Patriot's Day

Patriot's Day (aka, Marathon Monday) is a Boston holiday. Children's Hospital, as well as many other local businesses, give employee's Patriot's Day off because it's basically impossible to navigate around the city due to the marathon. This year this equals a 4-day weekend for me (I'm usually off Friday-Sunday)!

Our friends Ricky & Heidi gave Silas & Zoe the cutest Red Sox onesies, bibs, and stuffed baseballs. Since there is a special Patriot's Day 11am game today, we dressed them up and took some pictures. It's also a big day for them because the TV is on! We never have the TV on when they're awake, so they happily playing on the floor right now watching the baseball game :)














Happy Patriot's Day from your favorite Boston Twins!!!

We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
