I would have thought

we were in a movie. SOOO COOL! A little on the scary side....

I pray you had a thankful holiday week and looking forward

to what is to come!

This is the tree in our bedroom. We have 4 trees up so far in the house and 1 more to go!

Little crafting for Spring

I seem to be in a crafting rutt lately so I needed to get my Spring crafting mojo going...I did something real simple that satisfied me for now... I turned this Goodwill frame $ 1.99 Into this... Using this paint My hot glue gun, some sandpaper, piece of scrape burlap, some moss from the Dollar Tree and a few of the little robin eggs I bought at Pottery Barn a few weeks ago. I think it's cute and will find a home for it!

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere! I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season. Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science! He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries. The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up! Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit.
