Home

We rarely stay home on the weekends.  We usually get cabin fever, especially on a long weekend and make a trip somewhere.  But since there is not much snow in the mountains, we didn’t make the drive up.  And since we don’t have passes anymore, we didn’t make the drive down south.  So today, we just exchanged work out times, with me running in the morning, while tagging out Dave, who rode his bike in the middle of the day.  When I got back from running (8 miles!!), Dave was watching Tangled with the kids.  It was just at the duet part, which I love, so I stayed to watch before showering up.  Brandon then turned away, and was just watching me instead of the scene.  Then he turned back, and was wiping his eyes!  He cried in the theater, but now, he was crying again!!  I was trying not to laugh at him, because, really, there is nothing wrong with crying at movies!  Right, Dave?!  After I finished up, I went back downstairs, and Dave was telling us he wasn’t ready to go yet because it was too cold.  He was giving us many excuses why he couldn’t go riding.  Then, Brandon said, “Um, Daddy, the sun is out now!”  Haha…Dave looked at me, and honestly, Brandon beat me to the punch by a few seconds, as I had been thinking the same thing!  Dave took his cue and started getting himself ready.   After the movie was done, I turned it off, and started doing Brandon’s homework while keeping Peyton entertained with puzzles.  Soon, she just wanted to sit on my lap and have Brandon read to the both of us.  It’s good reading practice for her, too!  I fed them lunch, then put them both down for a nap.  Dave came home during naptime, though I don’t think Brandon ever slept.  He was quiet at least, so that’s all I can ask.
I forgot to mention after her haircut yesterday, while we were leaving the restaurant, Peyton said, “Hi!” to a younger guy walking in.  He looked like he worked there as he was bringing clothes in.  He didn’t hear her (because she barely whispered it), but she tried again, this time with a wave.  This is NOT Peyton at all.  I think something changed when we cut her hair, like what happens with Rapunzel!!  She still didn’t get his attention, and got embarrassed, and bit my knuckle on the hand that was holding hers.  I told her that was nice she was trying to say hello, but that he just didn’t hear him.  I had to tell Dave when we got in the car!!  She also seems a bit more feisty now that she’s gotten her hair cut.
Today, during dinner, she had some corn and broccoli.  When she finished, she said, “Can I have more corn?”  Dave told her we were out.  She said, “Okay, can I have some more cor, I mean, um, ah, (pointing to the broccoli), ahm, broccoli?”  Then, laughing, she said, “I cannot talk!”  Dave commented how “adult” she sounded when she said that.

I then told her that I’d forgotten that I’d put the princess sheets in the laundry, so she couldn’t have them back.  She went upstairs, then came down again, telling me, “I cannot get the sheets in the laundry.”  I told her to go back to her bed.  She said, “But I took the monkey ones off!”  At this time, I had to go inspect what exactly was going on.  The laundry room light was on, as was her room light.  The sheets were stripped off the bed, and the animals were all over the floor.  She’d even taken the pillow case off!  I quickly re-made the bed, took Daddy’s blanket away, to which she responded in tears, and haven’t heard from her again.
Tomorrow will be another day at home.  We’ll be getting ready for the week!

MJ

Seems like Peyton can’t go to sleep without her teddy bear, Michael Jordan (with the shirt, JP Morgan).  Last night, she waited for me to come into her room for her hug.  As I walked in, she said, “Shhhh…Michael Jordan’s sleeping.  See?”  I looked to what she pointed at, and it was her bear, spread eagle, face down.  I didn’t disrupt the bear.

Tonight, as I tucked her in, she was frantic and said, “Oh, where’s Michael Jordan?”  We looked A PPH attorney should be able to get over erectile dysfunction. generic sildenafil viagra Girls should not take this Oral drug, if they’re breastfeeding or tonysplate.com order cialis pregnant.

Haircuts!

Here is a before (taken early this morning) and after

She had this smile on while I was getting the camera function ready on my phone, and when I told her I wasn’t ready yet, she said, “Oh,” and took the smile off her face.  She was ready again when I told her I was all set.

We then drove for 100+ miles (Yes, Dave has already told me how crazy I am, but it is for sentimentality’s sake, being her first hair cut and by the first person who ever cut my hair).
Here are some pics taken along the way.  She went first so that Dave could take them all away.  She was nervous about it hurting because we were “cutting” her hair.  I showed her another lady getting her hair done, and told her it wouldn’t hurt.  She was propped up on a pedestal and put in front of the iPad and since she did fine.  She was chatting with me before, but as soon as she was in the seat, she clammed up.  Suzanne tried to talk to her, but I’d warned her that she would be that way.  She said, “No kidding about the jibber jabber.”  She tried talking to her, asking her questions, but got nothing.  But stillness.  So it was perfect!  

I was watching her while she was getting her hair cut, and she would check out herself in the mirror and fight back a smile.  I could tell this because I could see her dimple come out, even though she was trying to suck in her smile.  I think she really liked it!  We went out to lunch after, then headed home while listening to the niner game.  The kids were a little nutso in the car on the way back, so when we got home, the kids asked how much longer they had before bed.  We said it was almost bed time (it was 6pm).  At 7pm, we got them in bed, and they were not heard from again.  For Peyton, she is definitely banking sleep, as she slept already 1.5 hours in the car, on our way over, from about 10-1130am.  When we got home, she was a little cranky, and crying, but stopped to yawn, so we knew she wouldn’t complain.  Brandon never slept, which is why he went to bed without complaint either.  Dave went out to get some movies for us to catch up on!

Funny notes

I was having some problems with Brandon and his attitude earlier today, which was compounded after my mom came down to watch him while I went back to work.  This prompted me to leave the two of them downstairs and take Peyton up with me to reward her for her continued potty successes (Aladdin).  After about 15 minutes of us being alone, I think they couldn’t stand it.  Brandon knocked on my locked door and told me he had something to tell me.  I told him thank you but no thank you.  I wasn’t ready to talk.  Later, my mom tried to intervene and reiterated that Brandon had something to say, and that she was leaving.  I told her what I told him, and said good bye to her.  Dave was on his way home, so I was awaiting his arrival before having to deal with Brandon.  Peyton and I were practicing her handwriting and playing with stickers in her sticker book.  Suddenly, I received these under the door:

Haha…funny he can communicate by writing now!!  Maybe this is the way he is going to practice.  After more ignoring, this followed (his impatience is coming through now with the rude words):

Then, realizing he wasn’t getting anywhere, this…(note, the last word says, “Visitor” I believe)

And finally, by this time, Dave was home, and had also locked himself in with us.

Peyton was again an angel at this time.  Which is a good thing, otherwise, I would have put her on the other side of the door and drawn myself a nice, hot bath.  Serenity now!  Serenity now!

Hard Day

Today was a somber day for us.  Our neighbor, who we have lived across the street from for over 30 years, passed away of melanoma last week.  His memorial was this morning.  I dropped the kids off at school like any other day.  I’ve used the skin cancer as a lesson for Brandon.  He fights me to put sunscreen on his face daily.  My hands are too cold.  Even this morning he was whining about having to put it on.  I told him that if he didn’t want to put it on, then that was his choice.  But that I didn’t want Peyton to get cancer.  And that our neighbor had cancer and it went to his brain and he died.  I stopped talking.  Dave chimed in and said if you have cancer, the cure is to chop it off.  Peyton heard us and stayed still while I lathered her up in sunscreen.  She let me put it all over, not moving a muscle.  Brandon saw me ignoring him, and he put his spoon down, walked over to the pump on the counter, pumped some in his hand and lathered up.  If that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes.  Dave agreed to attend with me.  The memorial wasn’t until 10am, so Dave took the time to drop his car off for an oil change.  I picked him up and we went to breakfast.  We had to make it quick since we needed to head up.  We got there early, about 20 minutes.  My parents called asking me where we were.  They were waiting for us at home.  Knowing we were already down there, they left.  We walked across the street from the church to get some coffee for me.  Peyton woke up me at 3am saying that her bed was wet.  I got up and went to change things, but was tired as a result.  They were sampling coffee there, but it was too late as I’d already ordered a skinny mocha.  They even gave us a 1/2 bag of free coffee, and we took it, but really had nowhere to stash it.  Dave put it in his inside coat pocket.  So, we now had 10 minutes left, so I chugged the mocha and was rather warm inside.  We met up with the family, gave them our condolences (I grew up with the family’s son, playing outside most of our summers), and sat behind my parents.  My dad immediately asked, “Where were you guys?  Did you go to coffee?”  I chuckled and asked him how he knew.  He said, “Cuz you smell like it!”  Haha…I knew I’d need a mint, but Dave showed my parents his inside pocket, like half-flasher.  It provided the levity we needed.  Soon, the service started.  I had planned to return to work by 1230pm.  The service was only about an hour.  I’d planned for 2.  We were not planning on going to the burial site, so we left after saying our goodbyes.  My dad was going to work, and my mom was going to the site.  We headed back home, but made a detour to sample a cupcake being featured at our favorite cupcake shop.  This was definitely what I needed.  I did manage to wait though, having Dave take them back home when I dropped him back off at the dealership for his car.  I headed to work, and got there right at noon.  I finished work at around 530pm, and poor Peyton was the second to last kid there.  They were about to eat snack, since she was hungry.  I told the teacher normally we’re eating dinner by 530pm.  Poor thing.  We didn’t get home until after 6pm, and Dave was long gone with Brandon at swimming.  They got home, and Brandon was telling us about his not so good day.  He is playing too rough at recess, and is getting REDs as a result.  I told him to be on green by the time I get there for lunch.  If not, he will have to help me do yard duty.  He said, “Well, at recess tomorrow, I’m just going to do NOTHING.”  I told him, “Great!  I hope you stay out of trouble.”  He said, “NO, I am just going to sit there.”  Haha…he meant do nothing as absolutely just sit there, not nothing like he wouldn’t get in trouble.  We’ll see how things unfold tomorrow.
After the kids were in bed, which was right after 7pm, I took off to run.  Today was supposed to be a “HARD” day, meaning I was supposed to run 5 miles at a pace 30-60 seconds per mile faster than my normal pace.  Keeping in theme with it being a “hard” day, I stuck to my guns. I rested yesterday, so I felt okay today, so I started out with a faster pace for me.  Toward the end, I had set a goal to run less than a 10 minute mile average.  That meant kicking it up a bit at the end.  I took a picture for Dave:

I’m getting my hair cut this weekend.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.  We’re driving 100 miles one way to go to the lady who originally cut my hair in 6th grade.  She’s since moved away, and still cuts my mom’s hair.  I’m taking Peyton and we’re getting our haircuts.  I couldn’t do it without her, and I really want the legacy to continue.  The lady is about 50 and will be able to say she’s cut three generations of hair.  I told Peyton after school, and she was so excited!  Pictures to come.  I needed to do it this weekend, as I’m trying to cut it before the run at the end of the month.  And next week is Chinese new year dinner.  Phew.  Thanks for sticking to the end.

Cold mornings

These past few mornings have been pretty chilly.  In fact, down right freezing!  Brandon’s clothes are usually on his chair which is within arm’s reach of his bed.  Peyton’s clothes are on our floor since she comes into our room.  She’s now been closing our door quietly telling us “Because bruddah is still sleeping.”  She will come into the bathroom with us once we get up, and she brings her pile of clothes with her.  She proceeds to take off her diaper and pants, then dances around telling us This cialis generico online cerritosmedicalcenter.com arises only when the person makes love with their partner.

I’m really really naked!” We tell her to hurry and put her clothes on so she won’t be so cold, but she lags.  When I get to Brandon’s room to make sure he is awake, he’s under the covers, having pulled his clothes under there with him.  He’s got about 3 years on Peyton and has figured this out on his own that it’s warmer under the blankets.  Poor girl changes on the cold bathroom floor.  Burrr….

Teething; Feelings

We are all done with baby teeth up in here.  We’re on to the real deal.  Dave was flossing Brandon and came back to tell me that one of Brandon’s teeth were wiggly.  He’s often told us his teeth have been wiggly, but I’ve inspected, and never felt much wiggle.  Until today.  Eww…I told Brandon that it creeped me out and that I did not want to feel it anymore.  I did ask Brandon to make sure he kept the tooth so I could put it in my keepsake box along with his first lock of hair cut.  There is a little ceramic set that I have for both.  He immediately said, “NO, what about the tooth fairy?” I stammered, “Oh. Maybe I’ll have a talk with her to give us the first tooth back, after she leaves the money.”  Brandon then looked at me with big eyes and said, “Really?  She’ll DO that?”  I told him maybe if we asked nicely.  Phew…wasn’t expecting the tooth fairy talk.  I think this is now going to distract him at school as he will be constantly playing with it.

Brandon brought home a book on feelings.  Here is each page, with my writing to “translate”; I asked him what each picture represented, and wrote down what he said. I didn’t want to put words in his mouth.

The disease of addiction is complex, having viagra buy viagra genetic, psychological, physical and non secular elements.

Found out he likes the sharks and is afraid of spiders.  Love that the spider is in the thought bubble when he describes “terrified”.

Serious learning

Brandon and I have been doing some of his homework right before bed.  The assignment is to talk about MLK and his dream for world peace.  Brandon was to tell me what he wished for in order to have world peace.  His answer: No robbers.  I then took the opportunity to explain who MLK was and how he fought for people of color.  I had to make the distinction that he fought with his words, and not his hands.  I didn’t really want to talk about the different colors of people, but I used the example of how some people were not allowed to go into restaurants because of the color of their skin.  And how they had to only sit in the back of the bus.  Knowing he hasn’t been on many buses, I told him to imagine that we were only Moreover, dapoxetine women viagra found belongs to the category of medications called PDE-5, which works by improving blood flow into the penis.

Grammatically correct; Back to the routine; Air guitar

For all the funny syntax follies and poor grammar that the kids use, there is hope for them.  Peyton was concerned that she had ice cream at Auntie Bonnie’s birthday party and that we were headed home to sleep.  She said, “Oh, we need to brush my teeth well before I go to sleep.”  Grammatically correct and concerned about her dental hygiene.  Her future is looking bright!

Well, it took us a full week back to school, but we’ve gotten back to the swing of our usual routine.  Brandon woke up Saturday night (I think because he saw the light on downstairs well past midnight).  Peyton has now slept in her own bed two nights in a row, all night long.  It is now jarring when she gets us up and it really is time to get up.  I’m expecting it to be 3am but it’s actually 630am.  Ugh.  Can’t win really.  But it’s funny because she will ask, “Is it wake up time?”  I usually snooze for another 10 minutes after she comes in, so it’s a little snuggly time, depending on how awake she is.  She is usually quiet, as she is still getting up, too.  On one website I saw today, it said kids from 1-3 should be sleeping 12-14 hours per 24 hour period, while kids from 3-5 should be sleeping 11-13 hours.  Peyton is getting about 13 hours between sleeping overnight and her 1.5-2 hour nap at school, while Brandon is holding down about 11 hours.  I told Dave of this and his response is, “They’re finally getting the sleep that they need.”

Brandon got a blow up guitar as a gift at school.  He blew it up on his own in the backseat one day, then it made its way into the house, where Peyton found it.  She picked it up, and started rocking out to her own rendition of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies,” bobbing her head up and down, with her hair all in her face.  I wish my camera was up with me this morning.  Shucks.
