Water Table

Auntie Rachel & Uncle Keith gave us an awesome water table for S&Z's birthday in October. We were able to get some use out of it inside over the winter, but today was the summer kick-off outside! After dinner I stripped the kids down to their diapers, threw on their water shoes, and we headed out to the back deck.







They had SO much fun!! In addition to the accessories that came with the table, I also threw a few beach and bath toys in there so they had a lot to explore.

All this playing is hard work so Z decided to pull up a chair and take a load off at one point!

We found these toddler size lawn chairs at the Dollar Store a few weeks ago and S&Z sit in them all the time! The water shoes we bought at Old Navy recently seem really great and will get a lot of use this summer too...

Both kids have learned how to blow bubbles on their own now, so they went back and forth between blowing bubbles and playing with the water.




What a mess!

At this age, I think that the water table might provide more hours of fun than the splash pool did last summer. I would highly recommend a water table for anyone with toddlers, especially folks who have limited outdoor space available. It works really well on a deck and it only takes a few quarts of water to fill it.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!!!!!

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...
