365: Day 33

2/2/14: Is there is a game on today or something? Derek is working so things feel pretty normal around here. The kids and I went to the Y this morning and I started my new strength training routine. I'm going to be very sore tomorrow! I told S&Z that I lifted weights and Zoe walked around the rest of the day lifting a pretend bar bell. Love that kid! Derek had already worked out 4 days this week, so he stayed home and made hummus and cauliflower rice (my new obsession!).

At the library yesterday we got a book about storms. Derek was very happy when they picked it as their before-nap book. I love this picture because it reminds me of this one when they were watching a real storm on the back deck, also from the safety of Daddy's lap.


Per usual, Silas busted out of quiet time this afternoon, over and over, until he finally said: "But I'm not tired. My brain says it's not time to sleep because I'M NOT TIRED!".

Okay, you win.

Or depending on your perspective, I win. Because he cleaned all of the potatoes for dinner while Zoe slept :)

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.
