Spring is taking it's sweet old time in NY to really get going, leading us to continue to look for indoor activities believe it or not. We're all a little sick of it and really ready to shed our winter coats (especially if you have no waist to speak of and there isn't a chance in hell you will get anything closed around you to shield you from the wind).Ahem, yes we're ready for warmer weather.
So we headed to the NY Botanical Garden for their annual Orchid Show. The theme was 'orchids on broadway' and the entire exhibit weaves you through a massive interconnected greenhouse/conservatory passing by several temperate zones. We really enjoyed it. The rest of the garden was still very dormant, barely a touch of green on some trees.
To fully embrace the Easter spirit (well.. the mainstream commercial one involving chocolate eggs and bunnies), we hosted an easter egg decorating play date for several neighbors. Never really know what a group of 2 and 3 year olds will do when presented with paints, markers, colored eggs, lots of sugar and free reign... but the kids did very well. Sort of a prelude to the Easter festivities we are looking forward to in Wellesley next weekend when we go to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hen.
And finally ... I bid farewell to the second trimester and bonjour to the third this coming week. Certainly feeling a little more tired this time around, but I blame most of that on Maya. Overall feeling really good, and making lots of time for yoga.
