365: Day 221- Kaylan's Birthday Party

8/10/13: Zoe & Silas were SO excited to go to Kaylan's 6th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese on Saturday! They have never played video games before so they were innundated with lots of new stuff to figure out.


Each kid got a bowl full of tokens when they arrived and everyone played in the arcade for an hour before pizza and cake. While they ate pizza, Chuck E Cheese and friends put on a show.


Everyone had a blast!!!

Derek had to work the dayshift and then he needed to collect rent money at his practice space in Brockton, so we decided to stop by on our way home so the kids could make some noise.


They took turns between singing in the microphone and playing Derek's drums.


And then they both wanted to play the drums :) Derek taught them how to use the foot cymbals and bass drum this time, so it was extra noisy in there! I'll spare you and not post the videos this time...


They were beyond exhausted and we ended up having to leave when Silas threw a never-ending tantrum. That's what happens when you have a fun, overstimulating, no napping kind of Saturday!

    Musical band and his birthday fun are quite interesting. Got many inspirational ideas from my friend for my daughter's birthday party next week. Finalized one of the well known LA venues for a kids party. Also looking for some return gift ideas and chocolate wraps for children.

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!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...
