The boys are off this week.  Since my vacation request was denied, Stuart took Tue, Wed and Thu off to spend with them.  On Tuesday, Stuart took them to run some errands and to the grocery store to replace some items that we had to toss out after the power outage.  The boys were helpful while they were shopping.  They played ping pong on Wednesday.  When I came home that night, we played again.  The boys are getting quite good lately; they have some crazy killer hits.  On Thursday, Stuart did not tell me where he was taking the boys until I found out later from a picture.  They went to Frys where Stuart claimed that I never want to go; they seemed to enjoy shopping there together, and bought a few things home.  The boys got into a mood of cleaning up, so Stuart directed them to tidy up the house.  Connor told me that cleaning was the best part of the day.  At dinner, we all met up for a quick meal at Blaze with Kathy and Ian.  The boys just loved talking with their Big Ian.

     For a good part of each day that the three of them spent together, they played a new board game we recently purchased, Small World.  Logan and Connor both reported that it is currently their favorite board game, and even Stuart had a good time battling them.  Logan seems more interested in using the special powers while Connor focuses on the big picture and has won the most times our of all of us.
