Playing the dot game at a long boring wedding

An apology

Michael threw a bit of a tantrum last night when I told him it was bed time after we played a game and didn't play another like he wanted. He said he would never play games with me again and that he didn't want to live in this house. Mom tried to explain to him how mean his words were. 

Today, Friday, I met him at the bus stop and he told me he got me a basketball pencil. He got to choose something from the treasure box at school for good behavior and saw the basketball pencil. He said he knew I liked basketball and was excited to get it for me and hoped it made me happy. I think it was his adorable way of apologizing. Even more adorable that I don't care at all about the Mavericks, but he doesn't  I know that. He was very cute and excited to give it to me. I sharpened it and put it in my work bag, which made him very excited that I was bringing it to work.

I will treasure this pencil!

When I am 100

Lucky younger ones

Michael and Peter are lucky to have Enoch read to them when they couldn't read, now Peter is lucky to have both Enoch and Michael read to him! And of course, all three of them are lucky to have mom and dad read to them! 

Missed the bus

This morning Enoch and Michael got ready for school before 7, I felt bad that it was dark outside, so I told them to leave home later to go to the bus stop. I started reading one of the "Bunnicula" series to the boys, and before I knew it, the boys missed their bus😂

Yesterday we hiked the Wasson Peak at West Saguaro National Park. It is about 7.4 miles both ways, Enoch and Michael hiked all by themselves!! So proud! Peter did great too, walked half way up and two thirds of way down. Mom carried Peter with a baby backpack carrier.

Piano and Uncle Mike

At Thanksgiving at grandma and grandpa's house Michael was excited to show off his piano songs. It was Uncle Mike's (Grandpa's brother) birthday and Michael insisted on taking Uncle Mike to the piano to play happy birthday. Afterwards, Uncle Mike recounted how it went.

Michael: Do you want me to sing while I play or not?

Uncle Mike: Umm, No singing

Michael: Do you want me to play happy birthday with chords or without chords?

Uncle Mike: Umm, without

Michael: Do you want me to play in the key of G or C?

Uncle Mike: Umm, the key of G

Everyone thought that was hilarious

Santa

Heard Enoch educating Michael and Peter: If Santa is magical, then ghosts and zombies are real!" Not sure what to say to that. Hmmm.. Sam said it might be Enoch's last year believing in Santa😥

Writing Chinese characters

Enoch and Michael had been writing Chinese characters to win stars so they can play Minecraft😉

Night terrors

When will you stop waking up 1-2 hours after bedtime screaming and crying? You have done it several days a week for the past 2 years....

Dinner

I made a fancy smoothie for dinner and heated up dumplings. Mid dinner Enoch kept on going on about"why is this all we are having, can you make some more food..."

Spoiled little shit

Michael also frequently says "women Zhi chi zhexie ma?"

First Day of School!

Today is the first day of kindergarten for Michael and the first day of first grade for Enoch. It's an emotional day for Peter to be the one left out😖

Peter got to eat his lunch pack at 8:30 this morning 😂

Cousins

At California trip now. Michael said I like Russell because he used to not like me but now he likes me. I like Owen he also likes me

Cinderella

Forgot if I wrote this down and thought of it so I am saying it now

We watched Cinderella 6 months ago and he cried at the end because he was so touched
