Thursday night at our house is grandkids' night. Joyce picks up Titus, Courage and Serenity right after she gets off work at the Japanese School, straps them into their car seats crowded into her little Ford Focus and hauls them to our house. Now that we have a little pool that is usually the first activity on the agenda. This week the popular game was grandpa throws the ball high in the air and the three kids scramble for it in the water. Serenity took a direct hit to the nose with the ball but it didn't seem to bother her at all. After everyone gets dry it is time for dinner. The popular menu items are always pancakes, "mac-n'cheese" or grilled cheese sandwiches. 
After dinner it is time to watch a few cartoons and get into the toy box. Grandma has an amazing collection of fun toys and grandpa has cable! Serenity's favorite show seems to be Go Diego Go. Titus is into Transformers.
Then it is time for a project and and a story. After that bedtime. On Friday morning Joyce does some "home-schooling" with the kids before they go back home on Friday afternoon. We enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with the kids and I know Mike and Sam enjoy having some time to themselves too. And yes Joyce is drinking a mango/carrot/orange smoothie made with fresh mangos from the tree in our backyard. We are pretty blessed.
