Geography, Day

pWhile we were driving yesterday, Brandon was pretending to drive in the backseat with his beyblade.stadium, telling Peyton they were going to look for bad guys. Peyton asked him where they were going, and he replied, “Oakland.” Dave thought it was funny that Brandon thinks there are bad guys in Oakland. br
We interchanged play with work yesterday on the drive down, making the most if the sunlight. I printed off some 2nd grader worksheets, but we’re not sure what standards they are using, as Brandon is able to do many of them. Some are harder concepts, such as “Who’s vs. whose,” so I’ll wait, but others, like homophones and synonyms, I figured I could introduce or have him practice. Dave didn’t know how Brandon was supposed to know the difference between “beats vs beets”, but he knew others like “eight vs ate”, “son vs sun” and “won vs one”. I was proud of him.  We stopped for dinner, then got in around 8pm. The kids stayed up a little, then bathed and tried to go to sleep. The combination of not bring able to run around, being excited, and being not in their own beds led then to roll around for over an hour, and not fall asleep until after 10. They took turns waking each other up, as Brandon wouldn’t fall asleep, then Peyton woke up thirsty. They both got up at their usual time of before 7. We ate a quick breakfast, then headed off to the park. Not to go in, but to see about buying season passes, which are going up. This is the second time this year where we’ve gotten that close yet did not enter the park. Dave had run ahead while I talked behind with two walking kids through Downtown. Poor Peyton was doing her best, jogging along, while trying to talk breathlessly to us. After his walk a thon fear, I told Brandon he’s now graduated to walking status. He agreed! So we met up with Dave, then we headed back to the car, as he’s gotten his answer. We headed further south and urged the kids to sleep. Peyton took us up on it, her tired body not giving her a chance, while Brandon fought every step of the way. He was too busy looking out the windows. I took a nap, and later he told me there were army trainings going on. We checked in, and then touched base with Meg and Jeff. We all met up at the pool, and spent some time in the heated pool. It was perfect. Abby was showing Brandon all her different strokes, while pushing Brandon to show her his.

Looks like he just needed some motivation!  Abby was very encouraging to Brandon, and they played well together. Peyton swam mostly with me, but she wanted to do what the big kids were doing. When they did head bobs, she was not to be outdone. She was able to hold her breath for a quick 10 count. We started for 5, then 7 and finally 10. She kept telling me how she’s going swimming this summer “by my own self” at her lessons.  She held her breath longer than Brandon, who is usually too giggly to go too long. She and Abby about tied! Latter she wanted to jump into the pool like Penelope, but I’m always afraid she will jump backward and hit her head. We got out after about an hour. I can’t remember a time I’ve been in such pleasant water! It took no time to get used to it, and it was much harder getting out. We bathed and headed back down for lunch. The kids did done worksheets, while we waited for food to arrive. We could tell the pool had done its job to wear them out. I brought them back to.the room while Dave settled up the bill and drank the rest of my complementary margarita. I’d only gotten through half. I’d drawn the blackout curtains, and it was pitch dark. Both continued to roll around, even after I out soothing music. Finally Dave came back, laid down with Brandon, then he went out first. I could hear his breathing change,with a faint snore. Dave soon was breathing a bit deeper. I knew I needed to get Peyton down fast before she woke up Brandon, but because she’d already slept earlier I didn’t know how likely it was going to be. I started combing her hair in my fingers, and after about 5 minutes, she was down for the count. I tried to sleep, but we’d had coffee earlier. The amount of alcohol I had was but enough to counteract that, so here I am blogging. Looking forward to spending time at the wedding and with the cousins. Brandon had asked if we’d be seeing Abby again. We said we would. Hopefully we’re at the same table!/p
