Kid Stuff

 Carly, Day 228, August 16, 2026

On Sunday, the family went back to the park (I had made room there for Austin to learn bike riding). Carly and Amelia played Rock Paper Scissors while Phillip helped Austin. I had Amelia on that one aspiration, Coolest Kid, but she had to make 3 kid friends and when she made 2 more and it didn't check off, we abandoned that aspiration. She is on Playtime Captain now and that would be her last one.

Austin did learn to ride a bike - he had to skip his scout meeting.

And Amelia saw some kids at the playground and went to meet them (they are the ones that didn't check off) and she became a bear.

The next morning was a school day. Carly talked to Amelia about her bear costume.

Don't know how successful that was, but she is cute giving her brother a bear hug.

After the kids left for school, Willow called Phillip and asked if she could come over. Must have been a Holiday in Windenburg, but Phillip said yes. This is not her everyday outfit - she is wearing what I gave her for a winter outfit - it got cold in Tomarang.

So Phillip asked her to play video games, hoping she'd stick around until the kids got home.

And then Melody came home from school with Austin.

And the kids played video games.

And it was a Monday, so there were two school projects to do after the other kids left.

And we did check the mail, and no plushies, unless they went to household inventory. I didn't check there yet. Maybe we can try again.
