Let it snow...

and snow, and snow! We're expecting a foot of snow tonight. We can't wait to use our new sleds in Central Park. I think there are some pretty big hills near 72nd st.

So I was shopping at Bloomies and got lured in by this huge product display. I'm always up for learning about new "miracle" products. So - I listened to their shpeel (I'm sure they knew they had a live one) and what do you think happened? I bought it! It's a new skincare line from Rodan & Fields - the same doctors that created ProActiv. The deal closer was the UV picture they took of my face..... oh my goodness. All those years of lifeguarding (without sunscreen nonetheless... and actually - I think I even put Crisco on my face at some point) didn't do me any favors. The picture was SCARY. $135 sounded like a deal to me!

We're planning Griffin's 4th Birthday Party. It's next weekend and we're expecting 16 kids and at least 20 adults. Griffin is such a social boy... he has made so many new friends. He likes to name them one by one to make sure I remembered to send each one an invitation. We knew Griffin would want to wear his Buzz Lightyear outfit to the party ( his daily uniform) so we thought we'd build on that. We decided to invite the kids to come to the party dressed as their favorite superhero. The kids will come to our apartment (actually to the lobby of our apartment building) and we'll have a "Superhero Parade" to a pizza place a few blocks away. Now - I'm sure a few things are popping into your head. Like... what if it's freezing cold? Trust me - it's just the parents who will be freezing. When Griffin is in his "uniform" his blood is PUMPIN'. The parade will be complete with noise makers, balloons, a banner, and of course, 16 kids. Haven't really warned the doormen about this little shindig yet - guess I better do that. I'll probably wait until the very last minute. After the parade we'll eat pizza and cake (Buzz cake, of course) and play superhero games! I've decided to play along and be "Wonder Woman" for the occasion. Chris will be "Flash". Mimi is coming from Tulsa to help us celebrate. She's planning to surprise Griffin with her superhero costume. I'm guessing "Super Mimi"!

I'll be back with updates on 1) the snow; 2) my new and improved skin; 3) and the super dooper superhero birthday party!
