Ikea

Because I had to work on Sunday, today started a 5-day weekend for me. I haven't been to Ikea since I was VERY pregnant - I'm just over 32 weeks in the picture below (and yes, I was shopping in a wheelchair by this point in my pregnancy. It wasn't pretty).


As usual, I wanted to get S&Z out of the house this morning so Derek & I decided to head to Ikea. The kids were very happy when they saw the shoes and coats come out, and they waited patiently by the door to be loaded into the car.


Ikea is great because they have "family friendly" parking close to the door. They have these neat little carts parked nearby that worked great for us each to take a kid.


After doing some shopping, we had lunch in the Ikea cafeteria. S&Z love being out and watching all the people so they had a great time.




Once we were done eating, it was time to pack them up again and finish our shopping.


They were exhausted and provided each other lots of goofy entertainment while we waited to check out.




Our best purchase of the trip is definitely the tent we found. I have wanted a tent since we played in Sydney & Ivy's a few months ago. I figured it would be a great addition to our tunnel.


Derek set it up while they "napped" (another story entirely). I took some pictures of them checking it out once they got up!





Even Salvador wanted to come and see what the excitement was all about,


We heart Ikea, especially on a Thursday morning when it's not very busy :)

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! 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!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
