Day 1645. Yesterday the kids had swim class in the morning; it's one or two Sundays per month. After the class, we stayed to have fun in the water, and I think we stayed longer than ever before because they were having so much fun.
After leaving the pool we went to the McDonald's nearby, where we enjoyed our lunch together. Then we went home, where we all lay down in our beds. I made the rooms dark as well. I was surprised, when Sammy actually fell asleep. Randy and I also took a nap. Tammy and Emmy were on their tablets. After everyone had rested, Randy took them downstairs. I was so exhausted that it was out of the question to go anywhere else that day.
Today the cleaning lady came in the morning, which was way overdue. The kids tidied up before her arrival, and I helped them, putting stuff up so she could do her job. In the afternoon we left the house at 2:30 to take them to their ball-playing class that starts at 3 pm. It was their third time going to that class. Sammy is not enrolled, but he greatly enjoys the class. Contrary to the other exercise class they take, parents actually get to stay and watch in this class, and as there are lots of children, there are also lots of parents, quite a few of them with younger and older siblings. Sammy had so much fun, moving all over the room, playing with hoops and balls and climbing up to the big mat to play. And Randy pulled him through the room with the hoop, much to his delight.
The other two had lots of fun too. They played a game, where they had a piece of fabric sticking out of their pants, and the other kids had to try to pull it out. Tammy and Emmy each had fabric at the same time and ran valiantly to not be caught. Tammy's was gone pretty quickly, but Emmy was the last man standing, having held out pretty long. In the end, Emmy had fun with the cones, stacking them all on his head.
The hour was up pretty quickly, and we left to return home. We got there just before 4:30 pm, which is when I started teaching for two hours.
