365: Day 199

7/19/13: Sometimes they look like this,


And sometimes they look like this.


At least 5 timeouts were given collectively today. Zoe is being SUCH A PILL recently, hitting, growling, and generally ordering everyone around like a military general. Age 3.9 is really testing me, and this is Reason #114 that I am so happy to have recently started going to the gym! I tried out water aerobics today for the first time and Derek got Husband of the Year award by taking the class with me. I've had problems with my left hip since the kids were babies, and recently again I've been in a lot of pain. The class was a fun way to get a low impact workout at the end of long week spent working my butt off on the elliptical and rowing machines.

Cook's Notes: Mommy Lunch today consisted of (clockwise from top) red peppers, radishes, kohlrabi, haruki turnips, carrots, crackers, swiss cheese, pickles, almonds, the last of the pick-your-own blueberries, cucumbers, and tofu. Mommy and Daddy Lunch was salads topped with the same array of veggies, along with tuna salad and crackers.


For supper tonight I took leftover Fiesta Casserole and made quesadillas. Zoe sat down at the table and said, "YUM!". 

I have finally accepted that you win some and you lose some... We'll see what they think of Falafel tomorrow night!

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.
