It was good to see them again. I loved Grace&#8217;s red <span>poke<\/span>-a-dot dress. They all went out for supper and the big girls used the water slide at the hotel. I stayed home with Pip who had passed out asleep at 5:30 pm from exhaustion (she&#8217;d had a sleep over in Mist&#8217;s room with her sisters and cousin the night before). I had intended to work on my class but passed out by 8 pm myself. The pace, oh the pace&#8211;I&#8217;m running on empty.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I am so thrilled at my self though, I requested to my prof that he cut out 2 assignments because they take away from the big assignment: Literature review&#8211;he listened! He announced in class today that he&#8217;s <span>cutting<\/span> them. I am so secretly proud of myself. Also, the prof was a \u00a0lot of help organising my thesis. We managed to cut down my idea into something <span>manageable<\/span> and exciting. I am doing my <span>hypertextual<\/span> digital fiction project. Miranda made a suggestion about me patenting the rights to developing my idea. So, depending on my thesis outcome, I may be buying myself a patent too&#8211;<span>teehee<\/span>.<\/div>\n<div>Bought the girls a kiddie pool this afternoon. I&#8217;m too freaked to get anything bigger with Pip still a tot. And\u00a0<span>Nem<\/span>, Tabs and Mist bought themselves giant round super soft <span>stuffie<\/span> pets. They fought over which character each wanted. They came to a <span>pleasant<\/span> <span>compromise<\/span>&#8211;deciding to share all three, rotating houses and naming each creature together.<\/div>\n<div>Gotta work tonight on the lit review. Must go to the gym early tomorrow.<\/div>\n<div>Very HOT here in Kelowna. An evening swim might be nice&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twisted Sisters: Hoola hoop&#8211;Me and MirandaZenning: Peter and PipCrocodile wrestling: MirandaCrocodile wrestling: JohnBroom jumping: Granddad (he attempted it but I was the only successful jumper!)Kickball: the galsBubble blowing: Granny and Mistaya \u00a0Last night Peter&#8217;s sister Grace and brother in law &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/the-twisted-sister-olympics\/\" aria-label=\"The Twisted-Sister Olympics\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"kt_blocks_editor_width":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,1],"tags":[896],"class_list":["post-659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-motherhood","category-uncategorized","tag-summer-family-fun"],"aioseo_notices":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":24,"label":"Motherhood"},{"value":1,"label":"Uncategorized"}],"post_tag":[{"value":896,"label":"summer family fun"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"mixhart","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/author\/mixhart\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":24,"name":"Motherhood","slug":"motherhood","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":24,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":734,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":24,"category_count":734,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Motherhood","category_nicename":"motherhood","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1,"name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":576,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":576,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Uncategorized","category_nicename":"uncategorized","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":896,"name":"summer family fun","slug":"summer-family-fun","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":896,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":3,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
