Good times

The kids played well this morning and got their own cereal (bless them!), which meant that Sylvia and I got to sleep in. I feel like I’ve barely seen Max in the last two days because he’s spent all of his time upstairs with the big kids. Sylvia and I split up today and she took the older kids: Chase, Ernie, and Isabelle to the  movies to see “Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief” and I took the younger kids: Nigel, Lilly, Emmaline, and Max to the McDonald’s Play Place for lunch. The big kids had a really good time at the movies and the little kids did great at McDonalds- I couldn’t have asked for better behaved children.

This was a picture from this morning’s Pow-Wow. Notice that Lilly wouldn’t look at the camera because she was mad.

Max LOVES Aunt Sylvia :)

Emmaline and Lilly lunch

Emmaline and Lilly have really bonded this trip. Which is awesome, considering how much Emmaline wants a sister her own age!

max lunch

I have a picture of Max eating lunch and no pictures of Nigel, because he stayed inside the maze almost the entire time we were at McDonald’s.

And then tonight when Ernie got home he lit a fire for Family Home Evening and the kids sat around and roasted marshmallows and played with laser pointers in the smoke. They had a fabulous time and all crawled into bed exhausted and smelling like a campfire :)
