While waiting for it to be our turn at the cafe, we caught up with Soren because he had a birthday yesterday. He had a great birthday party playing sports and playing at the arcade and he had a taco bar and a cookie cake afterwards. We also caught up with Georgia. After lunch at the Flying Biscuit, Ammon had a playdate with a boy from his school and the White Memorial Presbyterian church that we go to. It was a beautiful Sunday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-18-at-2.35.43\u202fPM-771x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-18-at-2.35.43\u202fPM-771x1024.png 771w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-18-at-2.35.43\u202fPM-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-18-at-2.35.43\u202fPM-768x1020.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-18-at-2.35.43\u202fPM.png 1006w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Children&#8217;s Store:<\/strong> After church, Lily and I mostly spent our time working on tasks. When we wrapped up our efforts, we were invited by the kids to come see their stores. We went to Lydia and Mary&#8217;s room to learn that the entire thing had been transformed into a market. The kids had been working for hours to create the crafts to sell at their stores. Lily and I had so much fun shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 1603\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eemlwNkrVXg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ran out of money, but I wanted to buy more things. The kids allowed me to put on a puppet show to earn more money, which they generously paid me. After the show, I was able to buy more things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 1607\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5MT6mRDr3sY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we all put on a puppet show together. while Lily recorded and watch.

It was a great 15 minute show about a shy Cinammon Bear who is shy about going to her first day of school. The bad Fre-Shavacado principal only makes things worse by declaring that no one is allowed to use the restroom. Then Cinammon Bear makes friends with another stuffed animal who also insists she is a bowling ball. Then those two friends accidentally see the principal using a bathroom, and the principle is embarrased for his\/her hypocracy and reforms. Then they all have an afterschool activity which involves befriending a tiger and almost getting eaten by a snake. It was quite the story! You can watch below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 1609\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c3T3o7GyUaE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all had the most wonderful time. I needed the laughter. I&#8217;ve just been so focussed on tasks and problems to solve lately. I was also so amazed by our children&#8217;s creativity and ability to create beauty and play together. Lily was also very touched, stating it was one of the happiest days of her life and that she felt like she was in heaven on earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped
