Little Bookworms Story Time

Since my mom is visiting I'm taking a couple of weekdays off from work. It was raining today, so we decided to take the kids to the Little Bookworms Story Time at the MSPCA Animal Medical Center. Each week they feature a different animal that is up for adoption. This week we met Nigel the Parrot!



Nigel squawked quite loudly, so Zoe got a little scared and stayed pretty close to us the rest of the time.


After meeting Nigel, it was storytime!


There were probably 40 kids there, so they also have areas to color and play with play-doh. Silas lost interest in the stories and decided to color instead. There was a LOT going on in the space, so he looks a little shell shocked in this picture :-)


It seems like this will be a fun outing for Derek & the kids on Wednesday mornings now that the weather is turning cold. I just wish I could go too...

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...

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!
