Horsin' Around the NMAI: Annual Children's Festival
Today was the annual Children's Festival at the National Museum of the American Indian. Mikro had great fun trying the hoop and pole game, making horse related crafts, checking out the touch tables, and watching and participating in Native American social dances.
Field Trip Fun
We've been on a bunch of field trips lately with our homeschool groups.
Tenement Museum:
Three! at Swiss Cottage Marionette Theater in Central Park:
Jigsaw Jones at the Tribecca Performing Arts Center (no photos allowed), followed by Rockefeller Park with friends, a craft at the park, and then Poet's House for some poems, and finally, the big silver slide at Tear Drop Park.

Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mothers Day to all my mama friends out in cyberspace & IRL too!
My day started with a call from the junker, coming to pick up my ancient Mercedes. Part of me is sad that we will never get a chance to fix her up, but most of me knows she was a money pit of epic proportions and would have taken waaaaay too much time to deal with. So I told my Blue Beast (my PT Cruiser) that her cousin Greenie had left us...
Afterwards, Kev patched the driveway, then took me out for a holiday lunch. We came home and sat on the porch swing watching birds while Mikro enjoyed himself with the neighbor kids.

Campfires, Mutineers and Jam
We had a fun weekend.
On Saturday, we visited friends who were camping at the local campgrounds and did fun campy stuff like roast marshmallows. The boys all hung out together telling stories and riddles around the fire, and generally ran wild on the playground. We got home after 1 am, with a blissful, but filthy, Mikro in tow. He didn't want to leave. (I was ready to, because the bugs started biting, and I am horrifically allergic to whatever bit me...) I was having so much fun, I forgot to take a single photo!
Sunday, we visited the replica ship Bounty (as in Mutiny on the..) which also appeared as the Black Pearl in Pirates of the Carribean: Deadman's Chest.
Afterwards, Mikro participated in a jam making program at Beczak Environmental Education Center, where he also made me a mother's day card, completely on his own!
And we played in the park behind Beczak.
