Cousin Emily's Birthday Party

Derek's cousin Joyce had an Elmo-themed birthday party over the weekend for her daughter, Emily, who recently turned 2. They live in Plymouth which is about an hour away from our house. The party started at 3:00 so we headed down after S&Z woke up from their nap.

Joyce was so sweet to wait for our arrival before doing the pinata.


There were water tables set up,



And play-doh! Big cousin Kaylan LOVES playing with Silas & Zoe!


Zoe gravitated towards Emily's shopping cart,


And Silas loved the sandbox.


By this point in the party, Silas was soaked from the water table and filthy from the sandbox so he was stripped down to his onesie.



And then it was time for cake! Joyce takes after her mom, Derek's Aunt Doreen, who is an amazing baker. Joyce baked and decorated this Elmo cake for Emily!


All the kids sat at picnic tables for cake (which was delicious!),




It was such a fun day! We were so happy to be able to celebrate with the birthday girl!

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!

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
