Day 106

Today is April 30, it is Children’s Day in Mexico. Today children are celebrated in Mexico as important members of this society, and are showered with gifts and candy all day long. I went to the corner store to buy some items and the store owner gave me four lollipops for my kids.

After school, we brought out a lego Hogwarts, and Bonnie spent most of the day helping the kids put it together while listening to the Sorceror’s Stone on audible. We ate pizza and brownies, and had a great time.

The kids like creating their own books and the middle boys worked tirelessly on their own comic books.

Our oldest son was excited about his book and read it to our youngest.

After dinner Bonnie has a dance party upstairs, while I stayed downstairs to wash dishes and sweep the floor. She loves dancing and I prefer quiet so it worked out for both of us. I put the Roomba on ninety minutes ago and it is almost about to finish sweeping our floors. Every time I turn it on I think about the scene in the modern movie “Clash of the Titans” where Zeuss yells “release the Kracken”

I usually say “release the Roomba” to myself and then walk upstairs under the sad realization that I am bored and no one here gets that reference. I’ll leave you all with our Roomba going back to charge itself after sweeping up a days worth of crumbs and dirt from four small children and two adults.
