There is an advantage of having the kids around. Ryan cleaned everything in the kitchen after breakfast this morning and Elim baked a banana bread with the over ripen about to be thrown out bananas. What nice kids! I really like having them around. I get to talk to them about their day after they get home and we have dinner together. It’s too bad they are only staying for a few weeks.
The other benefit is I am more active when they are around. Instead of lounging around watching youtube videos or taking naps, I am motivated to do more cooking and some housework than usual. One I like to have dinner with them, two I don’t want the house to be too out of control when there is compnay. Double benefit.
