I DO BELIEVE IN SUNDAYS

I truly love it when our Sundays are "family days" spent at home, doing some chores and/or projects, but mostly just enjoying each others company (and getting to Skype with Grambot and PawPaw, and FaceTime with Gramma).
She asked me to play "castle" with her. It involved a lot of direction on her part as to who I was allowed to play with and what I was suppose to do with each character. Setting the mermaid sisters up for tea was prescribed, but my placement of her dino-riding princesses and Overworld Steve were not. Luckily she approved of their guarding the castle and I was not kicked out of the game. All other characters were to be put to bed though, no exceptions!
James said "I have a bright idea! Ha ha ha ha ha! I'm so funny!"
As I was (finally) putting away a week+ of clean clothes, I dismantled James' fort temporarily and Cannon scared me by being in an unexpected place... The cats generally aren't allowed in the kids' rooms, and I have no idea how he got up on the top bunk. Did he climb the ladder? Mystery.
Please tell me I'm not the only parent of Lego-loving kids who regularly finds buckets of Lego heads. No matter how many times I dump these buckets back in the abyss of Lego bins, they always resurface. And I find them in weird places too, as though the kids (or at least one of them) is stashing them secretly...
Don't look TOO closely at the below photos. I peeked out our bedroom window when I heard squealing and found Jay literally hosing off the kids before coming in for showers after HOURS of playtime outside in the dirt pile. I'm not sure who liked this activity more: Jay or the kids. I think it's every daddy's dream to be able to hose off their kids (rather than just threaten it).
