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!

  1. 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!

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 ...
