The weekend was the same amount of time, but the activities were aplenty. We started Friday night with practice for Peyton. On Saturday, we started at 8 am with Peyton’s city league game. Ryan came to pick us up, and we expected a whole vanful of girls, however H was sick. She was sick for Friday night’s practice, and they wanted to keep her healthy for next weekend. She was feeling well, changed her clothes, got her hair done, then sniffled, and that was the dagger that kept her home. She was crying as her dad left the house. So sad! Peyton played minimal time for Saturday’s game, but she did manage to score. It wasn’t the same without her “partner in crime”. From that game, we headed straight up to the city. Poor Brandon had his first baseball game, in the first tourney of the season. His game wasn’t until 245 pm, and Peyton’s games were at 11 am and 1 pm. We had another family pick him up from home. They originally were going to pick him up at 115 pm, so he could make it just to one hour before the game for warm ups, but they realized their second son had a basketball game around 12 pm. So, they picked Brandon up at 1115 am (he was updating me by text), took him to get lunch (which we’d given him money for), and then the two boys hung out at their house, playing with nerf guns. Peyton’s game was tough in the City. It was a team that they’d played and beaten before, however at this weekend’s game, Peyton’s team had 6 kids, while the other team had 12 kids! They had fresh substitutions with each break. Well, it was a sad game, and this time the score was being kept by the scorekeeper. I think it was 22-5, and Peyton scored with 1:50 to play. Oof.
We had a one hour break. We had spam musubis for snack, and enjoyed some outside time. It wasn’t as warm as the previous week, but it was still pleasant out. I chatted with my pharmacy school classmate, whose husband went to high school with one of our team’s dads. Small world. The second game was much better. Peyton’s teammate scored the first 4 baskets! There was lots of clean passing and more scoring involved. They ended up pulling out the victory with 22-14.

After the games, we went to get some pork buns, which were hot at the time, then we headed back home. Peyton and I took a nap on the way back down. When we got home, we quickly changed, grabbed warm clothes, and headed off to Brandon’s game. We got there in the 5th inning, and it wrapped up within 20 minutes. The team lost, but some of the teammates went to a local restaurant to hang out in the 2 hour break that they had.
The sun went down for the second game, and luckily, the game was attached to the clubhouse. We watched the first half from inside. Then, Dave was outside, telling us to come out. Peyton was doing homework, which another dad had noticed at dinner and commented, “Is she doing homework?” (She had a laptop and her Native American project notes.) I told him that she was too busy during the week to get this done, so she had to get it done over the weekend. He admired her for her hard work, especially on a Saturday. What he didn’t know was that this third grader has more homework than her sixth grade brother. She finished up Saturday’s work and was able to watch from the grandstands.

Here is the hit we saw from up high.
My mom was able to watch the game from the camera that was broadcasting the game. The team was up 11-3, but somehow squandered the lead in an unfortunate 2 out rally. Time ran out, and the game was called when the final run came in, for the other team to go up 11-12. Darn. But that meant that the team would play again at 245 pm.
The kids got to bed by almost 10 pm, and up by 7 am to do it all over again. Peyton went to softball practice at 9 am. We all went, but in two cars, since Dave had to leave to take Brandon to his basketball game, in SF, by 1230 pm. Peyton practiced from 9 to 1130 am, while Dave left around 11 am. We finished up with practice, and she went home to practice piano and eat lunch, as she had her piano performance party from 1-3 pm. Brandon had his baseball game at 245 pm, and he arrived with 15 minutes to spare, since he was coming from SF. Sheesh, these kids. Peyton’s coach told me she’s not allowed to miss practice anymore, as “it’s better when she’s here.” I didn’t know what that meant, but I guess it’s a compliment. And that she needs to know these things that they are teaching her.
I dropped her off at piano, and I went to get my steps in. I walked around the middle school, and it started to get cold just before I needed to leave to get her. They were done with their playing and enjoying snacks. We left from there to get to Brandon’s game. It was super cold, and even after bundling up with the blanket that now lives in my car, we were freezing. We had both our hoods up and tied tightly, under the blanket, with Peyton on my lap, and it was still cold. “Luckily” the team was put out of their misery with a mercy-rule 15-0 loss after less than an hour. We headed to all you can eat Korean food after that, and both kids ate their share! Brandon enjoyed the squid and wanted to order a second plate (which we did). Peyton was happy to eat it as well, and even had some spicier meat since it was so tasty, and she was so hungry. We wrapped up the evening with some Olympics before the kids went to bed. Another weekend in the books!
so far from the boy!
