Month: February 2014

Today, both kids woke up about the same time.  Too bad Peyton sleeps in during the week and then wakes up with Brandon and bothers us on weekends!  We got ready for Brandon’s game at 9 am.  My parents came down first, then we went in two cars to the game.  Brandon put up at least one basket in honor of my parents being there.  He also got at least one rebound.   Brandon did well the first half, but we could tell he was getting tired after halftime.  His arms weren’t going up to defend, and he was slower getting back to the other side of the court.  The team they were playing was good, and there was a lot of running involved.  Brandon looks like an octopus when he runs, with all 4 limbs moving in different directions.  It’s no wonder he is so skinny with the amount of energy burned the way he runs.  Maybe I should start running like him, too 🙂  It’ll be a new weight loss regimen.  Anyway, when Dave called timeout, Brandon ran over to the sidelines and took off his arm band, meaning, “Sub me out, Coach!”  He needed water, and a rest.  They all seemed to!  After the game, Peyton and I left to go to Bailey’s birthday, while the boys and my parents went to kill time for about an hour before lunch.  Peyton and I got to CEC right as Bonnie and Connor were getting there.  In fact, they were behind us coming into the parking lot. I spotted Bonnie in the rear view mirror, and I waved. Peyton asked me who I was waving to, and I told her, “Auntie Bonnie!”  She turned around, and Bonnie waved, but Peyton did not.  She just said, “Oh yeah, that’s Auntie Bonnie!”  I told her she should have waved, too!  We went inside, and Peyton quietly gave Bailey her present.  They did exchange some soft words, and both were polite to one another.  Bailey lost a few coins, which we helped pick up for her.  Then, we saw Joyce and the other friends to greet everyone.  Joyce gave us a cup of coins, and Peyton was a little bit reluctant to play.  Then, she got into it!  I tried to convince her to get tickets, so at least she could bring something back.  She was only getting a few at a time, but enjoyed Skeeball.  We also played air hockey, and I tried my hardest to win, though I told her I’d play with my right hand. (Almost) no mercy! She hung in there, and the final score was 7-5.  Not bad!  When it was lunchtime, we were all called over, but Peyton didn’t want to go.  I had to drag her over to eat.  After we washed up,  she ate one slice of pizza and said she was done. She didn’t even it all of it, just until the crust, and she left it.  She had some water, and that was it.  She wanted to go back and play.  She didn’t even want to join in in the birthday song or to see Chuck come out.  I finally had to tell her she was being rude, and that we weren’t going to go shopping with our tickets until after we went back over to the tables.  She agreed, and we made it just in time as they were serving cake. Peyton sat down again, and waited for her cake.  She ate it, then she rushed back off to go shopping.  She ended up getting a braid extension (pink, of course) for her hair, a sticker sheet, and ring.  She later found 2 tickets and the lady gave her a smarties roll.  She later went to play in the structure with Penny.  Penny had gotten knocked down inside the tunnel, so she was reluctant to go back in there.  But Peyton took her and she eventually went up there with her.  They climbed around the hamster trap, and enjoyed driving the Nascar.  We tried to take pictures of them, but they didn’t stay still long enough.  Finally, they were done, and we said our thank you’s and goodbyes, then left for the restaurant.  We got there, and it was crowded, but we didn’t see the family.  I decided to go home, as I was starving by then!  They’d already gotten home by then, though I didn’t get a text from Dave!  But they had some leftovers, which I ate, while they played MJ.  I told Peyton to go upstairs and take a nap, while Brandon was playing a new game with my aunt.  Peyton eventually fell asleep, and so did I, but on the couch.  She woke up and came back down, and then played with Brandon for a bit. She wanted to put the next big puzzle together, so we started that before I tagged Dave out for the next game.  We played another, then my mom, grandma, aunt, and uncle took Peyton back to my parents’ house.  My dad had left earlier as he had the pageant to get to in the City.  After my mom left, we took Brandon out to eat again.  This kid is getting his share this weekend!  He said, “I kinda am glad Peyton isn’t here, but I’m kinda not.”  I asked him why he was glad, and he said, “Because she always whines.”  I asked him why he was kinda not.  He said, “Because I like to play with her sometimes.”  True. And true.  While we headed out in the car, and a song came on that wasn’t FROZEN; Dave and I started dancing in the car.  We were so happy to have just one kid for the evening!  We were trying to embarrass Brandon, telling him we may run into one of his friends in the neighborhood!  We went back to the sports store that they’d been earlier so I could check out some running shoes, which I was in need of.  We made our way to dinner, and it was getting late, so we told Brandon the purple stack (blueberry oatmeal pancakes, with marscapone) was part of his dessert for the day.  He agreed, and happily ate his share.  When we came home, he showered up, then I left for the gym to try out the new shoes of course!  Brandon said he was tired, but only because “I can’t wait for my party tomorrow.”  Right…we could see it in his eyes at dinner.  I told him tomorrow he was to play quietly, while I tried to sleep in.  We have to get started early to get our seats in the theater and then await seven, energetic boys!  I think we will caffeinate before greeting them.

Here’s a picture of Peyton at CEC:

Where did the time go?! We woke up, and Brandon was up first. I made him a little sign last night, and I put it in front of his door. He came into our room after 630 am, and he said, “I’m EIGHT!” I told him technically he wasn’t eight until after 12:19 pm, when he was officially born. Also, I told him, “Come here so I can give you a hug!” He said, “No, I’m hungry.” great. So, he went down for his own breakfast, while we got ready. Peyton lounged around, the consequence of staying up past 930 pm last night. Dave thinks I woke her up when I came back from my school meeting. I told Brandon since it was his birthday today, he could open the gift from Auntie Julie. It was on the counter, and when I heard him rustling through the tissue paper, all I heard was, “OOooooo.” Then he shouted back upstairs, “Auntie Julie knew JUST what I wanted!” They were Pokemon cards. Then he said, “Did you tell her?” He was kept quiet the rest of the morning, while I got Peyton up and at ’em. We went off to school in time for flag salute. Peyton and I then took off for her school. I then headed up to my dental appointment, and picked up a snack pack for Peyton’s lunch. I wanted to have her eat in the car on the way home, since it was already 11 am by the time I was heading back. There was a dental visit for the kids today, so I wanted her to stay with the class for the presentation. I arrived at school by 1130 am, and the dentist was already gone. We headed home, while Peyton ate her chicken and hummus. I was going to eat her tomatoes, but she told me, “I ate all my tomatoes!” I was shocked! They were the size of the ones we’d grown here at home, so I think she was used to eating them now. I knew she’d eat the cucumber, but I wasn’t expecting the tomatoes. She finished up at home, and I told her food was going away by 12:15 pm if she wasn’t done. She told me she was all done, leaving some of the chicken, and pita, but all the veggies were done. She went upstairs on her own, and I washed up the dishes. I went up after I was done, and again, she was out! I took a nap, too, and then when my alarm went off, I went to check on her. She was still sound asleep, and I did the unthinkable….woke her up. She was a bit cranky, ok, a lot cranky, but we got out the door in time. This didn’t bode well for her lesson, as she was not very cooperative. She was hot and cold, and she was fine with me, but when the teacher came around, she just stared at her. I didn’t hand as many stickers to her, and she knew she was going to be in trouble, saying, “I don’t want you to talk about it in the car!” Haha…she knew what was coming. We left piano after it was done, and we headed to get Brandon. I was informed that he was moving up to the 3rd grade class, one of 5 2nd graders to do so. There were too many 1-2 graders in the current room, so they were off-loading some. Brandon wasn’t so excited, though the teachers say he likes to go in there to volunteer and hang out with the older kids. He doesn’t want to leave his current friends, but we think the teachers are better, and it may serve him well to be around older kids. We’ll see. He handed me a bag of goodies from the same teacher who gave him the chocolate last week. He said, “I didn’t want to get in trouble again, so here you go.” She’d given him some gummies, and he asked if he could have them. I said, “Sure! Thank you for telling me. And I’m lifting the dessert ban, since you told me.” He was excited of course, and then he was happy to look over all the new Pokemon cards he received, while Peyton and I cleaned up. Dave came home, and Brandon said he wanted to go to a Chinese place that has shaved snow. He wanted to go this morning, even though I said no dessert. His response, “They have other food there, you know!” He’d wanted noodles. But now, since his dessert ban was lifted, he was totally looking forward to it. Dave asked him if there was anywhere else he’d rather go, more “fun”, like we’ve done for Peyton’s birthday. Dave convinced him to get a hamburger. Brandon and Dave came up with Islands. We let Brandon order a regular hamburger instead of the kids’ version. We even let him order fries!!  I think he was most excited about that. I ordered it fully loaded, except for the onions, and the server commented, “Wow, he has a great palette if he eats all the veggies and other stuff on the hamburger.”  She said she only liked the meat and ketchup when she was young.  He did eat his hamburger as requested first, then the fries, and he even shared them with me right away.  I had a salad so I could share fries with him 🙂  Peyton had a slider and some broccoli.  When she was done, Dave gave her a few fries.  Dave asked the server if there was anything for birthday celebrants.  She said, “Either the mud pie or the lava cake!”  Brandon whispered in my ear, “The mud pie.”  We asked her for the mud pie, and Brandon told me that after his second helping of fries that we’d served him, he was done.  (We ordered more as they were ‘bottomless’.)  The mud pie was brought out, and the server wished him a happy birthday and asked him how old he was. He was quick to answer, “EIGHT!” and reminded me now that it was after his actual birth time.  He said all of his friends in class sang to him, and throughout the day, wished him a happy birthday.  They all knew it was today, and Brandon passed out favors.  I think he had a great day today, and we’ll be celebrating all weekend long with my family tomorrow and his friends on Sunday!

Here he is about to dig in…I had to stop him to take the picture, and then Dave stopped him to cut it into smaller pieces for us to share!  The kids went to sleep, while I headed to run…off the mud pie!

Today was National Frozen Yogurt Day. I’d received an email reminder over the weekend, and I put it in my calendar. But I didn’t get the reminder just yet, as we were pulling into the driveway. She saw Dave and blurted out, “Oh, tonight is yogurt!” She remembered, and I hadn’t even said anything since Saturday!! She told Dave our plan to eat dinner and then rush out. I’d talked about going there first, but since I’d forgotten and we were already home, we were going with eat first, yogurt later. It helped to move the eating along, as she normally drags. She ate quickly, while I finished my own dinner, washed the dishes, and cleaned up. We got out the door by 545 pm, and it was only going from 4-7. We parked further away and walked, since I wanted to avoid the congestion closer to the yogurt place. Surprisingly, the parking lot was empty, but there was a line as expected. It was super cold, so we were bundled up together, in our puffy jackets. The line moved quickly, and we waited about 20 minutes. We were told we could get 5 ounces and 2 toppings only. Most of the toppings were picked through, but I got Peyton coconut, strawberry and pistachio, while I got salted caramel, pralines and cream and pistachio. Peyton got popping boba and pineapple pieces, while I got Oreos and peanuts. We weighed in, and we were under limit, then took our dessert outside.

Peyton didn’t want to eat in the car as she didn’t want to get it dirty. We sat outside in the cold, and we ate for awhile until she got under the lip of her cup and her toppings were done. We quickly walked back to the car, and there were two guys smoking by it. Peyton blurted out, “Those guys are smoking!” For once, it was great that she says these things, and I replied, “I hope we don’t smell it in the car. Hurry get in!” As I was saying this, they extinguished and moved along. I’m not sure if they were near done already or if they heard us or both, but I was happy to not be able to smell it in the car. We finished up in the warmth, then headed home. Peyton took a bath, and as we were brushing teeth, Dave came home. Poor Brandon is sick, with a runny nose. I can’t remember the last time he was sick! He’s still his usual self, so that’s good, but I can hear he is nasally, and his nose is wet. Peyton excitedly told Dave she had yogurt. He could definitely tell! She went to practice piano, while Brandon showered up and both went down to sleep early. I left for the gym to run off the yogurt. Back to training, with a 3 mile run, in 31 minutes. Phew!
