Hanging out with Kids

Today I spent the whole day at the youth pastor's house hanging out with his (and a few other) children. It has been a couple of weeks since I started work at my new job, and the kids miss me! Awwww.

I got there this morning with my mum, who had spent the morning baking. It was the first time I've been to his new house. Glenna, the eldest daughter got me to teach her a bit on the violin. I used to teach her violin and recorder, as well as teaching her younger brother Enoch and his friend Tommy the recorder.

After a while, Harris and Tommy, two brothers from church, came over with their mum to join us. We had some lunch that the mums had made. There was some really nice food there - mini doughnuts, chicken nuggets..mmm.....

I was surprised at how eager the kids were to play Scrabble! Of course there were a few changes to the rules, but I could live with that!

We had to keep Ebenezer (the youngest) away from the board just in case he kicked all the pieces away though! He seemed to really like women's shoes for some reason!

 The next game was Monopoly! Oh no...Monopoly is never a short game! These guys though were ruthless, buying up all the property and building hotels on them! Tommy was kind enough to lend me some money though! 

The kids eventually got bored and it was time for Hide and Seek. We all took turns hiding. I have to say the good hiding spots were limited, especially when you're confined to upstairs rooms and are too big to fit in all those little holes that the kids can get into! Let's just say the toilet is a bad place to hide!

I was still there in the evening, and so they kindly fed me dinner! It was some Chinese food but it tasted pretty good!

It was getting late and I had to go off to youth group soon. It was fun haging out with the kids today though! I definitely didn't feel 23 today!
