Out and About

In addition to swimming and relaxing we have also gotten out to explore around Sue and Bob's house.  On Thursday morning Derek left to visit his family in Iowa, so Sue and I took the kids to a nearby farm.


Afterward we stopped by a park that Silas wanted to go to, referred to as the "rocky park" due to this car. 



On Friday morning we hit up the local library.



We needed to get a few groceries, and the local Jubilee happened to have kid carts!


Unfortunately Zoe got her ankle run over by Silas' cart, so she got some special Grandma time when we got home. 



My parents leave tomorrow and we spend the next few days with Stephanie and Jim & my Dad and Mary. Can't wait to see them!

Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
