First Haircuts!

My friend and co-worker, Kristine, cuts hair at a salon in the South End neighborhood of Boston. If you want a great haircut at an Aveda Salon, book with her at Moxie Star Salon! I am so lucky that she also does kids' hair and she even makes house calls. Silas and Zoe's hair has gotten quite long, so we finally decided to "book" their first hair cut. With the holidays coming up, we figured it was time...

Silas went first. We put him in his booster seat in front of Sesame Street cartoons playing on the computer. He did awesome!!!!


You can see how long his hair was in this picture, because the left half is cut but the right half isn't!!!


Awwww, Big Bird! This was their first Sesame Street viewing experience and it worked like a charm!


Here's the finished product (sorry, Kristine, that I didn't get a better picture!).


Zoe was next. We were a little worried about how she would do since she can be *a little* high maintenance sometimes, but she was sucked into the crack cartoons and also did great!



And the finished product for number two!


Zoe really took a liking to Kristine, and gave her multiple hugs and snuggles to say thank you!!!





Thank you so much, Kristine!!! We really appreciate it!!!!

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!

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...

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.
