The Merons invited everyone over on Saturday for barbeque.  Prior to this Logan had another 2-hour tennis lesson, and as soon as the lesson was over, we headed over to their house.  The boys had brought their Tablets and they joined Rohan and other kids to play games.  Later, Guy put Sing on TV, but only Connor and Raz were interested to watch, and I had periodically sat with Connor since I really liked the movie too.  The adults mainly just sat around the dining room, chatting, eating, having desserts and drinks as it was too cold to be outdoor.  Since Bar’s birthday was a day before, we also had a little celebration for her and had some birthday cake.  After eating, the kids went out to the backyard to play tags.  It was cold out there, but none of them seemed to mind.  Later the whole group came back in and all returned to the electronics.  Few hours of gathering, we had to say goodbye so we could go to Color Me Mine to pick up the ceramics before we headed home for a late dinner and late night.

    On Sunday it was Marcus’s birthday party.  We were the first one to arrive and the boys had the opportunity to join Marcus to start the gaming in the video game truck.  The rest of the guests arrived shortly and joined in the games.  Logan started out playing the Xbox inside the truck; later he moved out to play Wii Smash Bro with the other boys, but somehow he found the Wii remote console and he moved back inside the truck while he continued to battle the other four players who were standing outside.  Mckayla had chosen to be Lego Harry Potter and Connor decided to join her.  The two of them were not as familiar with the game, so I heard later that Logan was giving them advice while he was still playing Smash Bro.  The three of them basically remained inside the truck while the rest of the kids playing outside in the cold, but of course no one minded the temperature at all.  Since the kids were occupied, Stuart and I joined Michelle and a couple of parents inside the house instead.  By 12pm, the truck was leaving and the kids all came inside to enjoy the pizza lunch and later some cake after we sang Happy Birthday to Marcus.  By then it was no longer raining and was actually quite sunny, all the kids went to the backyard to play a little.  The boys had returned to the house to play with Lego and we hung out a bit longer, then we thanked Michelle and Ted and headed home to finish our chores for the week.
