This weekend Move About Myrtle is back and the weather is looking lovely (so there’s no chance of cancellation like last week!) This week there’s a schedule full of fun stuff going on which you can see on the Myrtle Minutes section of the Myrtle Ave Partnership website. But I wanted to highlight the FDNY Smokehouse which will be located on Myrtle between Vanderbuilt and Clinton. FDNY Smokehouse is a life size fire safety unit, complete with crawl spaces and safety instructions. My toddler is completely obsessed with firemen and firetrucks, so you can be sure we will be checking this out!
Cameron has fun with sidewalk chalk on Myrtle
Also this weekend is the Carlton – Willoughby Block Association annual stoop sale taking place on Carlton Ave between Dekalb and Myrtle on Sunday. This massive stoop sale is worth checking out! Last year over 20 stoops participated so there’s lots of treasures to be found.

Cameron loves to swing. So yesterday while we were out and about in the afternoon we stopped at Camel Park (at the corner of Carlton and Dekalb in Fort Greene) for an impromptu ride on the swings – but they were all wet from the morning’s rain storms. Usually I have a cloth with me for dealing with such occasions, but I hadn’t planned ahead this time. I thought to myself… what do I have with me that is absorbent? Duh, a diaper!

Swinging Happily
So next time you are out and you need something to dry off a wet swing, try using a diaper. It worked like a charm!
UPDATE: Due to rain the stoop sales will be tomorrow, Sunday!
Assuming it doesn’t rain on Saturday there is a huge stoop sale event going on in Fort Greene organized by the Carlton / Willoughby block association. So far there are 17 stoops participating on Carlton Ave between Myrtle and Dekalb, but usually people join in on the day-of. If you are looking for gently used kids clothes and toys, or just something fun to do outside with your kids, check it out. I will be out there with Cameron selling a few items… and I am sure we will check out what everyone else has too! Here’s the flyer:
Come find some bargains!
My favorite park in the Fort Greene neighborhood is “Camel Park” on Dekalb between Carlton and Adelphi. It’s got great baby swings in the shade, and a nice sprinkler. Cameron loves it!
