Our Busy Weekend

Friday night: EAT REAL FOOD and ART WALK at Vincent's school. We got there right at the start to be sure to get food. The boys dressed up in costumes, because Vincent was under the impression that you can dress up as someone in a book. They were the only ones dressed up, and in long sleeves, and it was a warm evening. Ha! They had a great time, though. But, the lines for food were long, and the salmon sandwich was spicy (David and I had those), so we took them back home, fed them there, and came back to the event. Nice to live so close to the school! I bribed them to leave by getting them each a cupcake to have as dessert at home.
 
Saturday: 1) 9am, took Vincent to Chinese school, where he had his final exam. 2) 11am, Vincent's first piano (un)recital. He volunteered, and was one of the first to play. I felt so proud.
Tyler really wanted to get in the picture with Vincent and his teacher.
3) 6pm, karate belt promotion. Vincent was getting his camo belt, which not many children get. It means he has been a "Little Dragon" from start to finish. It's essentially like getting a black belt in his level, but not really. It was perfect timing, too, as he is now old enough to go into the Juniors class. Some kids get moved to Juniors before they receive their camo belt because of their age, and never get the chance to earn that belt. So, this is super special for Vincent. He has been anticipating it. Tyler had his first promotion, from white belt to yellow. David is now an advance purple belt.

Sunday (today): All we did was go to a friend's 40th birthday party, but we were there for several hours, and the boys had a blast with their friends. The property is large, and has some wooded areas in the back with a tiny trail they carved out, so they had fun running around out there. Crosby did well, too. I avoided dairy as much as I could, but when it was time for cake, I didn't ask questions, and ate myself a piece. YUM.
