Friday's are Fun

I'm very thankful to have been able to arrange a 4-day work week since going back to lab following my maternity leave. Friday's have always been great because they start my 3-day weekend at home with S&Z. Since our early intervention playgroup started last week, Friday's are more fun than ever!


Everyone was all smiles at breakfast, which was a nice change because this has not been true for much of the week due to those darn molars.
Playgroup was a success today. S&Z are catching onto the routines and they did really great with all the activity shifts. There is another set of b/g twins who started the group this week. They are 21-months old and super cute! They were born at 28 weeks but they seem to be doing great! I really can't take pictures due to the privacy of the other kids in group, but Derek did snap this pic of Zoe playing in the gross motor room :)
Zoe and Silas both sat down on the little butt mats for the entirety of circle time at the end of group (this didn't happen last week). Zoe even figured out the motions with one of the songs! They took a 3 hour nap after lunch; I think this will be the M.O. on Friday's now. We did lots of playing before dinner,
Keeping them busy while I cooked required a little creativity, but the J.Jill catalog served a nice distraction.


It was another fantastic Friday!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! 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!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
