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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
