Sister weekend

I called Lanette on Thursday to see if the girls could spend the weekend. I didn't tell Sean. I picked them up on my way home from work Friday night. Sean was lying on the floor in our bedroom playing with his tablet. When the girls walked in he looked up confused and then smiled and said "you tricked me." Then he got wild and ran around like a crazy child. They were so excited. 

A couple of nights before the girls spent the night Sean asked me again why I didn't adopt his sisters. I toldr him we just couldn't do it. He said "yes you could. Our house is big enough. We have enough money." I told him we just didn't feel like we could take care of  3 kids. He can't grasp that. He said "you took my sisters from me." I told him I didn't take them, they are still his sisters. I understand his feeling of loss and I try really hard to make sure he has time with his sisters to keep their relationship strong.

We went to a play at Legacy theater on Saturday. It was the Emperor's new clothes. Well, sort of the story line wasn't even close. Sean was bored but the girls liked it. It was a children's production.

I had promised the girls the last time they were over that I would teach them to sew. Each of the kids made a blanket. Sean has really gotten into sewing and is sewing little pillows for all his stuffed toys. They did really well especially  with they tying. Kylie was really scared of the sewing machine.

They camped out in the hallway. It was practice for our big camping trip.

On Monday we went to the pool. I was taking this picture and some life guard told me taking pictures was against the rules. That's news to me I've been taking pictures at the pool for 30 years. I'm not sure how they could enforce that in today's digital world. 

Don took the kids hiking up by the B on Saturday. 

He took them hiking in Farmington on Monday.
