Walk Through the American Revolution

This week has flown by. Yesterday, I got a call that Brandon wasn’t feeling well. I was on my lunch time walk, and I didn’t want to go out, but he was wanting to go home. He was slumped over in the nurse’s bed when I arrived 30 minutes later. He didn’t want to walk to the car, but after telling him I couldn’t carry him, he begrudgingly stood up. But he started to moan and groan, whining and crying about his stomach. I got him home, and he crawled upstairs to bed with a bowl in case he puked. Dave came home and then left to get Peyton. I took a nap, since I’d not gotten good sleep the night before. He came down still moaning and groaning, but more because I think he was bored and tired of being sequestered in his room. Dave came home but didn’t get Pedialyte as requested by Brandon. I later left to go get it. He had requested grape or orange if no grape. I did the best I could, and I got generic orange colored fruit something or other. He insisted he needed Pedialyte, brand only, but the pharmacist in me disagreed. He drank two cups, then went back to bed. He had a performance today, so I was worried about him not making it. I had taken work off to make it, so he HAD to be there. He’s been practicing for the past month or so. He has a character, and he had gotten his costume all together for it. This morning, he woke up with a head ache, but with two more cups of replacement solution (it’s generic Pedialyte, so I can’t call it that), and a full breakfast of eggs, ham and hash browns, he went to school. I saw him at noon, when he came in, and he was all dressed nicely in his ‘teacher’ / spy clothes. I had to wait until his character (Nathan Hale) was called.
It was a long presentation, about 2.5 hours. It was run by the same people who did the “walk through of California” last year. It seems like a long time, but the kids were really engaged and respectful of their peers. Here is Brandon’s, though he had his classmates talking to the proctor during his:

Here’s his fight scene:

And finally, they had the national anthem.

I left right away to go back to work for the rest of my time. I got home and the boys went to basketball practice, but not before Brandon had opened up the cologne samples of our SI magazines and rubbed it all over himself, while I stayed home with Peyton to read and do her piano. When the boys got home, we all had dinner. While we were cleaning up, we got a doorbell ring. We all four looked at each other, then the kids took off for the door. I ran out there with them, and there was a car parked on the opposite side of the street, and two people were taking off. Brandon said, “It’s a boy!” We did look at the door bell (cheaters) and saw it was Peyton’s classmate. I told her not to say anything to the boy, since we shouldn’t be using the doorbell camera.

Now, we have to go pixie our family sometime in the next few days…
Here are the pictures:


Art work and school work:


This month’s character trait at school is caring. Brandon has a writing piece to draft and share with his class. He will be working at the warehouse to sort toys on Saturday. He was trying to ask Peyton what we did two years ago. Peyton will be sharing about Girl Scouts and her vest. Today she got a gift (holiday socks!) from her first grade teacher for helping in her classroom.  She goes there once a week to volunteer. I love that she is contributing to school! 

More parties 

Saturday, we practiced piano in the morning and then we went out for breakfast for lunch. We laid low until Brandon’s basketball game late in the afternoon. We drove separately so dave could take off for his holiday party set up. I stayed at home with the kids to attend our neighborhood holiday party.  One mom threw a party at her house. Brandon was trying to set up a play date with his friend and teammate but he’d have to coordinate with my mom which was too difficult.  We had to postpone it so I got the kids home to shower before my mom arrived. She’d just come home and hung out with us before they went out to meet my dad who was coming down. I had some alone time to get ready for Dave’s party. I curled and re-curled my hair while watching the ucla basketball game. I headed over to the neighborhood party just in time meaning I was super early. I was the first to arrive!  I was able to mingle with the other early birds as they arrived and stayed about an hour in total. I arrived at Dave’s work party fashionably late. I had a cold plate of meat in front of me per my request. It was still yummy but I didn’t eat as much as I could have if I’d been there the first time around.  We ended up shutting the party down as usual but I didn’t seem as long for me since I’d not been there at 430 pm like Dave had.  

We got home separately and my mom was still up. She couldn’t sleep because they’d had green tea at dinner, and she kept thinking she was hearing noises (our pixie did get us Saturday night!). She went to bed when we got home. 

This morning, the kids woke up super early. I thought Peyton had gone downstairs but she was in Brandon’s room. She was perfecting her aim on his nerf gun that he’d recently earned back. I thought he was working on his aim but he said she was.  Both practiced piano then we contacted his friend for a movie date. We all went to see Moana. Our two had already seen the movie.  But Dave really wanted to see it. I did great for the first 3/4 of the movie mostly because I was too cold to sleep. I finally coinvinced Peyton to sit with us to keep me warm.  At that time, I fell asleep. Ugh. We dropped C off at home and then took Peyton to basketball practice.  Then we got dropped off at Girl Scouts to make fleece blankets for foster kids. 

Our final event was going up to see my parents for Dave’s last birthday celebration. We went out up there. I told Peyton we should play a game “who can fall asleep first?”  She proudly proclaimed she’d won. But I came in second while Brandon did fall asleep but third. Here are our pictures from the celebrations:

Birthday week

The long week ended with Dave’s birthday. We’ve been going all week long non stop. 

Monday, Brandon had basketball practice til late, then Tuesday I had a conference call for the PTA. But I worked late as I’d gone to school midday for an art project. 

 Brandon dropped his clarinet during practice and busted a key. I had to take it to the repair shop and use a rental clarinet that school had. Wednesday we didn’t have basketball, but Brandon had to do lots of math, and I had to order our Christmas cards. Thursday, Brandon stayed at school while I took Peyton to piano. He had rehearsal early so he stayed for that.  I came back and then Peyton went home with Dave. Both kids showered up before the band concert, and I took Brandon back by 6. They came back just as the show started. Then, after the concert, I headed to a work holiday party.  I ended up talking to my mentor doctor until the party ended. 

This morning, I headed back to work again after dropping the kids off at school. I worked for three hours then Peyton and I came back to practice piano. We went back to get Brandon, and he did the same. While Peyton practiced piano, it was super quiet downstairs. I crept down the stairs to find Brandon curled up on the couch taking a nap! 

Peyton was getting very cranky so I told her to go take a nap so we could take dave out for dinner. She said she wasn’t tired so I told her I needed a nap. Brandon worked on a surprise for Dave.  Peyton was still asleep (remember, she wasn’t tired) when Dave got back home. I woke her up since I wanted to make sure she would sleep later tonight. 

We headed out for warm ramen and headed to get Dave’s free scoop of ice cream. The kids went down after 8!

Busy two days

Saturday morning was Winterfest at the fairgrounds. This is our third time, and we always seem to rush. We practiced piano then Peyton lagged getting ready. She delayed our outset, and I thought we were going to be late to our meeting spot.  But shortly after our trip on the freeway, I saw the Troop mom we were meeting.  So we followed her until we got stuck at the light. Instead of parking in the lot and waiting in light, I went rogue and parked on the street. Per GPS, it was less than half a mile.  We walked in and we’re just behind the mom we were following.  The group of girls did a scavenger hunt, then we headed to earn their badges. They did a few hours of activities before Peyton was getting tired and hungry.  We completed all tasks then headed back. Dave had prepped food to bring for Peyton’s basketball league holiday party. While we couldn’t make it, we brought our food to contribute. But before that, Brandon had a band concert at the senior center. We arrived just a few minutes before and got him set up. We brought his music stand and clarinet.  He warmed up then the band started. One by one she called up kids to play their solos. I thought for sure she would not call Brandon since it’s a bit rough. But soon, she called him, too!  He did a decent job for being put on the spot. I had a chance to video him as he was in front of me. 

Love that he looked at me to see if I was watching. 

After the performance, we rushed back home, picked up the chicken then headed to the temple. We dropped it off, then picked my parents up to go all together tony dad’s 40 th celebration of his business. We made it up and got the party started.  Brandon and Peyton participated in the “Don’t say ‘I’ game”.  They listened carefully for anyone saying “I” then they took their necklace (given at the door) away.  Brandon was sneaky, leaning his ear into people’s conversations.  But while Peyton and Brandon were talking, somehow she stole his! They were playing for a chance for an iPad, so there was a lot at stake. I tried to coach them that they should collaborate. They had been in the lead.  It was a good strategy to have Peyton get all the necklaces since she doesn’t speak in public. Brandon was using “me” instead of “I” in his conversations.  I had been drinking so I’d lost my necklace to one of them early on. She had to last until dinner time. I sequestered her for awhile keeping her with me so she wouldn’t talk.  Soon, as dinner started, the game was called with Peyton as the winner. She was brought to the middle of the party to congratulate.  We had a table game of trivia and the table who had the highest number of correct answers would win. My dad gave an opening speech and introduced his oldest clients, all of our immediate family, and thanked his staff.  He was dropping hints on the trivia questions. We were listening carefully to answer the questions. The table who had turned in answers first was the tiebreaker in the event there was a tie. We worked on the 10 questions. I was only a toddler when the business opened so I don’t know many of the answers. But my mom came over and the mom of the family we shared the table with was trying to pump her for answers. My mom gave up the answers readily!  I even turned to the kid (18 years old) and told him, “Your mom is totally working my mom!”  In the end, there were three teams who had all answered the same number of questions. But we won because Brandon delivered our answers first!  Our prize- $200!  There were 10 20 dollar bills in the envelope. Brandon counted out one hundred for the other family. Then he distributed twenty to Peyton, kept $20 for himself, and gave Dave twenty. He gave me the rest because there was change. He couldn’t figure out how to divide the last $20 out. So by defaulted, I got it. I did end up holding it all for safe keeping, except Dave’s  money. So, for the iPad, they were going to have raffle. I went to therestroom  and when I got back, Dave was getting up to claim the prize! Later though, he was disqualified since Peyton was already in the running. We still had a chance. He was rather bummed about not being able to go for it. So finally, they had their four raffle winners and Peyton. She went to the middle of the room again but was now joined by four other women. They were given numbers to then proceed with a white elephant gift exchange with five envelopes. Peyton had #4.  #1 could not steal so she was in good shape.  When it was her turn, she decided against stealing.  I had told Dave to go help her out, but he wanted to leave her alone. (I was reminded of the time I told her that her guess of pumpkin seeds was too high so she lowered her guess. And when she did learn of the total, had she not changed on my account, she would have won.) My cousin was there helping her, but she didn’t listen to his suggestions. She held her ground. Number 5 stole from Peyton to a round of oohs and aahs. She kept the envelope that she was given.  Then there was the reveal.  The lady at our table threatened to punch out the lady who stole Peyton’s envelope should she happen to win the iPad. But luckily, she did not win it. She won $50. Another lady did cheer, meaning she got the iPad. One lady received $100, then the final two, Peyton included, won $50.  After they were dismissed, she ran over to me in full waterworks mode! She was sobbing and buried her head into me. I tried to ask why she was crying!  “Are you sad you didn’t win the iPad?”  Shook her head. “Are you sad you only won $50?”  Shook her head. It was the same question, but I wanted to ask it a different way.  “Are you hurt?”  Shook her head. “Are you upset that someone stole something from you? She didn’t win!”  Shook her head. “Did you not like being up there?”  Loud crying!! Poor baby didn’t care about the iPad. She was mortified being up there and having everyone look at her. She kept it together the whole time she was up there then released it all when she got back. I had to tell everyone around me that she wasn’t sad about not getting the iPad. She was embarrassed!  She preferred to just hang out with us and be anonymous. Brandon would’ve owned the spotlight. And we think he would’ve stolen wherever and from whomever he could. 

We stayed to close the party down and then we headed out.  Peyton stayed up for awhile then asked, “Can I go to sleep now?”  Funny she asked.

The kids woke up enough to brush teeth then sleep.  

This morning, Peyton and I practiced piano while Dave had taken Brandon out. I didn’t know where but Brandon came back in when they got back to tell us they got a tree!  I got Peyton ready to go and we went to get our pixie presents. 

When we got back, we got ready for Brandon’s first basketball game. We hung out long enough to see him score a basket – a jump hook over someone. Then we left for Peyton’s piano recital.  She had to go first so we could leave for basketball practice. She was just a bit late but she made most of it. Dave and Brandon made it over after their game. They ended up falling by 10 points – they were up at the half!  Luckily, Brandon had made his free throw at the half that counts for the score. I headed to TJ for groceries while dave took the kids to the Japanese grocery store. I met them back at home after my trip. I got ready for Michelle’s birthday celebration. I was driving her today. We had another great time together, celebrating over dinner, drinks and laughs.  Here are the pictures and videos of our weekend:

Newspaper dancing – Macarena without stepping off the paper. She did it with her friends! 

Problem solving! 

Tonight, Peyton had another Girl Scout event. They had worked on small gifts to sell and were given a chance to buy other gifts made by other troops. We arrived early to make a sign. Half the troop was given one poster paper while the other half was given another.  Peyton had a group of 5. They were to write their troop number and then their names. They were  trying to figure out how to decorate the blank sheet of paper. They all wanted a part. Suddenly, they got a spark! I heard peyton say, “We can all do a letter!”  They all wrote one letter of “Troop”.  Then luckily, their troop number is five digits. They all chose a number and wrote that, too.  She’s learning how to be more diplomatic and use nice manners.  I just watched it all happen, and it was nice to see. 

Here’s what she did!

Life in pictures 

Life has been pretty nuts lately. The holiday season is definitely upon us. 

The new thing for Peyton this week is the use of “air quotes”.  She was referring to dinner last night, saying she could eat it as was “spicy” but not. It was only a little bit spicy. Pixie-ing will begin again this week! We’ll do it for two weeks with two different families. 

 Here are some pictures that have been taken this past week:
