Tuesday Sickies

Now 3/4 of us are sick. Thankfully Derek seems to have escaped it, at least so far. That's a good thing, since he is in charge of the turkey and stuffing. The plan is that he will prep a bunch overnight on Wednesday since he will be awake on his night off anyway. I should be doing stuff tonight as well, but barely pulled together a simple dinner of tacos and spanish rice. I'm aiming to get a good night's rest tonight and perhaps there will be a miraculous recovery tomorrow.

Oh, did I mention that I also have a big 5pm deadline for a work project tomorrow?

The kids were cranky when I got home tonight and Julia reported that they didn't nap very well. I suggested to them that we just snuggle on the couch before heading to the bedroom for stories and pj's. They couldn't have been happier to oblige! As I recently mentioned, we gave the kids a couple of old cell phones we dug up this weekend. Silas still can't get enough of them. I also found a Raggedy Ann doll that was mine when I was a little girl, so S&Z had quite the time getting to know her tonight following her "bath" in the washing machine. There were lots of doll hugs and kisses. R.A. also got plenty of drinks of milk :-)

They are talking up a storm and are full of energy even when sick. I'm posting this one for the g-parents!

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!

Food Prep

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...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
