On Saturday the 26th we visited the Staten Island Children’s Museum in, you guessed it, Staten Island. We don’t usually ever venture out to Staten Island. Lisa has this thing about it being a dump. Yes, a dump does exist in Staten Island but the entire burro isn’t one huge dump. We decided to check it out anyway. Lisa had heard a lot of good things about it.

Here’s the video..

The video is about 4 and a half minutes long. It’s way too long but it’s very cute. And yes there is a typo…

We really had a nice time. As you can see, Sienna was all over the place. I’m sure we’ll be going back..

Grrrr

They say be careful for what you wish for, you might get it. Well, they were right. Almost all summer i’ve been twiddling my thumbs at work. I’ve been creating projects to work on just to do something. Now, i’m so swamped that i had to go into work on the weekend!! i haven’t done that in years!! This project is just a mess. It’s full of people over thinking and over analyzing each element to the point of slowing the process down to a crawl.  I have been able to slowly pull it together but it wasn’t easy and certainly not fun at all. I know that work isn’t usually fun but what i do for a living is fun most of the time.

Anyway,
I should be posting pictures from the second toddler BBQ but i haven’t had time to go through the pics. I decided to post some video of Sienna. I recently got a new toy. It’s a flip video camera witch is really really easy to use and it’s High Def footage as well!! More videos to come…

Sienna loves to run. When we go outside to play, she spends most of the time running back and forth. Sometimes i run with her but i don’t have her energy level. “again daddy” is all i hear..

I am starting to try other things on the grill. Notice not a burger in sight.. Here we have chicken thighs and corn on the cob and some hot dogs. I can’t get away from the hot dogs, Sienna loves them and so do i..

I’m a little behind on my posting. Work has been hectic lately so i haven’t had time to post much.

Here is a sequence of pictures from last Saturday when we went out for patties. I’m holding Siennas froggy umbrella. it’s cute but she still has a hard time keeping it up.

The next day we had Uncle Peter over for BBQ.. Below is a clip of Sienna filling up the kiddie pool. I love this clip, it shows the gradual escalation of naughtyness.

It was a bit hot so ijumped into the pool with Sienna. Before long, she was dousing me with water.

Sienna was so happy that uncle peter was coming over. Here, she crawled onto his lap and fell asleep. It’s a really cute picture.

Here’s lunch. Burgers mixed with bits of bacon and stuffed with blue cheese. They came out ok. I still haven’t mastered the stuffed burger. I think i need to try other burger combinations too.
