Playing all day long

 We all had a good night, because Cassian decided to play nice during night. He had need for the loo at one in the morning, which led to the boy ending up at the glass doors of the cabinet (he had forgotten to take his flashlight), which did wake me up, and I brought him to the bathroom. Back in bed he slept until seven in the morning. Hubby picked his brother up, while I showered, then to Aldi it was. They have fresh vegetables at reasonable prices, that´s why I love to go there, especially when I want to do ramen with lots of mushrooms, spinach, leek and carrots. Turned out that this was a bad idea, because son invited us to come over for late lunch tomorrow- he will do chilli con carne. My guess is that he will give us a list with impending dates for child watching, too. I found the Hot Wheels catapult, which had belonged to number four and had a competition of whose car would make it farthest. Afterwards I did strawberries in white chocolate together with the boys, prepared tuna sauce without olives (those got eaten by them quicker than I was able to cut them) then Flavius went for a nap and Cassian for a how-to-do-a-mummy video clip. I read a book about mummies to him, childsafe, of course. Cassian loves the canopic jars and their namings, especially the one of Duamutef, which contains the stomach (picture in the book shows a jackal which looks more like a cat, and Cassian is very fond of cats). We had a late lunch and did lots of playing afterwards- first out in the garden, because the weather was fine today, then back in the house playing wand waving, hide and seek the mummy and Tricky Golf. Out of the blue the boys´ mother showed up to pick them up.Turned out that yes, she had a cold. That did not keep her from going to a flea market, with no child to supervise. That´s mean, because I had wanted to go there, too, but could not with her offspring in the house! After they had left I did some elementary housework like mopping the bathrooms (oh boy, those two always leave a mess there), while hubby finally mawed the lawn. T´was about time, I was about asking the farmer nearby to lend us some sheep! Now husband mine is waiting for the first football game of this year´s championship. I will join him for the news then be back up in the studio. Hard days are looming ahead for people who had this sport!
