Choosing lunch for the children was difficult. Each child wanted something different; some wanted a meal bigger than their stomachs. Eventually they all settled for cheeseburger happymeals from McDonalds. As we sat the children down at a table, we sorted out the meals so each child had a gender appropriate toy and the drinks they had all wanted.
"So, while you six were playing in ToyWorld, I went over to the phone store and got you all phones. This is a serious matter we need to talk about before you can get your phones. Your phones will only store mine and daddys numbers, plus your sibling's numbers. This is so that in an emergency, we can contact you, or your sibling's can contact you. Do you understand?" I spoke firmly to the children.
"Yes mama. We understand," they chorused.
I pulled the bag from off the floor onto my lap. "Now kids, I need to set them up to get them working. So start your lunch as I sort them out for you," I declared to them. They nodded eagerly as they stuffed fistfuls of French fries into their mouths. I pulled out a pink box with flowers all over it first and placed the bag back onto the floor by my feet. I sorted out the phone and got it all working before handing the device over to Alice. "Here you go sweetheart. Pink and petite, just like you," I said with a smile. Alice smiled back, placing the phone into her pocket and continued to devour her cheeseburger.
I reached down and picked out a royal blue box with swirls everywhere from the bag. When I finished sorting it out, I handed it down to Edward who said, "Thank you," spitting pieces of fries across the table. "Don't talk with your mouth full, sweety," I replied, smiling. He smiled back as I reached down and grabbed out a purple box with purple bunnies on it. After sorting it out, I handed it down the line to Bella who had written, "Thank you," on her napkin, and held it up as she chewed politely on her cheeseburger.
After finishing off with the green box with leaves over it for Jasper, the orange box with circles on it for Emmett and the red box with lips over it for Rosalie, I finally got to quickly eat my own cheeseburger meal before the kids got restless. "Mama, can we go back to ToyWorld?" Edward asked me politely.
"Soon, honey. Mommy needs to finish eating first," I replied in-between bites.
"Okay mommy," He replied glumly. I rubbed his back as I placed the last piece of my cheeseburger into my mouth.
"Who's ready to go?" I shouted after I swallowed the piece of cheeseburger.
"ME!" A chorus of voices arose from our table. I smiled once more before standing up and putting all the rubbish onto the trays to put in the trash can. We all headed back to ToyWorld so the kids could pick out a toy each. I watched as Jasper and Emmett ran off to the car section, Alice and Rosalie ran off to the Barbie section, Bella walked slowly towards the stuffed animals and Edward headed towards the board games and mind puzzles. Not too soon later, all six children returned holding an item each. Jasper had a red toy car in his hand. I wasn't a car expert so I couldn't tell you what kind of car it was. Emmett held a car also, but his was blue. Alice was holding a Swimwear Barbie and Rosalie was holding a Doctor Barbie. Bella was hugging a stuffed cow tightly and Edward was holding a Rubik's Cube. "Has everyone picked out something they definitely want?" I asked them, making sure they had what they wanted.
"Yes," chorused the children.
"Place your toys on the counter then," I replied and watched all six of them put their toys on the counter. I paid for them and watched Carlisle pick up the bags.
The car ride home was much quieter than on the way there. There was the quiet whisper of the pairs talking amongst themselves over their toys. I spied Bella and Edward not talking to each other, rather Bella was talking to her cow and Edward was intensely trying to solve the cube Carlisle had gladly mixed up for him. All six of the kids seemed fairly advanced for their ages. I wouldn't complain. I enjoy the maturity of the children.
Back home, the kids raced out of the car and into the house and up to their rooms. "Honey, I'm going to race down and get the groceries. We need some more food to cook dinner," Carlisle told me, standing beside his open door.
"Alright; be fast, okay?" I told him as he kissed me goodbye and got back into the car. I walked gracefully up to the house and set down the bag of empty phone boxes and emptied the important documents out of the boxes before placing the boxes in the recycling bin.
I sat down with a cup of coffee and a magazine I had purchased at the shops when Carlisle came home with the groceries. As he walked in, I got up to help him with packing away the items and help with dinner but he stopped me. "You've done more than enough today, Honey. I'll make dinner. You can sit down and read your magazine," He said, ushering me back to my seat. I kissed him gently and watched him place the items in the cupboard and the empty plastic bags in our bag drawer.
Carlisle made a wonderful sausage casserole for dinner that the kids all ate up. I never underestimate the wonders my husband can cook up. The kids went down to bed at 7:30pm as usual and quietly fell asleep, leaving the night to me and Carlisle. We watched a movie, snuggled up next to each other before deciding to retire to our bedroom. Another great day with the children; I could sleep with a smile on my face again.
