365: Day 187

7/7/13: We had a fun morning playing over at Josie & Theo's house today. There is never a dull moment when you get two sets of 3-year-old twins together! Both Silas and Theo are pretty mellow and like to do their own thing, but Josie and Zoe have strong personalities. To say they can be difficult at times is a huge understatement. Teresa and I joked that they will either hate either when they get older, or they will get into lots and lots of trouble together.


They had fun playing car wash (I will definitely be doing this at home sometime soon!),


Riding on pedal toys,


And riding their bikes!


It was day 5 of a heat wave, so everyone was ready to cool off and eat lunch in the air conditioning.


After nap the kids and I went to AC Moore to pick out yarn for another baby blanket. I recently completed another blanket, the third in a row, and I've got two more to do. S&Z like looking at yarn with me and today they played with knitting needles for awhile. I hope one of them got the crafty gene!

Cook's Notes: I made Whole Wheat Tortilla Pie with Chicken for supper tonight and it was a big hit! I omitted the jalapeno pepper for sensitive palates, but added a little chipotle red pepper powder along with the cumin. Next time I would consider adding red and green peppers when the onions get sauteed; you could also try shredded zucchini or carrot, or chopped spinach. This recipe was loved by all and is getting flagged as a favorite in pepperplate! I will also keep it mind as it was intended, as a freeze-ahead meal for a friend who needs dinner!

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!
