Day 146- Memorial Day

The sun and warm(er) weather finally arrived today! We had plans with Teresa, Tim, Josie & Theo so we decided to meet up at Hale Reservation for a picnic. Upon arrival at North Beach the kids discovered 3 huge piles of sand - the beaches are probably getting spruced up for the start of summer camps in the next few weeks. These sand piles were perfect for kid climbing,


and sliding!


Everyone had a great time playing by the water too.


For lunch I made a Weelicious tuna pasta salad and Teresa made a fruit salad. Unfortunately the air temps didn't get as warm as we hoped and there were pretty high winds, so everyone was COLD for the picnic! 


After lunch we packed up and headed back into the woods.


When I asked the kids at bedtime what their favorite part of today was, they replied "sand mountains!!!"

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.
