Teppanyaki

Silas continues to be really into cooking. He and Zoe got into a fight the other day - she wanted to watch "Blue's Clues", and he insisted on watching Food TV! It was going to be another hot one today, so we decided to keep things low key and have a food and fitness morning. I have power walked 20 miles this week, and logged another 2 miles with the kids this morning before the humidity was too oppressive. Next we went to Allandale Farm to buy our produce for the week.


We had some time to kill before our eating destination opened for lunch, so we stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods so that I could buy some hand weights. Finally, we headed to Kiku Yama Japanese Steakhouse for lunch.

I knew that Silas in particular would be really into the front row view of the cooking that takes place at a teppanyaki restaurant.


Initially Zoe was interested too.


Until things started being set on fire, that is.


Silas was surprised but stayed next to Daddy and watched.


Zoe flew into my arms sobbing, and we watched from a safe distance.


Our show was quickly over and she recovered, but unfortunately she got scared again when the chef at the grill next to us set the oil on fire.


All drama aside, both kids LOVED the food.


The waitress was very sweet and brought Zoe extra Andes mints at the end of the meal.


When it was time to go Silas said "bye-bye fishies",


And Zoe announced "I don't like fire, I like steam".

Huh?

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.
