Stuff and Stuff

When I ask Ramsey how his day was and what he did, he more often than not answers with very vague answers. He sometimes tells me, "Stuff and stuff, I don't know." Yes, he is particularly vague with what goes on with him. So I decided to adopt his words for this post title.



Sat 10/3 morning Ant and Ram played at Michael's house with two of Jermey Affelt's (San Francisco Giants pitcher who retired about 10 days ago) kids who were slept over the night before.



Sat 10/3 I took Ramsey with me to Costco. He really wanted a remote control car and I bought him this green Viper and picked up a red Mustang for Ant. Oh boy, Ant was upset because he wanted the green Viper also. We finally calmed Ant down and he agreed to a yellow Corvette so I went back to exchange cars. Above right -- Ramsey was getting ready for his Xtreme game on Sat 10/3 and Ant was playing in his room. Ramsey really wanted to play with Ant so he tried dressing while playing. He was literally half dressed for a while as he was playing with Ant.



Ramsey had two games on 10/3  and we ended up staying at the field until 8pm when they won the 2nd game in extra inning. In the meantime, Ant and Hen were at the Stanford football game…Hen sent me that picture of Ant. They had biked there from our house.



Random Ant pics. Notice that my sewing machine is in the dining room (background of the ice cream (with milk) eating pic) because parts of the office need to be cleaned out for construction work (starting tomorrow 10/15).



Ramsey played in his first soccer game this season on Sat 10/10. He finally didn't have a conflict and was able to make a game.



Ant in his room with his ring of animals, lego creations and baseball cards.



Ant at soccer warming up.



Ram and Ant building their small Lego sets that we bought on our road trip 3.5 years ago in NYC -- bunny and duck (Yellow Fur and Long Ears), ducks and eagle.



Ant after his Fall Ball game on Sun 10/11 and on Sunday evening as I was leaving to take Ram to SVBC basketball practice (6-8 pm), Ant got in the car and tried to prevent me from going and wanted Hen to take Ram.



Mon 10/12 afternoon at Hillview before Ramsey's teacher conference…oh boy Ramsey got some comments about working harder. He now does the minimum to get the work done and to let the teachers know he understands the work…but the teachers want him to  extend himself and do super work. Yep, that's my Ram! He is getting a C+ in English but solid A's in Math (Algebra), Science and Social Studies.



Mon 10/12 afternoon at Costco. Tues 10/13 lunch at an Indian restaurant -- Ant ate a frosted piece of cake and his teeth were red!



Doing homework 10/13 evening.



This morning before school the boys played with their new remote control cars. Ram is a bad driver and keeps ramming Ant's car. Notice how much STUFF is in our living room -- sewing machines, boxes behind the couch, etc. This is all stuff that belongs in the office.
