After two slightly frustrating days getting the grass in the backyard, it was finally completed by Friday.  The transaction closed out on Saturday morning after the guy dropped by.  Stuart and I still have some work to do, but for now, it is nice to have grass instead of dirt in the yard.

    After having a late start on Saturday, we decided to take a stroll at Happy Hollow.  Nowadays the boys only have a couple of interests in the park, with the huge structure being their favorite.  They played there for awhile as usual.  Connor was interested in riding the cop car this time, and he was quite patient while we waited in line.  We then went to see the puppet show per Logan’s request.  They both were focused at the show especially Connor; he did not take his eyes off the stage the entire time.  We ate lunch, then walked around the zoo and played at the sand area before returning home for a good nap.

   This morning we took our bikes out to encourage the boys to get on them.  Logan was still a bit fearful and lazy, but he managed to peddle a few rounds on his own while we pushed him down the road. We were at least making some baby steps finally.  Connor was not very adventurous either; he did push himself on the scooter a few steps, but preferred to sit on the bike or stand on the scooter while I pushed him.  We took an early nap as Logan had a party to attend at Pump It Up Jr at 2pm.  Stuart took off with Logan while Connor and I continued napping.  I decided to take Connor to the mall for a quick errand before going to the “Crab Night”.  Connor and I enjoyed walking around in the crowd; I did some shopping, returning an item, and brought the boys a water bottle each.  Connor had fun holding the water bottles for me while we were in line. 

   We showed up to Thuy’s house right at the start of the party.  Connor took a little bit of time before warming up, then started playing with the toys.  After everyone arrived, we were able to dive in to the feast.  Connor was not hungry as he had a huge banana, so he was just wandering around me.  Kimthy volunteered to take him out to the yard to let me focus on eating.  After quite a bit of yummy crabs, I switched off with Kimthy.  Connor had fun pushing around a toy wheel barrel for a long time; we also looked at the fish and played with other toys.  We finally migrated back inside the house; Connor sat at the kid table to have an egg roll while I had some more crabs that Michelle saved for me.  Connor had a good time hanging out and playing with Tina, Michelle and Christine.  Connor said goodbyes to everyone, then we went home just in time to have bath time with Logan.

    According to Stuart, Logan had fun playing at the jumpy houses, but did not participate at the group activities as usual.  He also got a bit upset when the playtime was over.  When they returned home, they spent a long time in the yard playing with Caleb and on their own too.  Logan take some golf swings which he had not done for a long time.  They seemed to have a good time together as Connor and I had together too.
