Saturday summary:

Basement = forts, ‘jail’ (aka Anna/Mason putting Jeff in ‘jail’ aka ‘down in the basement’ aka the back basement), and tiny water bottles. Forts kept getting wrecked then rebuilt. BLANKETS! “Cover up there’s rain!” Kids spitting on us…hahaha/oops. LOTS of spit! Mason comes up the basement stairs, Stephie says: “where’s Jeff?” Mason: “He’s dead. I killed him” and matter-of-factly moves on to the next thing. I then go downstairs to discover Jeff playing dead on the pile of blankets, tongue hanging out. Heh. Anna to me: “Go get your doll!” (luckily I still have this doll…Kirsten and McKenna keepin’ it real in the fort.)

Main level = Legos, drawing, wrestling/football/pillow fights?, and gymnastics lessons. “Just relax and set your hands on the floor” / “3-point stance!” Also some breaks for iPad/iPhone viewing/fake-naps. Whew.

Outdoors = water fight. Anna and I were terrible at this. Anna’s swimsuit: pink and white stripes with roses, mine: black with orange slashes. Hmmmm. First against Mason (tough) and Mike, then “Grandpa Steve”. Before the storm…great!

Upstairs = dollhouses and ‘playing catch’ aka Mason throwing the plastic golf ball over the edge of the loft over and over and then covering his mouth in ‘surprise’ (LIES). Mason calls me Aunt Jenny, Anna: “why do you call her Aunt Jenny?!” Mason: “I don’t know what her name is!” Mason: “I have to go destroy Uncle Jeff. Be right back.” LOTS of ‘destruction’.

Wonderful day!
