Ikea

Because I had to work on Sunday, today started a 5-day weekend for me. I haven't been to Ikea since I was VERY pregnant - I'm just over 32 weeks in the picture below (and yes, I was shopping in a wheelchair by this point in my pregnancy. It wasn't pretty).


As usual, I wanted to get S&Z out of the house this morning so Derek & I decided to head to Ikea. The kids were very happy when they saw the shoes and coats come out, and they waited patiently by the door to be loaded into the car.


Ikea is great because they have "family friendly" parking close to the door. They have these neat little carts parked nearby that worked great for us each to take a kid.


After doing some shopping, we had lunch in the Ikea cafeteria. S&Z love being out and watching all the people so they had a great time.




Once we were done eating, it was time to pack them up again and finish our shopping.


They were exhausted and provided each other lots of goofy entertainment while we waited to check out.




Our best purchase of the trip is definitely the tent we found. I have wanted a tent since we played in Sydney & Ivy's a few months ago. I figured it would be a great addition to our tunnel.


Derek set it up while they "napped" (another story entirely). I took some pictures of them checking it out once they got up!





Even Salvador wanted to come and see what the excitement was all about,


We heart Ikea, especially on a Thursday morning when it's not very busy :)

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.
