365: Day 262- Friday Mornings are Glorious

9/20/13: Today is the 2nd week of preschool, which means it's the 2nd Friday morning that I've had off from work without the kids around. I can't believe I actually considered going back to work since they would be in school. What in the heck was I thinking?!

I had the entire morning to myself because Derek had an appointment and then met up with his parents who were at Dana Farber for Joanne's monthly treatment. After bringing the kids to school I headed to the gym. I set a new record on the elliptical, logging over 4 miles in 45 minutes!!


After the gym I had a pedicure, and then stopped at the grocery store to grab a few things to make a fun dinner with the kids tonight. I arrived for pick-up about 20 minutes early so I parked the car and walked over to Starbucks to get an iced coffee. All in all, an awesome morning (and a great exercise day according to my Fitbit summary!).


Otherwise it was a mellow day, as evidenced by realizing that I needed to snap the picture of the day in the bath before bed!

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!

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. 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. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.

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...
