Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-08-30

2009-08-30 23:00 (John) Jamie woke up at 6:30, stressed out over Mom's absence; Liam slept in until about 8:30. I had planned on taking us to the JCCC Bazaar today, but Jamie was adamant that he was too tired to go, and preferred to spend Sundays quietly at home, and I couldn't argue with that. I made waffles, sausages and eggs for breakfast. We tidied, played video games and vegged out until lunch time. Ayami made us sushi. We did our homework, with Jamie again a little resistant due to stress, and Liam a little overeager due to so much paternal attention. Jamie did his scheduled five pages; Liam did six pages of hiragana (he's up to shi, ku and tsu now), four pages of mazes, then about a half hour of colouring. Kristen texted to say she had managed to catch an earlier flight, so I left Jamie with Gary and Ayami (he felt he would get carsick on the way to the airport) and walked with Liam to my parents' to pick up the car, then drove to the airport to pick up Kristen. Liam was quietly thrilled to see her back; Jamie was much less quietly so. We got the boys to bed a little early, and they fell asleep again around 21:30.
