Time Warp

Something I am so incredibly good at when it comes to blogging. News around here:

Gannon is back in preschool 3x week. I'm carpooling this year and it is glorious to have those days of silence. Gannon is learning how to write his letters and coming home with the worksheets to prove it. At this rate, the playroom walls are going to fill up quickly.

Gannon's bedroom is officially a "Big Boy" room. Superheroes are what's in around here, and his bedroom fits the bill. I sure do miss those stripes and circles; more so, the little baby that used to reside there. He's growing up so fast. Sigh.

Speaking of growing up, Gannon turned 4 on 8/26. What a great day! He woke up and couldn't have been more excited. I sent mini cupcakes to school with him and they were a hit at snack time. Cupcakes became the trend for the next few days. We had planned for his party to follow on Saturday, but Hurricane Irene felt we should plan for Sunday. Luckily for us, everyone was able to reschedule and the Spiderman party was a blast! Bounce house/water slide combo, water balloon fights, good food and friends!

Not at all excited.

Gannon's infamous Dino Birthday Hat. It's from his first birthday. He requests it every year. He's wearing it every birthday from here on out, as long as I'm providing the cake.

Birthday Smooch from Nani. Oh, the love.

Special Spidey chair made with love by Gannon's amazing Nani.

This rocket playhouse was sent from the Higerd gals in CA, and he just loves it! Wish you were here to play!!!

My reward for bringing this little joy into the world? A trip to NYC to see the US Open with my Titi Brenda and my cousin, Kristeena. What. A. Blast! We stayed in the Affina hotel, ate at the most amazing restaurants; Buddakan, Balthazar, the Stanton Social, the Juliet Supperclub; saw amazing shows, "Hair" and "Traces". We got up super early to see Mary J. Blige perform on GMA in Central Park. Shopping in SOHO; had my first experience on Canal Street. Hilarious. So much fun. Oh, and awesome tennis! It was such a great time and I am so thankful for my Mom taking such great care of my guys while I was off playing in the big city!
