Today

Today I got to stay in bed until 8:00 because Derek was off work last night. Unfortunately Zoe was super cranky, so I woke up to her crying a little after 7:00. Silas just looks at her when she gets like this in the morning and says "Zoe hungry". Derek made us pancakes for breakfast and then Zoe was happy.

Today we went back to Hale Reservation.


Today it was 75 degrees, and we invited Wendy, Dave and the girls to join us at Hale.


The kids had a lot of fun watching fish.


And of course there was plenty of sand scooping and water mixing. Silas made sand soup :)


We love it here.


S&Z decided they felt like wading to see more fish. Next time I'll put them in their water clothes so that their shorts don't get wet!


Today our picnic included radishes and harukai turnips from yesterday's Farmer's Market.


Today the kids napped for 2.5 hours. After I woke them up we walked for 2.5 miles.

Today we skyped with my Dad & Mary while the kids played in the backyard. Today Zoe said "I'm too busy" when I asked her to come and say goodbye.

Tonight I need to do some menu planning. Work is too exhausting to waste mental energy on my way home everyday figuring out what's for dinner!

Tonight the kids are watching "Blue's Clues" before bed, and then it will be time to say night-night. 

Night-night!

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!
