The Zoe and Silas Show

4/23/13: Tuesday was a wet and cold night on Yawkey Way, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits. We dressed warmly and arrived at 5:00 for a 6:30 game so that we would have time to check out the ballpark. Of course we had hot dogs for dinner. And then we made our way to our seats.   Thank goodness the seats were covered! We also had an entire row to ourselves, so the kids had fun dancing and bopping around. When I asked them the next day what their favorite part of going to the game was, they both replied "watching the game!".  We made it until the 4th inning, and Zoe cried and cried when we left. And that is how fans are born. We will definitely get tickets again next year!

4/21/13: We watched Food TV for a little while this morning before heading out to run errands. As usual, Silas was completely engrossed. We watched Paula Deen's son make " Guiltless Cheesy Mac ". I think we'll be trying that one out later this week. Someone donated a bunch of Red Sox tickets to the families of first responders, so we're taking S&Z to a game on Tuesday night! 3/4 of us are lacking in gear, so this morning we went on a shopping mission so that we can appropriately represent at the game. We ended up buying 3 t-shirts at 3 different stores. All that shopping left us hungry so we hit up Five Guys for burgers and fries. It was mine and the kids' first time there - that food is crack. Zoe double fisted her bun and kosher dog. And Silas ate his first-ever burger. Zoe was being her usual goofy self providing entertainment for the rest of us. Derek worked again tonight and the kids and I made Vegetarian Enchilada Cas...

3/29/13: Showing Daddy her Boston Red Sox hat. She's worn it every day this week since we explained that it blocks the sun from getting in her eyes.

2/15/13: Nothing says Happy 37th Birthday like tempura-fried cheesecake! Our day started off with S&Z's Friday morning sports class. I shot a quick picture of them driving the scooters using frisbees as the steering wheels. Then we met Joanne & Denny at a Japanese steakhouse for birthday lunch.  S&Z did so great using the starter chopsticks!  Derek was supposed to work tonight but he was able to take a holiday at the last minute. He's actually off this weekend, so today kicked off a 3-day birthday weekend! Tomorrow night we are going out for dinner and bowling with Jeff & Megan - first date night since October!  Happy birthday, darlin'! We love you so much.

2/11/13: The next Bruins fan.

11/18/12: Football Sunday. We only get to spend 2 Sunday's together every 6 weeks, but after not having any Sunday afternoon or evenings together for 3 years, Derek's new schedule feels like a dream.

4/14/12: Playing basketball on a beautiful spring day.

3/20/12: Soccer, anyone?

2/5/12: Super Bowl snuggles.

Derek is up early and the kids are up late - it's the first night of Monday Night Football, with the Patriots vs. the Dolphins!!! Autumn is definitely here!
