Happy Monday! We are coming off a very productive weekend in Chautauqua. Despite the 30 degree temperatures on Saturday morning, the boys were able to get the docks in and set up. It was chilly but they worked hard and fast and we had hot chili ready for them when they were done.
We did a lot of projects like taking wall paper off the back of a bookshelf in the playroom, painting some of the trim that was not done, and jack-hammering a random piece of concrete from the side of the house. We also made time for a 5.5 mile run to get us going on the marathon training guide.
It was a great kick off to summer weekend, even if it didn’t feel like summer!
For Dock Day, we usually have a big meal when the boys finish and this year was no exception. We were ready with chili, baked potatoes, mango black bean slaw, sandwiches and this fun springtime salad.
This salad tastes fresh and full of fun spring flavors. It works with quinoa, bulgur, freekeh, couscous or wheat berries. It’s easy to add other ingredients according to what you have!
