Skye Eats Cereal – Aidan is a Rock Star

Although the holiday weekend isn't over, I certainly feel like I've had my share of excitement. Saturday, we left for St. Pete in the morning to celebrate Riley's 2nd birthday party. We couldn't miss a Workman shindig. Of course, it poured all the way over… Then, at around noon, we left for a second birthday party in North Tampa. We couldn't miss that one either, because we wanted to check out the Silverstein's new crib. And, celebrating Daniel's birthday has become somewhat of a tradition. This year will mark the fourth party we've attended, and he's only five now. Oh, I should mention that Luke almost let Aidan drown in the pool. If it weren't for the YMCA lifeguard, who knows what would have happened. The poor kid did really good though until he started getting tired! He actually did swim all by himself for a while.

After the second birthday party, we rushed back home, packed Aidan up and took him over the grandparents' house for a sleepover. And, Luke and I deemed the evening a movie night and watched a Swedish vampire flick called Let the Right One In. Very interesting, indeed. We've decided we can consider ourselves cultured now and simply end it with that. I guess the Greek take-out kind of adds to that!

Sunday was monumental because we fed Skye food for the first time. All I can say is that it went so much better than with Aidan. Of course, Aidan didn't want anything to do with food and quite honestly still doesn't. Skye, on the other hand, was very pleased with the new fare even though she hasn't quite figured out what it means to swallow yet.

Also on Sunday, after picking up Aidan, we headed over to Chris and Heidi's for a pig roast. Once Luke heard they were roasting a pig, there wasn't anything that could keep us away. Fortunately, Aidan was feeling better, so we gave it a go. Needless to say, we had a great time and Luke actually ended up with two huge plates of food. As for Aidan and I, we stuck to fruit and cake… lol

Oh, Aidan spotted the Mathey's X-Box right away and wanted to play Rock Star. Now, that was entertainment. And, he did a few dances and made a few new friends as well. He's such a social little butterfly. As for Skye, she held her own for as long as she could. But, the noise and chaos finally got the best of her and we headed for home. She passed out promptly at 6pm, and we haven't heard anything from her since. A few minutes ago, Aidan heard me playing Super Mario Brothers on his DS and came out to ask me about it. Hopefully, he's finally asleep.

As for tomorrow, I'm not sure yet what the day will have in store for us. I'm sure more cereal for Skye will be involved and more video games for Aidan. We'll be happy to have Luke around on a weekday.
