I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! We were back to summer here in Brooklyn, hot, humid days and threatening thunderstorms that never really happened.
Saturday we playground hopped all the way to the Farmer’s Market at Grand Army Plaza.
I also did some running and had a particularly good long run early Saturday morning. My running has been a somewhat lackluster lately, so this was a run I was hoping for. I went by feel and actually didn’t check my Garmin once. Just over 9 miles at a really steady pace, feeling good the whole time.
On Sunday we headed to the zoo in Prospect Park and it was HOT. We refilled water bottles en route kind of hot. But once we were there, we had a lot of fun. Roman is big enough now that he gets really excited about seeing the animals and they have fun stuff for the kids to do, like dress up like animals. Okay, maybe mamas too.
Monday I had a client and then worked out while Fran and Roman had a boy’s morning, then we had some friends over last night for a little stoop dinner party. 🙂 Brooklyn version of Labor Day BBQ is pizza and beer on the stoop!
We are continuing our Check-Out-the-2014-Oscar-Nominees-6-Months-Later quest and watched ‘Her’ over the weekend, too. It was weird, but I loved it.
What did you do this weekend? BBQ? Racing?
Any movie recommendations for me?
Your weekends are always so beautiful. 🙂

You’re so sweet!! 🙂
Glad you had a great run this weekend, I had been feeling the same, and I also had a good one last friday. You should read my update…I think you would “get it”, sometimes when we take the pressure off expecting to feel good, it happens! Looks like a wonderful family weekend 🙂

I need to catch up on my blog reading, but I’m looking forward to reading your update, for sure!! I definitely went out not expecting to feel great, maybe you’re right and the pressure is the devil!
Sounds like a fun weekend. I had a great weekend as well. My sister and I went to Va Beach to run the RnR half marathon. It was hot but still alot of fun.

Love that you had a great 9 miler!! You look so cute as an animal 🙂 There are so many movies that have passed me by its shameful. I need to check out HER for sure 🙂

I think it really bothered Fran that my ears and nose didn’t match – he’s a little OCD like that!! ha ha ha. Roman thought it was awesome.
We were at the zoo this weekend too! It’s football season and my hubby has season tickets to his favorite college football team so Saturday’s are just another day with the kiddos. (Not complaining I just really like my “me” time too). I can’t wait for my mums to come up – yay for fall! PS you look good dressed up 🙂

It’s like you don’t realize how much you need the ‘me-time’ until it’s taken away, right?? You’ll have to squeeze it in to Sunday somewhere, lady!!
Hooray for a good run – always a good feeling!!
We had a family reunion on Saturday with Chris’ family (at our venue) and Sunday evening a party with some neighbors.
Oh, fun! I’m glad you guys are getting a chance to use your lovely space as well!
I love those sunflowers! I saw some this past weekend en route to a bbq and was so excited! I soaked up some beach time this weekend, the last Cape Cod weekend of the summer for me!

Sunflowers are one of my faves. So sad for the last beach days, but I do love Fall, too.
So sad I won’t be seeing you in the city today, and kinda scared that I’m going to melt!! This weather is the worst. Where is the Fall?? I love the stoop party! And really? You loved “Her?” Hmmmm. I haven’t seen it but… 🙂

Give it a chance! I didn’t think I’d like it because it’s such a strange premise, but Joaquin Phoenix is just brilliant. You totally believe every moment. I am sad to miss you today too!! Hope you and Christine get a chance to catch up, though. We are masters of the stoop party. 🙂
I love zoos. Especially the “big cats” like lions and tigers.
We had such a good weekend – my husband made me an epic birthday dinner, we went to his annual work softball game, and put some finishing touches on the nursery!

Love a good birthday weekend! It’s always fun when you can stretch it out a little. Nursery decorating is SO fun. I loved every moment of making Roman’s little room. Even if I developed a bit of an Etsy obsession…
I would totally enjoy dressing up like an animal too!
What a big and beautiful weekend.
I still haven’t seen any movies from the Oscars. And of course, we’re already closing in on another year!

The fact that we have now seen two of this year’s nominations is like some sort of record, really. 😉
