We started the weekend by checking out the San Jose state library on Saturday morning.  The children area was quite large, and it was quiet.  Stuart was able to search for some books while Logan and I did some reading together.  Connor enjoyed walking around the area with daddy keeping an eye on him.  We made it home in time for Ted and Marcus’s quick visit.  We hung out for a bit, then Stuart had to part with the 2 beta fish that he was babysitting for the Kaos. By noontime, Connor and I both took off to go to Penelope’s 1st birthday party.  We parked at the Tsaos which was just a few houses down from the party.  Brandon and Peyton were giving me a tour to their house while Connor tried to catch a few more minutes of his power nap.  This was the first time Peyton ever talked to me directly; she told me many little things of the house and what she likes.  I felt so honored.  We all had a good time at the party.  Connor and I both ate quite a bit; he had a lot of the veggies and grapes while I enjoyed the roasted pork and many other delicious foods.  Connor finally warmed up to everyone, and had fun playing with Peyton and the balloons there.

     Today we hosted a get together for the “Mommy and Me” group.  I prepared some brunch items and the guests also brought some foods.  Logan and Connor both were very good in sharing their toys with everyone; no complaints from them at all.  Logan played toys with the guests and even some hide and seek.  Everyone left after 2.5 hours of playing, we then rushed the kids to bed for a nap.  As soon as they were up, we headed out to the Hashiguchi’s for their Superbowl party.  There were so much food that we started eating shortly after we arrived.  Logan only wanted breads and a hotdog while Connor had chow mein, egg roll, corn, carrots and strawberries.  I also had a good share of sashimi and sushi rolls.  The boys enjoyed their time playing with many different things in the house, and we discovered that Connor really liked playing with toy dishes.  We hung out a bit longer after the game was over, and we went home to prepare for the night and next school day.

       Our eating has been out of control lately, and we have decided that I need to return to the gym.  Stuart volunteered to pick up the kids and hang out with them while I return to my favorite aerobic class on Mondays after work.  It has been at least two and a half years since I went to that class.  Hope I will survive tomorrow.
