Syracuse - Rosamond Gifford Zoo

This zoo was awesome! Even though the season limited the variety of animals that were out, there were plenty to fill up our day. And they were so close!

...and, thanks to our Bronx Zoo membership, it cost $5 for us to get in... sweet!!

Syracuse - Museum of Science & Technology

Great way to spend the day!! They have a 3-story play area with air cannons, slides and tunnels, a K'nex station, a hands-on fossil dig... although lots of things were geared toward older kids, there were plenty of things for the little guys. Newtie slept through the IMAX, Buzzy was enthralled. Free admission thanks to our local MOST membership!

Syracuse - Carousel Mall

We spent some time at the Carousel Mall, for a quick, no-frills dinner and mostly for um, well, the carousel.

...and where was Newtie? Snoozin'...

Syracuse - Beaver Lake Nature Center

We went on a little snow hike through the sugarbush at Beaver Lake Nature Center. They had 5-6 stations set up along the trail that represented different stages and aspects of making maple syrup. Beeeeuuuutiiiiful day!! The 'lake effect' snow here is entirely different... light, fluffy, picturesque stuff. Two feet of this stuff and I'd be out with a broom. Not at all like the slushy muck we get a home that stalls out my snowblower...

Brothers

Here comes the bride...

Buzzy: "You so pretty, mommy."

Me: "Oh thank you, sweetie!"

Buzzy: "I'm gonna give you a ring an' we're gonna get married. And you'll have flowers on a stick. And you'll have curtains on your head!"

Happy Pancake Day

In honor of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday, IHOP was giving away stacks of pancakes for free today. And collecting donations in lieu of payment for charity. Nice.

The boys and I stuffed ourselves silly with buttery, strawberry-syrupy goodness...

Happy Birthday Mr.Biscuit!!

Valley Stream Pond

Silence is NOT golden...

B enters room after extended silence in living room.

B:"Stop!! Stop saying that!"

Me, slightly alarmed about possible auditory hallucinations: "Stop saying what?"

B:"Um... Stop saying that to me. That I have to stop doing things."

Time to panic about what he was doing that he knows was naughty...

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Almost Valentine's Day

Mr. Biscuit took the boys to the mall to have a Valentine picture taken, to visit the beloved Automatic Popcorn Machine and maybe to a movie... who knew cleaning and decaf could be so blissful? A bunch of other moms came over w/o kids and we made huge boxes of Valentine's chocolates and sweets for our sweets.

Well, I hope my butt fits in the carseat...

"...I'm gonna go on the potty... then I'm gonna be a grown up... and I'll drive you in the car... and you'll be the little child..."
