Day 266

Today...was different. After making sure each of the boys had their breakfast, and having some fun with them while Josh and Nathaniel made paper airplanes I'm supposed to judge later, I went upstairs to wake Kurt up. After doing so, I came back down and made him bacon, eggs, and toast. He didn't come down until around 8:25, and that's pretty close to when we leave the house. I had told him his breakfast was on the stove, but he wasn't paying attention. I moved it to the table, but he was too busy trying to stop the boys from getting ready. Eventually I told him he'd have to take it in the car, and we went on our way.

We dropped the boys at school, then went to the train station, and then to Starbucks. After our drinks, we looked around a couple of stores and I picked up some white chocolate powder for my mochas. I then drove Kurt to the train station where we hung out for 40 minutes waiting for the right one. I said bye to him, watched the train pull away, and walked back to my car.

I came back to the house to do laundry, and Heloise came in not long after. I think I was folding the 2nd load. Turned out she was let out of school early. We talked, and then she worked while I wrote some overdue letters. Soon enough, it was time to get the boys.

I did that, then because Zach's sick, he didn't want to go swimming, so Nathaniel and I were on our way out the door when Zach told Heloise he wanted to come with me!!!!! He said he'd do his homework with me while Nathaniel was swimming, he didn't mind, he just wanted to come. So off the 3 of us went.

Zach and I had a nice time together, and after Nathaniel's lesson, we all came back for dinner. While Heloise was making it, Zach asked if we could watch Spiderman 3 together. So we watched a bit of it. Heloise ran out to pick something up at the store, and I popped the potatoes in the oven.

After we all ate, I hung out with the boys for a bit. Josh and Nathaniel had gone up to bath, and Zach and I were at the table alone. We were having so much fun together, the two of us couldn't stop laughing. After he had his bath, they all came back down, and I made them some hot chocolates. Heloise, the boys and I were sitting at the table and were having a good laugh. It was really nice. I didn't come upstairs until at least 8.

Heloise also told me today how glad she was that I'm here, and how much she appreciates me staying. She's sure I've really missed home and she's really happy that I've stuck it out. It was nice to hear. Now though...I must sleep. Good Night xx
