Scenes from The Weekend



Our visit to the modern was fantastic…I’m not used to going to the museum sans the girlies, and as much as I love taking them to see art, it was nice to be able to actually take things in without running after kiddos or worrying that that Millie might lick a painting (Audrey’s learned respect for the art…Millie, well…not so much.)

The Warhol exhibit was better than I expected, but the Modern also has a fantastic permanent collection, and I was especially taken with Nicholas Nixon’s memorizing The Brown Sisters (below), a series of photographs taken yearly for the past 30+ years of his wife and her sisters. It inspired us to do something similar with our girls…it was a magical depiction of the progression of time.



While Saturday was a bit of a grown-up day, Sunday was all about the girlies. I clearly jinxed things with all my talk of lovely weather, and we had gloomy, grey rain all day… But it was a perfect excuse to hunker down with some movies and make homemade patty melts. So all-in-all good stuff. Hope your weekend was splendid.
