Pirate Party

Ahoy there matey's! Captain Aiden had his 4th birthday party at the house. He had a blast with his friends and family. His friends played in the backyard on the swingset, sandbox, and the bouncehouse borrowed by our wonderful neighbors. All of his friends then went to 9 different pirate themed centers. (Pirate tattoo's, toss the beanbag on the crocodile, rock stomping, pirate pictures, pirate stamps, diggiing for gold, cannon ball bowling, catch 4 ducks with a net, pin the eye patch on the pirate)! The kids had so much fun. Every center they went to they got a prize. Oh yeah, when they first arrived to the party the adult they came with was handed a treasure box with a map of the centers on it that they followed. Later the kids took turns hitting a treasure chest pinata! The festivities ended with pirate cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches.

Aiden's friends that came: Jimmy, Joon, Liam, Janya, Austin, Braeden, Brison, Brayden, Talon, Gavin, Olivia, Ellie, Sam P., Aubrey, Sam, Paxton and Haley.

Thank you to all of the center helpers: Mom, Dad, Sheryl, Phil, Nanny & Grampy, Keith & Ang, PJ!

March and April 2010

The months of March & April 2010 have been eventful to say the least. We have walked around Newburyport, went to visit a Maple Sugar Shack in Weare NH. Aiden's favorite part was eating the maple syrup sprayed cotton candy. The kid was wired for three whole days! Yes, he does have more energy than Todd. God help us all! Aiden enjoyed decorating Easter eggs, but had more fun hunting for them at Nanny and Grampy's. We have been playing outside more with the warm weather. He enjoys playing basketball and baseball. He loves his spiderman scooter and has finally learned to ride his bike with training wheels. It was all about the confidence.

He got a swingset for his birthday in which the "World's Best Construction Crew", assemblied in 1 day. Thank you again to Grampy Tim, Grampy David, Uncle Tony, and Todd.

Poor AO his tonsils are so enlarged that he needs to have emergency surgery to have them and his adnoids taking out. He is currently on a waiting list. His throat is so closed up that the opening in his throat is so small that they are concerned that he won't be able to breath or will choke when he eats.

On a lighter note, his pirate birthday party is coming up and he is looking forward to it!
