Today

I scheduled an appointment for a pedicure ~ 2 months ago, knowing how good it would feel to treat myself to one in the middle of the winter. Since I was going to be down at the salon I suggested to Derek that he and the kids meet me after the appointment and we could head over to the library. We talked about going to the library all morning.


Zoe was very sad when we packed up the library books that needed to be returned. The library books usually sit on the middle shelf of the bookcase in their room.


She was also really sad when I told her I was going to the salon and she realized that I was going alone. Apparently she wanted to get her haircut again! I explained that I was getting my toes painted and that we will be getting our haircut again in March.

The fam met me at the salon and they got to see the tail end of the pedicure. Zoe talked about "momma toes painted" for the rest of the day :-)

We have been going to the library every 2-3 weeks since November and they LOVE it. We say goodbye to each book as we put them in the return slot, and then we pick out 10-15 new books.


The kids are much better behaved now than the first time we went to the library. When we got home today everybody read new books while I put lunch together.

Auntie Kristin, we love the Child Scientist t-shirts!!!
It was a great morning spent out and about in our neighborhood!

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.
