"I know we some how agreed to this but why do we have to go to a family lunch once a month, can't we stay home and have our own family lunch?" Reagan was rugged up in bed not wanting to move an inch, let alone go to a family lunch.
"Because you my love agree to it because you didn't want to hurt my mother's feelings, plus the kids want to see their cousins" Amy pulled the blankets off Reagan and practically jumped on her, pinning her to the bed.
"And if you don't get up now I'll let all four kids come back home so we can't have alone time tonight" with that Amy rolled her hips onto Reagan's and was greeted with a throaty moan the clear sign she had won this round and would pay for it later.
"Fine!" with that Amy got off Reagan and went back to picking up the washing.
as Amy made her way down the hall she stopped into each kids room.
"Malik are you up?" Amy peeked her head into the room and smiled seeing Malik at his desk with head phones on working on his Music assignment.
Amy walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulder and kissed his forehead.
"Jeez mum gave me a heart attack" they both laughed and Amy sat on the side of the bed.
"Hows it coming along?"
"It's going slow, half the stuff I try and make is thing's I've heard around the house from Mama's tracks" Amy smiled and watched as he stared at his screen.
"You will find something, you know that but if you get stuck you may need to call in Mama to help you find the base" Malik nodded and took his headphones off.
"I might have to I was hoping not to, to be honest, Are we going to Grandma's now?" Amy looked up at the clock for a moment.
"You have enough time for a shower, so make it quick" Amy got up and walked across the hall to Zara's room where she was still asleep despite being woken up 3 times.
"Princess you need to get up, we are leaving for Grandma's"
"Can't Mama just carry me to the car, I don't want to wake up yet" Amy laughed and sat on the bed and slowly ran her hands up the side of the covers. "Mum no, please" it was to late Amy had already started tickling her causing Zara to squeal and laugh, pleading for her mum to stop.
"Mum please, you win I'll get up I promise" Tears were running down her cheeks as she laughed and giggled trying to get away from the torture of the tickles.
"That's my girl, and if you hurry I'll cook you a few Pancakes for the Road" with that Zara was out of bed and running to the bathroom.
Amy laughed and stood up and walked past the stairs and to the final two doors on her stop.
she opened the door to Lucas's room only to find it empty and the bed as though no one had slept in it longer then a few minutes.
Amy walked across the hall to Jamie's room to find both her little boys huddled together with a book in between them.
"What are you two doing over there" both boys looked around quickly at her.
"MUMMY!" they both tackled her legs and smiled up at her.
"Lucas and I had a sleepover!" Jamie smiled brightly and ran back to get his book off the ground.
"That's good sweetie but you both know you have to sleep in your own beds now"
"What about Sundays!" Lucas looked hopeful at his brother and then back to Amy.
"Friday nights but only if your rooms are clean" Both boys were soon jumping about and talking quickly about what they would do on those nights. "Okay you two can talk after wards but first things first, what are you both wearing to Grandma's?" Lucas ran to his room and returned with his Dinosaur shirt and bright blue shorts and completed with Dinosaur socks.
Jamie went with his car Shirt and shorts and thongs and smiled brightly at his new shirt.
"Mummy can we have juice now?"
