Meet and Greet

S&Z have been so cute leading up to starting school this week. We've been talking about it all summer.

-Months ago Zoe announced that she would be taking the school bus to school. We chuckled and informed her that someday she will take a school bus, but for now Daddy will be taking her each day.
-Last night Zoe informed me that she had a "missing backpack". Kinda funny that she considered it "missing' since we haven't bought any backpacks yet!
-We need to buy new sneakers for them on Thursday, so I told them we'll look for backpacks too. Zoe declared that she wants a blue one and Silas wants a red one. I'll be curious to see what they pick out once they are presented with a few choices.
-I asked the kids at breakfast what we were doing today, and they both said "going to school!". Without missing a beat Zoe yelled "DROP ME OFF!". Derek and I just about died laughing. He told her that he will only too happy to oblige next week.
-We were leaving the house to head to the "meet and greet" session this morning. Zoe declared "no car. I go to school on the school bus!". Derek told her to get her little butt in the family school bus :)


-One of the preschool teachers, Miss Donna, was the woman who taught the art classes the kids took last year. As we were getting out of the car at school today, Silas said "I want to get flowers for Miss Donna". Sooooo sweet!


I tried to get a picture of them as we walked into the building, but this was as good as it got. I'll try again on their first official day.


There are 21 kids in the class (14 boys and 7 girls!) so there are 3 teachers. The classroom is big and bright and full of fun stuff to do.




They had a blast exploring everything, but they still told us when they had to use the potty (yay!). They were the last kids to leave the session!  There is an abbreviated class on Thursday (45 minutes) where Derek will stay in the building but the parents are not in the classroom. Regular classes, 8:45-11:15 T/Th start on the 18th! I am so excited for them!

We grabbed a quick lunch to celebrate before I headed in to work. 


More pictures to come next week!

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!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...

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!!!
