plumpkins

For YW's this week we got the girls excited for fall with some plumpkin making and some pumpkin cookies. My mom was so sweet and sent us some fall fabric so that we could teach the girls the basics of threading a needle and then put it to good use andake some plumpkins. (a.k.a. plump little pumpkins) Unfortunately we had a few issues with the floss and needles so the whole point of teaching the girls the basics of threading didn't really work but in the end the plumpkins were a success. Although I think most of the girls enjoyed saying the word plumpkin more than the plumpkin itself.



After YW's Kelli and I met up with Jason and Bryan to try out one of their favorite burger joints. (You see in NY everyone has their favorite hot spots and they have to take everyone there and convince them that theirs is better) We did enjoy Soho Park (Bryan's favorite) but I have to say that the Shake shack still makes a better burger ... sorry Bryan.

Next we had to make our usual stop with the Granum's at Pinkberry but as we were walking down the street we noticed some type of Italian festival going on, so we decided to take a look. It was fun to see Mulberry street all lite up but it started to get a little crowded and all the greasy smells were making us a little sick. But as we started to make our way out of the crowd some kid, with a very dirty mouth, ran into Bryan and as New Yorkers do, started saying not very nice things to Bryan. Then Jason thought he needed to step in and I honestly thought the kid was going to punch him but Kelli and I quickly intervened and convinced our guys that they weren't worth it. We finally made it to Pinkberry and it was a great end to a very eventful evening.

Jason recently received an offer for a summer internship from a NY firm that he is very excited about, so to celebrate we decided to have dinner and see a show. So Saturday morning I went down to the Southstreet Seaport and got tickets to Spamalot. For those of you who enjoy Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... you would love this show, but Jason and thought it was just okay. It had it's moments but in the end it was getting a little old. Despite the show our dinner was wonderful. We went to a little Argentine place called "Chimichurri Grill" where we enjoyed some empanadas and a wonderful steak with with my favorite ... chimichurri.
