The Wonder of Christmas, 2nd Ed.

Even though we are a little behind on Christmas decorating this year, we are definitely in the Christmas spirit around here! The kids love all kinds of Christmas music and now specifically ask for it if I'm not playing it already. The tree isn't decorated yet, but we've got the stockings and Christmas cards hung, along with a few other decorations here and there. We have been talking a lot about Santa and all things Christmas, and they are really curious about everything. They love seeing the lights on the houses in the neighborhood, and say "more lights houses" as we're walking around at dusk.

We were finally able to put the guest room back together last weekend once the painting was done. On one of Derek's nights off this week he put up the tree without the distraction of our two little helpers. Since they didn't see the tree go up, we were excited to see their reaction to it when they got up in the morning


Hey brother, come on!


The view is better from down here!


Their faces say it all.

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). 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!
