I'm a bit behind and it's not even my fault. My computer - well the internet really - has been so slow and I'm not sure what's going on. We're trying to figure out what to do. We've been down-sizing monthly bills, not adding to them, so I'm reluctant to search for another company, but I think it's been long enough ago since we got this good deal on phone and internet that our upload speed is not where it should be. Plus, supposedly there's actually a problem with our phone line and of course nobody (including me) wants to fix it. So I've been frustrated and decided the time it takes to do all this was just not worth it. Today is a medium speed day so I'm going to attempt to catch up a couple things. Here we go!
I'm not really a big fan of Chuck E Cheese. It's loud, impersonal and makes me a little crazy trying to keep track of my bag, the kids, food, drinks, my camera - you name it. And call me crazy, but I think it's a little too much like gambling. Kids put coin after coin in hoping to win tickets for the cheapest prizes ever. We have tried to teach our kids that you get a few coins for machines and then you're done - not the never-ending supply of playing fun, but it's not easy to find the balance. In general, we don't frequent places like Chuck E Cheese...but Anthony's 4th birthday party was at Chuck E Cheese this year and the kids loved it. Preston was a bit nervous about a giant mouse that talked and pretty much couldn't take his eyes off him the whole time. Anthony, Dylan and some other friends had a blast dancing in front of the screen and seeing themselves on TV. Here are some pictures from the party.
Riding a roller-coaster simulator machine - Preston was intrigued and then decided he was done halfway through the ride. Dylan was so nervous when I unbuckled the seatbelt before the ride ended. I guess that's one rule he's got down pretty well.
Dylan taking the bike flier thing up in the air.
Preston not at all impressed with this car. Putting coins in the games and pulling tickets off was his favorite part.
Anthony asked Dylan to help him open his gifts - so cute!
This is Anthony's excited face when he opened the walkie talkies from my kids.

He hasn't quite figured out the underhand throw yet

I so agree with you on places like Chuck E Cheese's. I think they are horrible and I think that if I have any say the one time he went might be his only.
