I have been under the weather for the past few days; fortunately we did not have any major plans during this off school week.  The boys are enjoying having more free time at home as well.  We just did some random things here and there.

    On President’s Day Monday Vrinda and Rohan came over to try the new brunch place by our house with us; the boys ate and played together at the restaurant.  Afterward Rohan stayed to play for the boys for awhile.  Another day Lisa and I attempted to coordinate to take the boys out for a short hike, but at the end, we only managed to get the boys on their schoolers and headed to school.  Lisa and I continued to walk around the playground while they played by the structure.

    I took the boys to their martial arts classes this week and I could see all the moves they have been learning.  The testing week is next week, and now at their sophomore level, new belt is not guaranteed.  Hope they will do ok next week.

   The boys also had another tennis lesson with the coach; despite not feeling too well, Stuart and I played 1/2 hour together.  I also had a chance to watch the boys practice.  The coach is demanding on their postures and the boys did their best to do what he asked.

    On Wednesday and Thursday, I had to work.  The boys were on their own on Wednesday while Stuart worked, and Stuart could finally spend some time with them on Thursday.  They went to some stores and did some errand, and enjoyed a lunch of the boys’ choice too.

   The boys and I decided to watch a movie on Friday and they chose to watch Lego Movie 2.  We love the new seating in our local theaters; I almost caught a nice nap during the movie.  In the evening Stuart and I decided to put on an old classic Oliver to watch at home.  Despite the songs were long, the boys liked the movie.  Now they enjoyed humming some of the catchy songs from the movie.
