Last Friday, Jeffrey and I went up to Sacramento to watch the kids because Debbie needed to leave and go to her Uncle's funeral. Jeffrey stayed and played some games with James like "Life" and showed him all the moves of chess.
Then Jeffrey went up to Redding to watch Caleb's soccer game. He had a good time with the grands up there and a good chat with Nate and Kelsi that night.
I went on to pick up the others from school in Sacramento. Did you know they have a bi-lingual school? They are taught in Spanish though the teachers know both languages. The three of us went halloween shopping. Fairy wings for Corina, Creeper costume for Oliver, and materials to make a ghost costume for James. I had a great chat with Matthew after the kids went to bed.
The next day I watched Matthew in his garden and watering his plants while I sewed up James' costume (I'm still not happy with it - maybe a do-over). Jeffrey came back from Redding and wrestled with the kids. Then we went home early - but waited in slow traffic - because I had to teach a lesson the next day.
I love how well Corina, Oliver, and James get along and treat each other. They had a friend, Kyle, come over and they were nice to him and they all seem to enjoy interacting with each other.
The coolest part of the day came when Matthew opened up a box that had been in our garage. Jeffrey is systematically going through the garage and giving boxes to those he thinks they belong to. Matthew found some letter from Debbie that they thought had been lost. Instead history is found!
