Day 143- Children's Museum


5/24/13: During the month of May admission to the Boston Children's Museum is free for families of first responders. It was a rainy, dreary week so we decided to take advantage of the offer and head to the museum on Friday morning. All Derek had to do was show his BEMS badge and id and all 4 of us got in for free.

First we hit the "Arthur" exhibit,


Of course we had to stop at the school bus in the Countdown to Kindergarten room.


And then we headed to "Peep's World". Watching S&Z explore the water and bubbles this visit was awesome. They are really trying to figure out properties of the various media!

 

 We stopped at the cafeteria for lunch,


and then we headed to the kinetics room.


Another fun day spent at a local museum, and the best part was that it was FREE!

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!

Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty.

Today

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...
