Shane wanted to show Chris and Gen our 'new' basement. Carrie put on Super Mario RPG. The flickering, electronic lights captivated Shane and we all went upstairs without him noticing. Carrie started a timer on my phone to see how long it took him to notice we were gone.....but after half an hour we decided to check on him instead!
Saturday morning, Shane played a lot more Super Mario RPG. He was the first one up, followed by Chris. I came down next, then Carrie, and then Genevieve.
Shane played a lot of that game over the course of the day (The music was a little annoying!).
We had a soccer game at 11 AM.
The size of our team:
The size of their team:
We won! It was 5-1! The kids looked fantastic! We had one loaner player (To whom I yelled, "Great job 'Loaner!'" after one play. He replied, "My name is Willey!").
Shane was almost a member of the orange team. It was coached by Hayden and Harrison's dad! Coach B wasn't there for some reason, though, so I didn't get a chance to say hi to him.
I did come away with a slight pinkening on half of my face (#GingerProblems).
Carrie had driven Chris and Gen to look at our home site while Shane and I were at the game.
We met up for lunch burritos!
Shane wanted Jersey Mike's so I walked him over to pick up a kid's meal before meeting back up with everyone.
There was funniness, goofiness, and "Shane will snuggle with anyone on a couch with a blanket" shenanigans in the house, but there was still time for neighborhood friends. I got a picture of Henry and Sam out Saturday evening...
...and Raheem played around on Sunday. They played some Mario Kart in the basement before going outside.
Throughout it all, the adults found time to nerd.
Friday, Carrie said, "Let's play a game!" If it's in the house, I enjoy it. I'm not picky. I put out a few choices and Chris picked D&D. I didn't realize neither Gen or Chris had ever played, so I asked Gen if she wanted to DM or not and then launched into DM mode.
We ended up playing off and on all weekend! Sir Tiffany the folk hero, Zazie the academic mage, and Cirilla the rogue runt started their adventuring careers. A half-deaf shopkeeper had trouble understanding Zazie, and she almost lit the group on fire a couple of times. Sir Tiffany tried to pet a wolf in the mouth, then slept in a bugbear's bed, and got lice. Cirilla had the darnedest time noticing and getting away with anything, but got the hang of sneak attacks and was the last party member standing after an owlbear attack (She had to drag everyone to safety).
I look forward to seeing what they do next time! The core rulebooks went on sale, so I might have ordered them......just in case.
Shane was really sad to see them go. He loves when we have visitors!
I love when people visit, too. Shane gets that from me.
Chris said they'd be back to ease the sting. Probably not to this house, though!
It was good to take the weekend off. The night ended with some bamboo mattocking and electronic contemplation.
Not too much longer before we're homeless.
