Hello everyone, it was a warm evening. The children are all together again at their grandparents’ house, and everyone is excited. This is a regular weekend, every Saturday or Sunday we come for tea to my in-laws' house and followed by dinner. The kids are so excited every weekend to see their grandparents and play with their cousins. most of the time, they play in the playroom after dinner, the room full of toys, and the kids have so much entertainment, not only toys but also storybooks book and they can also draw. Since the weather is dry, the kids decided to go to the garden and play with bubbles. The grandparents' garden was beautiful. There were colorful flowers everywhere, tall flowers, and soft green grass. It was the perfect place to play and relax. The garden had always felt magical to the kids, like their own little world.
My in-laws bought them bubbles for the kids to enjoy love to play with them, and that’s the best part of the day. The bubbles. At first, they just blew small bubbles, but soon they were trying to make the biggest bubbles possible. Some floated high into the sky, while others popped right away. It didn’t matter, everyone was laughing and running around, trying to catch them. My son is even just sitting on the stall he enjoy blowing the bubbles, while the two small girls trying hard learning how to make the bubbles and trying so hard to make it. these two little girls are like bestie. at the age of turning 3, they know that they are bestie, so close to each other, maybe with their cousins, they are the same age, and they can have conversations that only the two of them can understand their language haha.
I just sat in the swing under the moringa tree nearby. While watching them play made me smile and remember my childhood, how nice to be a kid with no worries about things around. As the sun began to go down. Kids continued watching a few bubbles float slowly in the air, glowing in the orange light of the sunset. One cousin made up a story about a bubble that could carry a wish. Everyone added something to the story, laughing and being silly together. The day felt perfect. Simple things like blowing bubbles and being outside made them feel special. It wasn’t about toys or screens. It was about being together, sharing joy, and making memories that would last forever.
As the sky turned darker and fireflies started to shine in the garden, I called them in to have dinner since my mother-in-law and sister in-law prepared the table in the dining room, and all were hungry and excited for chicken nuggets and sausage, which the grandma had prepared for them. All rushing to the kitchen to wash their hands and get they’re set on the table. We are all busy laughing and talking while eating, and we are all parents listening to their stories after dinner. The kids went to the playroom and continued playing, and we all adults were busy talking at the dining table while having our dinner and drinks, we were just simply spending quality time, not competing about status and jobs. We all respect each other and we have boundaries and respect for each privacy, this thing I like about this family. And we are also working out that our kids will grow up with a bond to each other and they will be close until they grow up, and must earn the respect to each other and love from each other, this kindness action will lead them wherever they go in the future. There’s a saying that our future and legacy are our kids, so we have to be attentive to them.
