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!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
