Why do you all insist on sitting in the not-living-room? 

Also, poor Yuki, she is just not comfortable here… 

Eventually Corbin left the ladies with his sister while he explored the house. 

After a painfully awkward conversation, Yuki went to look for Corbin and see if he was ready to leave. 

Yuki: “Hon can we go now? what do you want for lunch?  I’m getting hungry, and I was thinking we could stop by the cafe on the way home.” 

Corbin: “That sounds great!  Just give me a few more minutes, this book is great!  I may have to borrow it!” 

Yuki went out front to breathe.  So hungry… and 100% done here..

Danae went across the street to hang out with Rosie for a while before the kids came home from school.  When she saw them on the corner she made her goodbyes and headed back; as she walked across the street she heard Tem mention her name, and something about groceries. 

Emmet: “Grandma, can I go with you to the store!?” 

Tem ruffled his hair as she passed him.  “No kiddo, you’ve got homework to do.  I saw your report card the other day.” 

Emmett: “Awww… Will you bring me home an ice cream bar then?” 

Tem laughed over her shoulder.  “Sure sweetie, I’ll get a box of Fudgesicles for us.” 

Emmett: YES

Danae gave them both kisses.  “So how was school guys?” 

Daphne: Ugh, where do I begin… 

With everyone at work and school now, Tem decided to take up yoga.  Morning stretches in a warm flower-scented breeze is almost as good at waking one up as coffee. 

Tem paused mid-pushup.  That reminds me, I should pick up more coffee later. 

Nothing fancy, just sausage and peppers, brownies, and a bunch of chatter. 

=D

Daphne: “So Aunt Charlotte, are you ever gonna pick a boyfriend?” 

Everyone froze. 

Corbin: “What did she say!?” 

Danae: “Mommy and Daddy said you have a bunch of boyfriends, and that I should only have one at a time.  Are you trying to decide which one you like the most?” 

Danae: I’m so dead. 

So four sibling and a couple of girlfriends were invited over to make sure the twins have met the basic extended family, and what do they do?  They all enter through different doors, and file into the guest room.  =/ 

Everyone gtfo please.

That’s better, thank you. 

Daphne: “Uncle Corbin come see my monkey bars!  They’re so pretty!” 

Corbin: “Don’t you mean yours and Emmett’s?” 

Daphne: “No, they’re all mine, he never uses them, he’s lazy.” 

Corbin: “That’s not very nice!” 

Yay the Hopper twins (Emmett and Daphne) finally aged up!

I changed out the nursery decor to make room for Daphne’s turtles, and enclosed the upstairs den for Emmett’s sci-fi bedroom. 

Now let’s get to work on those social skills!

Maybe we should invite the aunts and uncles over for a light dinner, get those relationships up…
