Season Opener

My sister used the phrase "season opener" on FB today to refer to her first pedicure of the season. This is also a great phrase for our first outing to the playground! S&Z started walking in the middle of the winter, so this is our first season of running, climbing and exploring outside. There is a great tot lot (n. 'a playground for very young children') in our neighborhood that had been recommended to me by another mom. It was a chilly morning (< 40 degrees F), but we needed to get out of the house, so me, Grandma, Silas & Zoe headed out while Derek dealt with having new brakes installed in the M.V.

At first they just wanted to walk around and explore the space. It's all fenced in and we had the entire playground to ourselves! I guess it pays to brave the cold weather :)

My little people look even littler on this scale!

Grandma got her exercise today!

What? We needed to take a load off for a sec...

Back exploring, hat askew

There were a lot of slides and stair climbing involved in the morning's activities!





And a few breaks taken for snacks on the park bench,



I'm very excited for many more fun trips to the park in the warmer months to come!

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...

Silas, 7/26/17

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!
