Yesterday was a long day. I started by not knowing that I had Dave around. I planned to take the kids with me to get donut holes (20 dozen of them for the volunteers!). He said he’d be around, so he went to go get donuts while I got the kids ready in their costumes. I met Dave at school in line to see the parade. It was raining, so the route was through the multi and around one loop. There was a path for the parents, and we were on the inside track just outside the multi. The whole school can’t fit all at once, so we had the older kids come through first, then the younger kids. Both were a bit disappointed not being able to see the opposite group of kids, but they did fine. I dropped Peyton off at her class, since it was actively raining. She wanted to line up as usual and was happy to have been first. Before she realized no one was lining up. I waited until H arrived to take a twinsies picture before going to Dave.
We spent the next hour or so just hanging around before the kids all went back to class and set up for the fall festival began. I was in charge of delegating and checking in volunteers. I did some set up as well, and after the rain stopped, I squeegeed the ground to get rid of big puddles. I got to see Peyton at recess, as the kids were let out to run around outside of the set up area. Lunch was eaten in the classrooms since the multi was being used for the festival. Soon, it was 1245 pm, and the kids were released. Both kids knew how to find me, as I was at the volunteer station. But somehow they would know anyways, since I held their tickets. Dave was manning the grill, supervising and grilling meat himself. So, the kids were on their own, going around with their friends. They would check in and out with me, and I asked them to line up with Dave for the second magic show. I snuck in to watch with them, and ended up being pulled up “on stage”. He asked for my ring (same guy Dave has invited to two holiday parties). He did a trick which ended up being attached to his wallet key ring. As I was being pulled up, I heard whispers in the crowd (“That’s Peyton’s mom”). They later said both of them told their respective friends “That’s our mom.” Embarrassing! Luckily, he did give it back 🙂
After the magic show, we had about 15 more minutes remaining, then it was clean up time. We helped clean up a bit, then it was time to get going, since Peyton had basketball practice. We came home, had her change, then took them out to feed them Greek food. We made it to practice early, and they got to shoot around a bit. We had a new parent orientation meeting, so Brandon hung out with G. The meeting lasted about 45 minutes before we came back inside. Brandon and G were out in the back playing two square, while their dad was helping out the girls. They had to get to G’s practice, so they left a bit early. Brandon came back in and said they were talking to some middle school kids who go to the school on that campus. They were telling them all about their campus, so much so that Brandon said he should transfer there! After we were done, we headed to dessert nearby and ran into another teammate of Peyton’s who’d just left practice, too. After that, Peyton needed to practice piano so as not to break her streak. It was about 9 pm, but we couldn’t miss a day or she’d have to start all over again. She’s motivated enough to keep the streak alive, so we got it done.

This morning, we practiced again, and then it was Brandon’s turn. We had a lazy Saturday until the Halloween party for Peyton’s basketball league. We went after eating at home, and there were snacks there. There were also carnival games, a raffle, and crafts. They took part in it all, following each other around. Peyton did leave Brandon’s side when she saw some of her friends/teammates. After the games were done, they turned their tickets in for prizes. Dave bought 6 raffle tickets for $5, and we waited for the raffle. They drew one ticket to be saved for the grand prize, then proceeded to pick numbers for the rest of the 20 or so prizes. We were disappointed with our luck, with the kids trying to see who would go up if we won. Finally, it was the grand prize time, an iPad mini! There were a few series of tickets, with different colors. Luckily, our ticket color was selected. The emcee read off the first 5 numbers, all of which matched our ticket! He had a small drumroll before calling out the last number – 8. Dave had the ticket! He popped up and collected our prize. Since we’re new to the organization, I’m sure no one knew who we were, just a few friends from school, softball, and our team. We sheepishly collected the gift, while Brandon was loudly celebrating like it was going to be HIS ipad. It was a great way to end our day 🙂
