1. Spotlighted an Artist: I introduced the kids to Chuck Close. I asked them to make the same faces as the people in the portraits. Of course Owen wanted nothing to do with my art lesson.
2. Took a Break: Ran up to the Roof Garden, bought lemonade and chugged it. Owen won. Ella was disappointed there were no flowers in the roof garden. The sculptures let her down.
3. Took another Brake: Got out of the museum, crossed the street to William Greenberg Desserts for the best black and white cookies this city makes. The boys slept threw it.
4. Lived our Life: Headed back towards the Met and walked north to Ancient Playground. Forgot to apply sunscreen.
5. Played: Played until their shoulders turned pink.
6. Finished: Pushed the boys home in the stroller. Ella used her scooter.
The reason for yesterday's trip to the Met was to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit but the line was 2.5 hours long . . . not worth it with the kids. But it's worth it to me! I already have a babysitter lined up so I can see the exhibit before it closes on Friday. I can't wait!
*You know the Met's entrance fee is a suggested donation, right? Pay whatever you want and the employees never flinch.
When I took my class to the met they all took a picture of that Chuck Close print and said it looks JUST like me. I guess it kind of does...
ReplyDeleteI love her little jumper and whispy pulled back hair. cute cute cute.
ReplyDeleteI looove Chuck Close! Also, it's one of my greatest joys to reach into my purse and hand the employees all my spare change :D
ReplyDeleteYou take great photos and your kids are absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'd sure love to see the McQueen exhibit. It's probably not going to happen (forget the probably) but I sure hope that you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to come with you! I've been twice and would happily see it again if you want company. It's definitely worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteI love this! And I want your daughter's hair. And I love those black and whites - my sister shipped them to me in San Francisco they are so freaking good.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower of your blog.. My daughter moved from here (MN ) to NYC about 3 years ago.. I try to find blogs based in the city so I can stay close to her and her way of thinking! Looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteYour children are so gorgeous :) And the mcqueen exhibition sounds like a dream. Enjoy it!
