The school has a week of minimum hour days this week due to parent-teacher conferences.  Connor gets out of class at 11:40am while Logan’s class dismisses at 12:45pm.  Since Kathy was busy on Monday, I volunteered to pick up Kira and keep her for the afternoon.  Connor was quite excited with the plan.  After I picked him up on Monday and a quick lunch at home, Connor and I headed over to Kira’s school while Stuart picked up Logan.  We did not want to be late, and ended up arriving at Kira’s school quite early.  Connor patiently waited while watching the children play at recess but was thrilled to see Kira soon after.  Finally their bell rang, Kira quickly spotted us and walked over.  She gave me a hug and talked to me as I asked her questions.  Connor and Kira were very quiet with each other and did not say anything all the way home.  Neither of them had homework to do, so they ran off to play.  Shortly after Logan was done with his, he joined them in the game room.  For the rest of the day, they played a couple of board games, had a sword fight, made some nice drawings and played in the backyard for a bit.  They also used the toy money and played selling and buying snack for some time.  All three of them played very nicely and quietly together the entire time. They had snack and kept coming back to get refills.  Finally they watched some TV while I cooked dinner.  The boys did try to be fair and chose some girly show for her too. 

   At dinner time, both boys wanted to sit next to Kira and she was happy to be in the middle.  With the good influence from Kira, all of them were eating quite well and fast.  Just when we were ready to choose the desserts, Kathy arrived to pick Kira up.  Kathy ended up having a plate of dinner and chatted for a bit before we said goodbye to our little guest.
