Derek and I had an amazing belated birthday brunch at Upstairs on the Square in Cambridge today. We had arranged for Julia to come for 4 hours, so we ended up with extra time to run errands after brunch. I've had a Toys 'r Us list building in my head so we decided to cross that off the list.
We have been looking around for a little table and chairs, and didn't find what we were looking for at Ikea on Friday. We ended up finding a great, inexpensive Little Tikes plastic set today, however. We also got them their first set of crayons, and they had a great time coloring like big kids at their new table. Derek's friends, Dave & Kirstyn, gave us some fun, colored printer paper so they were all set!
Zoe at times seemed more interested in climbing than coloring,
But Silas was really into it! The activity definitely held their interest longer than I expected!
It's not often (i.e., never) that we buy them toys so I guess we went all out today! But wait, wasn't I just talking about giving all the toys away??? Doh...

We also got them a magnetic farm toy like one that we had played with at The Brennan's house this summer.
And a stroller for the baby that The Brennan's gave S&Z for their birthday.
Of course, the most fun was had with the box that the table and chairs came in :)
