Birthday Eve

It's the eve of our 2nd birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much fun stuff to come!

Silas was his usual happy, adorable self this morning. I was trying to get a picture of him wearing his "Child Scientist" t-shirt from my friend Kristin's lab at the U of WI. I couldn't get a good shot of the logo, instead you can simply see how happy he is in the kitchen on his stool :-)


Tonight for birthday eve we stayed up a little late and played with play-doh using the awesome craft trays that Wendy recently found for us. The trays are great because they help contain the mess for lots of projects (says the OCD Mommy)! They are going to get a lot of use with art projects this winter!!!


We hung up this week's project from our Sticky Fingers art class. Miss Donna had paints and cut up sponges so that we could paint foliage on the trees.


Our fridge is filling up with adorable, seasonal projects!


We were sure to read Happy Birthday, Thomas and On the Day You Were Born before bed tonight. Now that the house is quiet and cleaned up, I'm just waiting for Daddy Derek to wake up and for our congratulatory thai food to arrive. We have survived yet another year with this crazy schedule!!!

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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

York's Wild Kingdom

Friday was our last day of vacation and check-out time at Village by the Sea was 10am. We wanted to do one last fun thing before coming back to Boston, so we headed to York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine. The zoo had just opened when we got there, and apparently lots of other families had the same idea as us! This zoo is definitely aimed for little kids, and Silas and Zoe (and Derek!) had a blast! Our first stop was the butterfly sanctuary, and this was definitely my favorite part of the day... We had the kids both in and out of the stroller throughout our visit. The zoo was packed with people, so it was a little nuts having them roam free and try to manage an empty double stroller too. But they were happier to get in and out of the stroller at their leisure with all the walking. There were several highlights for the kids - all of which involved feeding the animals from your hand. One was the duck pond, The deer were pretty awesome, As was the petting zoo
