This weekend, to celebrate Ali's upcoming milestone birthday, her mom and sister took her up to New York for some shows and dining and miscellaneous good times. Luckily, Poppy stayed behind to help me keep track of the kids. Here we are this morning, playing Ready Set Go. As usual, Jake is in the lead, Sadie is a close second, and Poppy's bringing up the rear. We're getting quite a bit of rain today from tropical storm Hanna, so we decided to head downtown to the Natural History museum for some indoor fun. We had a great time exploring mammals and dinosaurs and insects and PBJ sandwiches. I think I've got the basic parenting skills down pretty well, at least when it comes to kids waist-high or shorter, but I still have no idea what to do with Sadie's hair. That's exclusively Ali's territory, and when she's not around, this is what Sadie looks like:
There's a hair tie in there somewhere, but I'm not sure what it's doing. Sadie didn't seem to mind. Before we went to the museum, I put a baseball cap on her and she looked like mini college Ali.

It's called the "tousled" look and women pay big bucks to get it - remember the short Meg Ryan "do?" Good job, Dad!!
