In the morning, Dave headed to work, while the kids got their weekend homework done. Peyton had to read, practice piano, and clean up before we watched the Royal Wedding. She couldn’t wait, so she got all of that done quickly. We snuggled up to watch from the beginning, as the guests were arriving. With almost each guest, she would ask me, “Who is that?” The only exception: Oprah. We watched almost the whole thing before it was time for lunch and her to get ready for her basketball game. We headed down to that after Dave got home from work.
Peyton was the tallest member of her team at tip off; H and the other taller 3rd grader were not in attendance. Peyton held it down for the tip off. There is strict defense for the first 3 quarters of the game. The other team is not allowed to defend before the three point line, and it is a warning if you do it once. The second time, it was a technical foul. Peyton was asked to shoot free throws, and by this time, we were scoreless. She got it close, but no cigar in two attempts. I think this was the first time she shot free throws without anyone rebounding or around the key. The game ended up a lot to too little, and that meant the season was over. We headed to dinner with the team, and hung out before going back closer to home to practice softball at the high school. Brandon had volleyball after, so he was with us, too. He started climbing the bleacher stairs on his own, so I went to join him for a workout. We timed each other, and he was faster than me by a few seconds. Soon, we moved back to the football field, and we started sprinting at 50 yards. He was at a disadvantage because he would giggle, thus causing me to giggle as well. Finally, I asked Dave to record us, and Peyton counted down, so it was official.
After we were done, we reviewed the recording, and Brandon asked, “Is this thing on slo motion?” Haha, nope, it’s just us. We’re slow. But I’m still faster than slow.
Maybe because I had an awesome cheer section:
Yeah, it was cold out there.

Dave dropped us off at home after dropping Brandon off at volleyball. After showering, Peyton stayed up to watch the ucla softball game until the boys returned home and both kids were sent to bed.
The next day, Peyton had her piano recital, but Brandon had baseball practice. Dave dropped him off first, while I got Peyton to the recital to warm up. She was reluctant to practice with anyone around but she did lightly touch the keys. She was toward the second half of the program, arranged somewhat by complexity of songs.
Here is her performance:
This is a piece from her level 5 book. I think I played this in middle school or 5th grade at the earliest. She didn’t think she could memorize 5 pages worth of music, but little by little, she got it together. She really wanted to learn it, and worked hard at it since late February, early March.
She also worked on her brownie patch for her family artifact presentation:
She did this in a few takes, and I did a little teleprompter action and held up her presentation, to look less like she read from her paper. She hadn’t practiced enough to memorize that, and we just needed to get it done.
