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!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
