Celebrating the end of my Sitting Month

After writing all the things that I did for the past month, I want to share with you what I did these past few days to celebrate!!

On Saturday, we went out the door at 12 noon. We were going to leave earlier, but since it was our first time going out with Adrian, we had to make sure we brought everything we needed with us. We first went to Toys R Us and got Cassandra Leap Frog's toys. Her early birthday present since there was a sale. We then went to Babies R Us and got some necessities for Adrian. After that, it was already 3pm. We started driving down south to Chestnut Hill area to The Melting Pot for dinner. When we got there at 4pm, we strolled around the town on Germantown Avenue and went in to the restaurant at 5:30pm. After we finished our dinner at 8pm, we decided to hit to Target after we got back to Lehigh Valley. By the time we got home, it was exactly at 10pm. What did Adrian do the whole day? Guess because it was his first time out and that he had really enjoyed the car's movement, he slept the whole time! Yeap, he slept all day...which means, he slept very little that night.

On Sunday, with only 3 hours of sleep, we got up at 8:30am and started to get ready to leave to go to NJ and NY. We went to Buy Buy Baby first and returned some merchandise and bought some clothing for Adrian. We then went to Mitsuwa for lunch and met up with Monica, Jeff, Steve and my mom. We also bumped into my mom's friends, Paula and James. They were all over Adrian during lunch! After that, we drove to Flushing to the salon. I had my facial appointment and Steven had his haircut appointment. When we left the salon, it was almost 7pm and we walked to the restaurant where we were meeting our friends. It was a shabu shabu restaurant with Taiwnese ice as dessert. There were total 16 of us. I had a great time catching up with friends and was especially glad to see Johnny and Helene whose wedding we missed 2 weeks before.

On Monday, after picking up Cassandra from her school, we went to Lehigh Valley Mall to do more shopping and drove over to Hellertown to this buffet restaurant that my mom's group recommended. The food was good. It wasn't gourmet, but pretty delicious. The best part is it was cheap. $6 per person only on Mondays and Tuesdays and kids under 5 are free! We went with Tiffany, her mom, and Michael. With the kids free, we only paid $30 for all 5 adults! Can't beat that!

On Tuesday, we drove down south to Assi for grocery shopping after picked up Cassandra from her school. And, we went to the Korean BBQ restaurant right next to the supermarket for the first time. I guess because there are not that much competition, there weren't many side dishes, but the meat was pretty good. We had a nice dinner. It was good enough to kill our craving for Korean BBQ.

Today, we finally rest. We had dinner at home. Steven finally got to cook 'real and normal' food! I took Cassandra to The Little Gym in the morning and to her dance class in the afternoon. It was the first time I got behind the wheel since Adrian was born. He was home with his daddy. It felt good to spend time alone with Cassandra to her classes, just like the old days. From next week and on, after Steven gets back to work, both Cassandra and I will have to start to live our new life with Adrian!
