The past few days have been super hectic.

Run up to Harlem to pick up a friend for Eva's sleepover, run down to the boat to pick up Ana and her friend, run back up to Union Square to watch Kubo and the Two Strings - and the only thing I knew about that movie going in was it was made by the guys who made The Boxtrolls, which was quite enough for me to happily plunk down $74 for the privilege of watching it on the big screen with four kids. (Money well spent, btw.)

Go home, sleep, wake up early and run an errand, go to store, get food, wake all girls and head to diner for breakfast. (They ordered more food than a family of ten could eat, but somehow they practically licked the plates clean.) Pick up another friend, go to Coney Island. Stay at Coney Island four full hours, fielding increasingly "I'm so casual" texts about when various children would be returned. Return children to respective parents - this required a trip up to 34th before all Staten Islanders could go home. Fall into bed.

Wake up. Go to post-chemo shot with Nanen. Eat out. Take long route home. Be friendly with Jenn.

And now I'm supposed to go to the Richmond County Fair, and every year I'm less excited about this than everybody else is. Bah.

I'm very impressed by your two days with four girls - it sounds full-on! :)

To be fair, Coney Island is mostly me sitting on a bench reading while the kids play. Eva was disappointed she didn't get to ride the Wonder Wheel, but that's another expense. We may go out in a few months just to hit up that park, but without as many kids.
