Yesterday I took the kids to the library. Carmie borrowed 25 books, and she was so excited to be back at a library. Arley borrowed five and didn't seem terribly excited at all! Haha.
On Friday last week we met Lexi and fam at a place called Rush Adventureland, and the kids loved it. There was an indoor play area, rock climbing walls, these strange bumper cars, and a 'roller coaster' which is a contraption that hangs the kids from the ceiling and they can 'fly'. They had so much fun. We can't go there too often, because it was pricey, but every once in a while it will be well worth it, I think.
On Saturday Lexi and fam came over to our place and then we went for a short walk to the nearby skate park so that the kids could have a scoot and a skateboard. Arley refused to come. He refused to participate at all or even come out of his room when they were over because right in the first five minutes Lexi asked to go to Carmie's room and not his, and that was the end of the world for him. He gets very jealous when kids want to play with Carmie instead of him, and he is hyper-sensitive to everything, even when his friends have no idea why. It is very frustrating. After the skate park they all came back to our place to have a go on the VR, and he still wouldn't join in. Everyone else had a good time though, so at least there's that!
On Sunday I took the kids to the smaller mall, because they wanted the gluten free donuts we found there. At some point I'm going to have to put my foot down with all these mall trips. They love fidget toys, and they buy them with their pocket money, play with them, and then trade them with friends. It's great because it gives them a way of connecting with each other as well as other kids, but their desire for them seems insatiable!
So, quite a good week all in all!
