2/8/14: Silas has been wearing half 4T and half 5T clothes for a few months now. Zoe's drawer is populated by 4T but she often pulls from Silas' drawer and has some things that don't fit very well. I finally made it to Old Navy on Friday and decided to just buy a bunch of "gender neutral" (i.e., boys) 5T clothes from which they both can pull from. There were a few "girls only" purchases (see pants below), but for the most part I bought a pile of clothes they can share. Excited about all the new clothes, Zoe put together a fabulous outfit.
We are taking a family trip to Portland, Maine for one night during School Vacation Week, so we headed out to look for pool flotation devices on Saturday. We didn't find what we were looking for, but S&Z found kid-size lanterns and fishing poles for camping this summer (which we didn't buy),
and Derek found a new sleeping bag (which we did buy).
We also found a $2100+ tent with a built-in stove (which we didn't buy).
We couldn't find the "float belts" that S&Z use in conjunction with their swimming lessons at the Y, so we ended up ordering them from Amazon.

Cook's Notes: Mr. No Napper helped me make Quinoa and Spinach Patties for lunches this week. The recipe made 16 patties (a serving size is 2),
which is a good thing because Silas loved them as well! I am going to eat mine on top of cauliflower rice.
Zoe was tough to wake up from nap, although Silas helped solve that problem-
We spent some quality time watching the Olympics, in between making progress on this week's punch list.
For dinner we had "norwegian tostadas" that were inspired by the norwegian burrito I used to order at Mexican Village back home. We started with corn tortillas that I baked into tostadas. I made mashed potatoes (technically Champ, but that would make these Irish-Norwegian tostadas and that's just too complicated!), and used the potatoes as the first layer on the crispy tostada. I topped the potatoes with refried beans and cheese. Pure deliciousness that has S&Z have eaten for THREE meals since I made them!
