Today, I woke up, got myself ready, and was out the door by 645am. I started work by 7am to make sure I could make it to Brandon’s kindergarten promotion ceremony. Dave was already there, since he’d stayed home to take the kids to their respective schools. He helped set up some canopies for the picnic we’d have later, and also brought our lunch! We went into their classroom, and the chairs were all arranged for us to sit. I sat on the end, and was able to take some video. Dave stood unobstructed, until some mom decided to cut in front of him. What’s worse, is she had an unruly kid, who was deliberately making faces into my video before I glared at him and firmly told him to stop. If she’s not going to do something about her kid, then I would. The kids sang “What a Wonderful World” and held up cards highlighting some of the words to the song. Each child had a card, and for the most part, knew when it was his or her turn. Brandon had a colorful pinwheel, and held it up when it said, “The colors of the rainbow”. He told me this evening that was his part. He’d heard the song on the radio a few weeks back, and told us not to listen since this was the song he was singing for their surprise. I told him he didn’t have to TELL us that that was the special song! After the song, the teacher presented each child with a kindergarten certificate. It was definitely short and sweet, and the kids all did a great job. Next came the parents and children’s present to the teacher. Each child made a scrapbook page that was then collated into a book for the teacher. We headed out to the field area, where the carnival games were. We ate lunch first (Ike’s sandwiches for us!). We only had four small napkins, but the sandwiches were so saucy, we needed a ton more! We didn’t really get to interact with many of the other parents, because all were too busy watching kids and eating. There was definitely a congregation of some families – we were close to the Korean contingent. What they were eating definitely looked good! We actually happened to see some of Brandon’s t-ball teammates, so that was nice. After we scarfed down lunch, we packed up our blanket to head out. Poor Brandon was to stay there without a parent. I lubed him up with some sunblock, and gave him his bottle of water. I had reservations about just having him carry his bottle. Initially, we’d given him his lunchbox, but I didn’t want him to lose that either. We took the backpack, since it was too much of a swinging hazard with all the kids around. In the end, I told the teacher we were both leaving, and then Brandon was on his own. It seemed like most of the other parents were staying. I headed back to work, while Dave went up his way. His plan was to work late tonight, to make up his missed time.
I picked both kids up and headed home to feed them dinner. Brandon told me his water bottle was in the next room, and I was so happy that he had it. I even told him it was so great that he kept an eye on his stuff, and that he was being responsible for his own things. He said, “Did you take my backpack? Because I was so worried about it.” I reassured him that Daddy had it. So we ate, bathed, and read our books by 7pm. Brandon told me all about the carnival, with the water balloon toss, and how you are only supposed to throw it from the waist down. He also had 2 otter pops! He was really excited about that. Hard to believe that kindergarten went by so quickly!
Both kids are unwinding on their own in the their rooms. Dave said he may come back by 8pm or so. I’m dressed to run, and Peyton saw it and asked. I guess it’ll depend what time Dave actually makes it home.

Today, while I was putting Peyton in her car seat, I saw a stain on her shirt. I assumed it was food from lunch, so I asked her about it. She said, “It’s ‘Fairy-oli.” I asked her, “You mean ravioli?” She said, “Yeah, rav-fairy-oli.” Later, as we were idling, she smelled gas from the windows. She prefers open windows to AC, since she doesn’t get much AC back there, and windows are more instant gratification. Luckily, it’s not too hot yet. She said, “Do you smell that? It’s like Auto-popia.” I said, “You mean Autopia?” Haha…love it. Both kids are totally missing Dland. Brandon keeps telling me how he wants to go on Space Mountain this summer. He is now 6, and hasn’t been since he’s turned 6, so maybe that’s where he is getting his nerve. I will believe it when I see it. 🙂
