Kicked off the weekend with dinner at Sergio’s. Really good service, but they burned Calie’s spaghetti. So we got it taken off our bill plus free dessert. They also didn’t charge me for the extra side salad. Ironically, the Groupon I had was for $50 so they had to tack the dessert back on to hit $50. Got in a 12-mile jog Saturday morning … I’m not convinced these distances are good for me. 2 to 6 miles seems like a nice distance … when I run the 8+ routes, it’s not just muscle soreness (good pain) but my foot hurts. As I side note, my feet seem bigger. I’m not fitting into my work shoes. I did some quick Internet searching, and all I could come up with was discouraging news … your feet get bigger when you gain weight and age. Sigh!
After her dance lesson, I took Calie to Nicole’s birthday party. The kids played games, decorated masks, and had lunch. Dessert was a ‘necklace’ made with cupcakes. Very clever!
If high-pitched loudness is a measure of fun, I’d say the party was a success. Happy 6th Birthday Nicole!
In the afternoon, I took Zachary to Chinmay’s birthday party at a monster themed mini golf place. Happy 9th Birthday Chinmay!
We got home in time for dinner at Bev’s house … homemade salt/pepper crab, slow cooked beef, fried rice, and store-bought orange chicken. For dessert, I brought a fruit basket cake from Nugget … I was happily surprised that they carried Ettore’s cakes! Yum. I got to meet Bev’s younger sister Kathy from San Francisco – super pretty and put together, while I looked especially disheveled from the back-to-back birthday parties. Not to mention the limp from my morning run. You can always count on me to make a good first impression!
Sunday. After geocaching a few times now, we decided the take the next step. Make a geocache of our own! We took empty containers and wrapped them in brown duct tape. Then some kids pasted on bark that James peeled off our stash of camping firewood. Later, we need to find good hiding locations and register our caches online.
Until then … we walked around town and found more 5 geocaches. The weather was great, and we were out for a few hours … got back home just as it was getting dark. For dinner we had steamed dim sum and Udon noodles.
As a side note, my kids have an uncanny ability to outgrow clothes mid-season. Calie’s 4T tops are looking cropped, and Zach’s wearing flood pants. I did some productive shopping … new clothes, water sandals, hiking boots. In addition to replacing outgrown outfits, we’re getting ready for spring break, summer vacation, and all the activities that come with sunny (okay, HOT) weather!

Fatou,
“Measure of fun” or not, usually I turn down the volume when there’s too much “high-pitched loudness.” Some of you guys know exactly what I’m talking about.
