A Great Start to a Long Weekend

Derek got called as a witness in a patient abuse case for someone he transported to the hospital awhile back. Since he had to show up to court at 8:30am on a Thursday morning, it was the perfect excuse for me to take the day off and enjoy a 5-day holiday weekend!

We dropped Derek off at the courthouse first thing after breakfast and decided to head out to the Arboretum to enjoy the long-awaited gorgeous spring weather. We sure are getting some good use out of our backpacks these days! The kids were so darn cute - they walked for awhile HOLDING HANDS.


Folks from the Arboretum were doing some work so S&Z were very curious about the work truck.



We had plans to meet up with our friends Miriam and Garrison. It has been awhile since we've seen them so that was very fun! The kids took a load off and had a snack while we waited for them to arrive.




Two hours wandering around outside is a lot for S&Z, so they were exhausted and cranky by the time we left. Thankfully Derek got out of court before 11am, so he walked over to meet us and helped me load up the kids!

Julia covered her usual 2-6pm shift even though I was off, so I invited my new twin mom friend, Teresa, to have a mommy (sans kids) playdate. We ended up seeing a matinee of the movie "Bridesmaids" (which was both raunchy and hilarious). After the movie we sat outside at Aquitaine and enjoyed a martini and some great non-kid interrupted conversation.

We have a few fun things planned for the holiday weekend as well. We are heading up to Ipswich for a belated 1st birthday celebration with Timery, Steve and JB. On Sunday, Wendy is having a Memorial Day BBQ for all the twin families in her playgroup. The warm weather has finally arrived, so we're looking forward to enjoying more time outside with friends!!

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.
