ENT, Homeschool co-op, and Devin's First Birthday Party!

Okay so going back to Monday February 23rd, that morning couldn't find anyone to watch my kiddos so we all headed up to McKay Dee hospital so I could go to my follow up with my ENT. And I finally got good news! My ear infections were completely gone! He said if I can go 6 or more months without getting another ear infection than I can avoid getting a tube put back in my ear, so that's what I'm hoping to do! Can I just say I LOVE the free valet parking at hospitals! It is such a lifesaver!! We came home and did school, and that afternoon was Elizabeth theater class where they worked on their dances. Tuesday was a typical day. Devin went to preschool but still wasn't happy about it. Wednesday was a typical school and Bravo day. Thursday morning we had our first day at our new homeschool co-op. I stayed with Devin in the "nursery class" where he did surprisingly well! He even made a friend named Cameron. Elizabeth is in a class called fun club and LOVED being with her friends and learning. After we stayed and had lunch, then Tisha and I had a little time to talk before she and the other two gals(and their older kids) had a meeting about a play their doing. I stayed in the nursery room with the rest of the kids, while they had endless fun together. Then we went to the Syracuse Community Center and played in their gym for a few hours since it was too cold and rainy to play at a park or outside at all. Then since that wasn't enough we(and some of Tisha's kids) went to Ashley's house and they played for about another hour! Then it was time to get home and get dinner. Friday we stayed home did school and just had a relax day. That night we went and got our taxes done, with a family friend of my parents. Their daughter and I grew up together and are still really good friends. Saturday we went to The Rush Family Fun Center and went bowling per Devin's birthday request, which was tons of fun! Both kids took turns winning a game. Then we went over to their super fun pool area and had fun in their for a couple hours. We picked up lunch on the way home and ate it while we watched Big Hero 6. Then we just kinda took it easy the rest of the day.  Sunday we did a little cleaning, and in the afternoon we went to Tony's parents' house for Devin's birthday party with his family. Grandpa made him the coolest Buzz birthday cake ever! It was a good party. We picked up some dinner on the way home. and had family movie night. That was the week.
