Band on the diaper run is leaving Babble. I’m going to continue writing my blog on Matesofstate.com. I’m not sure I’ll keep the name “band on the diaper run” since technically, we said goodbye to diapers a couple years ago. Our kids are older now. That’s not to say we won’t have tour adventures to share. That’s also not to say I won’t need advice from people who can relate..sometimes that’s the reason I write. Sometimes there will be posts unrelated to kids-and I think many people who read this also enjoy the music side of things.
Read the rest on Babble here: http://blogs.babble.com/babble-voices/band-on-the-diaper-run/2012/04/18/bye-bye-babble/
and check out a special cover song for the occasion….
Crushes is on CLEAR vinyl, and you can get one directly from us after we play the in-store at Sound Fix in Brooklyn, NY, 7:30pm tomorrow (4/21/12)
It will be available online in the future so stay tuned for more information
65+ degrees=family of ninja warriors, front lawn picnics, bike-rides, outdoor concerts, fresh air…kids are literally skipping down the sidewalk right now.
Also, maybe this is obvious, but 4 yrs is too old for riding in an infant seat. I forgot that June grew a lot through the fall and winter. Rounding a corner yesterday, we toppled over with her still strapped in. Also, Mags’ early allergies are causing excema and headaches and red-eyes again. And the house organization I’ve been meaning to do will be put on the back burner as the garden is ready to be turned over and the mildew needs to be wiped off the swing-set and outside toys.

Favorite kid concert memories:
1. Performing a lip sync of “My Girl” on the Fourth of July to 3 sets of parents and getting one of the dads to make a surprise appearance in drag as “the girl”.
2. Choreographing 10 kids in leotards when I was 10 years old to the song “Playing with the Queen of Hearts”
3. Dressing my 5 year old sister up as Bruce Springsteen for “Born in the USA” while I got to be Madonna “Lucky Star” (which now looking back at pictures, I should have already been wearing a bra for, nice one.)
