Spring Break Part Two: Life with Nat

We had a great week with our teen-in-residence, Natalie.


On Tuesday, we dragged Nat out of bed again for a day of kiddie activities. She provided moral support as we took Margot for her 2nd haircut of her life. The mullet was reappearing and had to go. She sat on Nat's lap for the ordeal. We were just lucky the stylist didn't sever Margot's artery as she whipped her head around. Nat and Margot were rewarded with nutella crepes.

Wednesday was TopShop Day. I had to call six weeks ahead to book her personal stylist. We arrived to meet Emma. She interviewed Nat about her style preferences and sizes (really small, ugh). Then, they shopped separately, bringing back lots of items to try on in her personal dressing room. Nat didn't really need a style advisor, but ended up with tons of super cute clothes.

Thursday was zoo day. Mostly Nat chased crazy Margot all over the place. Margot liked her ice cream cone best. What animals?

On Friday we got up early and headed out to Camden Market. Andy stayed home with the tikes. Guess we were a little early for the punksters as not that much was open. Nat found a couple cute t-shirts and we had fun gawking at people. That afternoon, we all went to the Heath and hung out at the Fair. Well, until bands of hooligans got into a fight and one stabbed the other one. Seemed like a good time to leave. (The mafia would never let that happen in NY). Luckily, Margot was oblivious. Nat was craving funnel cake - they don't have that here.

Saturday morning was our Easter Hunt. Read on.
