Mommy & Silas

We have finally rejoined the living this weekend and it feels so good to be getting out and about after 3 weeks of sickness! Silas ran errands with Derek yesterday, so today we split up in the reverse. Zoe headed to Stop & Shop with Daddy and Silas and I decided to head to the library. Before we left he got to take a bath by himself (which basically never happens when you're a twin!) so he was in HEAVEN.


Then we bundled up and walked down to the library to get some new books.


It was cold and Silas was pretty tired so we decided to take the bus home. The only other time he has been on the bus was when he was a baby, so this was a big treat!


Of course the bus was packed and people were rude, but we had only two stops to go and he was in a state of wonder the entire time. After we got off the bus he kept talking about the noises the bus made :) Now we just need take both kids on the train. Both the bus and train are so much a part of my daily existence, but public transportation is not conducive to double strollers so we have pretty much avoided it like the plague.

I love it that we get more one-on-one time with the kids these days. Hopefully they love it too!

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!

Food Prep

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...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
