[TBD]: Austin 4.0 Day 6 - let the games begin

Well after last night of finally getting the Twinkies to sleep (MBMell was the prize winner in getting them finally to sleep), we decided to play a game. MBMell opting out to do laundry, but AA dealt her in, and Lola convinced her, that she would help her with the laundry if she joined us. Once we began to play skip bo....we started talking about games that MBMell enjoys playing, the list consisted of about 5 games. After a quick discussion, we decided to see what games we could get on Amazon Prime Now, supposed to be delivered within 2 hours. Successfully MBMell (and her amazon skills) found Ticket to Ride and Sushi Go. These 2 games ordered and should arrive before 11 pm, enough time to play before bed. Three other games were ordered as well, just through Amazon Prime, and should arrive tomorrow (Tuesday) for us to play on our final evening here.

As we were waited for the games to arrive we continued to play skip-bo. We didn't get very far into the game before MBMell's phone continued to give her notifications.... games are ready to be shipped, games have been shipped, .... we continued to follow the delivery woman on MBMell's phone and to our surprise it was going to arrive well within the 2 hours window. Google Home timer was set for 2 hours..... turns out we needed 19 minutes, to have 2 games delivered to the door.

19 minutes.... that was worth the shipping to have that kind of service! We put skipbo away and played the newly purchased ones. We pretty much finished playing an intense round of Ticket to Ride before the 2 hour mark arrived (and Lola and MBMell folded all the laundry as well).

After enjoying the 2 newly purchased games, it was finally bed well after 1 pm. (a late one for us), but so much fun!

This morning, we all slept past the green light turning on (7:50). T up first to talk with mom and dad, then to notice that the toys had a great time last night. Sure couldn't get over how Butch was wearing his bib and letting everyone know he saved the paw patrols from the dinosaurs... oh AA is sure a funny guy.

DD went to take the Tesla in to the service center to get the door fixed, as a functioning passenger door would be great! He went to work after that. AA also had a call in the morning, so Lola, MbMell and the Twinkies ate breakfast and played a little. MBMell went for a shower, while Lola had colouring under control. We coloured for quite some time, T showed me his sticker skills and B and I had secrets about what we were colouring (B's game not, Lola).

After that we went to get some groceries for lunch and suppers in the next couple of days. MbMell took us to a different HEB than used to (just where google told her to go). Twinkies did pretty good, and we got a good selection of groceries so we didn't have to go out for the rest of our meals. (we are tired of hamburgers).

We had a good lunch, salad, polish sausage, tomatoes, cucumbers and grapes.

Nap time was great, the adults went outside to enjoy the comfortable weather, and stay out of the way of the cleaning lady. The neighbouring dog barked almost the whole time but we still talked about plants, pineapples and everything in between, while sipping on some tea! We had to wake up the twinkies as it was time for Swimming Lessons. They were sleeping so well, it was hard to wake them. Both having a really hard time. (lets just leave it at that). We got there with a few minutes to spare, but sure was a struggle, glad we had 3 adults and 2 kids...

Swimming was great, this week was learn to swim with normal clothes on week. They did a great job, and even got ribbons at the end! Even Emma had a great time watching! On our way home we looked for the cows and sang Moana songs. Once home AA and Lola made supper, while the twinkies watched their treat of paw patrol. DD made it home in record time.... with his loner Tesla (as he didn't make it back to the service center in time to pick it up).

We had a great meal consisting of BBQ'ed steak, baked potatoes (made in the crockpot all afternoon), zucchini, fried mushrooms and onions as well as the Corn on the cob that T picked out/suggested at the store. The Twinkies really enjoyed the Corn!

After supper there was a little colouring, a bath for some 2 kids and then they went to bed. Tonight bed time was a little more bearable after they all emptied their bowels.

DD then took AA and Lola for a test drive in the Model S Telsa he got as a loner. That car has some power! Once returning from our little adventure, we went back inside, as AA was using the washroom, Lola, MBMell and DD went for another test drive. AA was left in charge of the sleeping twinkies. This time DD tested the acceleration even more... how about 0-60 in 3.something seconds... wow the adrenaline, it felt like a roller coaster! Not sure why you need a car that fast....but so cool, I would like one! The g force took your breathe away as it was accelerating. DD said he didn't even do it as fast as he could... but we couldn't keep trying as MbMell has a weaker stomach and already was feeling a little queasy.
