Patty, FAO & Dylan's

We were SO glad that Daddy was home from his Cali trip that we barely let him rest before we ran out the door for some St. Patty's Day family fun in the city. We caught the end of the St. Patrick's Day parade, which impressed Talmage (see wide open mouth above for evidence) but was a little sketchy in the parental's eyes...mostly because the crowd was filled exclusively with drunk people.

We quickly (read: immediately) decided to move to a safer location, FAO Schwarz. This toy store was AMAZING and the prices were OUTRAGEOUS. But it was a lot of fun to look around, and T had a ball!

There is a GIANT piano that people can play with their feet. You want to take one of these babies home? It'll only cost you $250,000. That's no joke. Crazy, huh?

Talmage loved taking all the toy boxes off of the shelves and surrounding himself with them--especially when the boxes housed cars, trucks, trains or anything with wheels!

After playtime at FAO was over, we decided to visit Dylan's Candy Bar--a high end sweets store owned by Ralph Lauren's daughter. It was beautiful, delicious-looking and really entertaining. All three of us were like kids in a candy store!

Now that's my kind of bath...instead of bubbles, it's filled with bubble gum. Yummo!

Of course we didn't leave empty-handed, but luckily a two-year-old doesn't want for much. A green sucker was his treat for the day and we headed home (before the streets became even more insane). What a great St. Patty's Day.
