Engagement Festivities; Play Date

This morning, I headed out with Nela to attend Theresa and Martin’s engagement ceremony at Theresa’s house.  I was worried about it being cold, so I wore pants.  When we got there, I was sorely under-dressed, though I was wearing business casual.  Most of our other coworkers were wearing dresses, and some were even in traditional Vietnamese dresses.  I found a spot next to Bonnie, and I tried to stay out of the way, as it seemed everyone else knew exactly what they needed to do.  The girls were all very pretty, and color-coordinated!    Though under-dressed, it appeared that I successfully color-coordinated myself with the bride!  After the event at Theresa’s, we went to Bonnie and Stuart’s to hang out a bit.  Connor was very welcoming, wanting to come over and play!  He’d come over, tap my knee, then run back to Mommy.  I was trying to tickle him a bit before he had a chance to run away.  Logan was showing us the toys he’d received from Christmas!  Even Scottie came out to say hello on his way outside.  We left after about 30 minutes, and headed to the restaurant.  Upon arriving, Theresa, by the front, told me that Dave was asking for my whereabouts.  I found him placed at our table, with a kid on either side.  Both were entertained by a toy/game, but we managed to steal them away for a second to take a photo.  Logan sat next to Brandon, and they were showing each other their toys/games.  Here’s a photo or two of them:  After a yummy lunch, we headed back home to go to our playdate that I’d arranged.  Dave always tells me I over-schedule, but I didn’t want to decline the request, since it was a double date for both kids.  But the problem was both kids were asleep in the car.  Since our friends only live a short drive down the street, we loaded our bikes up and let the kids sleep a little longer. Brandon woke up when the car stopped, but Peyton was out.  Brandon changed his clothes as requested, and I grabbed some clothes for Peyton.  After 15 minutes, I woke her up, and she was cranky.  I managed to get her to go potty, changed her clothes, and soon enough, she was awake.  We headed over to Nico and Kavya’s and as soon as Brandon got in the door, Nico asked if he wanted to go play in his room. They took off.  Peyton and Kavya both needed some warm up time, despite both being excited about the date.  The two kids share a room, so soon enough, all 4 kids were in the room.  Nico has Nerf guns, and Brandon was immediately drawn to the rapid fire gun.  It is battery-powered, and sprays bullets.  I was telling Craig and Krishna that my worst fear was Peyton getting one in the eye, as Brandon had when he was 3.  Craig and I went to check on the kids, and Nico had the mega-gun and let them fly at Peyton at point blank range.  She just stood there stunned, as I was, while Craig was telling Nico to stop.  My only reaction was to put my hand over Peyton’s eyes.  She didn’t get hurt, but that signaled Craig to confiscate the gun.  The kids did well, then stopped for a break to eat the pastries we’d brought.  Then, they started watching an episode of one of the cartoons that we generally don’t watch (Peyton even said, “This isn’t appropriate for us”).  We had the kids help clean up the room a bit, then we decided it was time for dinner.  We headed out for one last demonstration for some nostalgia toys Santa had brought the kids.  Peyton was running on the lawn, and tripped.  Luckily, she put her hands down and caught herself, but she was laid out in the middle of the sidewalk.  She did not hit her mouth, our primary concern these days. But some types viagra cheap uk http://robertrobb.com/lessons-for-the-u-s-from-the-tragedy-of-muhammad-morsi/ of pains are hard to bear that’s why we go to a doctor. But you need to take some precautionary measures when you discount viagra from canada for treating your impotency problem.

Well, it may not be drastic issue, but viagra pfizer prix worrying for a relationship. So error-prone!  We thanked our hosts, and Brandon was already asking when Nico can come over to play at our house.  We will definitely have them over, since the kids have known each other for 3 years now (almost half their lives!).   Despite eating some snacks, both kids ate dinner well, and neither complained when it was time to go to sleep. They know tomorrow we have a day of travel.  Congrats again to Theresa and Martin!
