Sunday fun day! Aira opened the door going to the garden, planning to help Dex in putting the stones under the ground and the smaller ones for their garden edging. She looked over the cement leaves that the kids made. Eli really had the potential to be an artist. Riley and Lizzie were of the same level. Hot mess, hihi. But Ethan's work was cute. Hhhmm, a budding artist too, eh? Just like Eli? What happened with the girls?

"Mahal", Dex called her from the dining.

"Coming", Aira said and returned to the dining.

"Kain muna tayo bago magsimula. It's good hindi masyadong mainit", Dex said as they sat for their breakfast.

"Will Riley and Ethan join us today?", she wondered out loud.

"Abangan. Kita mo yung mga bata ayaw ng umuwi. 5PM na kasi. Sana nga dito na lang pinatulog ni Kuya", Dex said

"Why were they late?", Aira asked. She didn't go down anymore since Kate and Kuya Bry didn't get down from the car at all. Just asked the kids to get in the car.

"Nag honeymoon", sabi ni Dex

"Really?", Aira said. Well, if that was the case then she can always take in Riley and Ethan.

"Joke lang. Nagpunta daw kay Theo. Invited sila dun sa recital ba nung anak? Parang ganun", Dex said, drinking his coffee. Anak ni Theo tas yung anak nila andito? Ano kaya yun?

"Methinks they should have went with the kids too", Aira said, having the same thought.

"Baka mas enjoy dito yung dalawa", Dex said and Aira nodded.

"ok", she said. Then watched the monitor as she saw Lizzie moving. Eli was making his bed. In a little while, the kids will be joining them. True enough, they heard Lizzie calling Aira upstairs.

"Nagsisigaw na naman yung amasona", Dex said laughing, then stood up and waited for Lizzie on the foot of the stairs.

"Mommy Dada?", she asked him as she slowly went down the stairs.

"Wala, I'll take care of you today", Dex joked joked

"Really? I will sleep again", she said and started going upstairs again.

"Hoy! Joke lang!", and Dex knew naisahan sya ni Lizzie when Lizzie grinned at him.

"Gotcha Dada", she said

"Ah ganun ha! Ikaw talaga", Dex said meeting her halfway the stairs and tickled her neck. Lizzie giggled and screamed.

"Mommy! Mommy! Help me! Hahaha", she was almost falling down the stairs sa pangungulit ng Dada nya

"Early morning pa lang ang kulit mo na", natatawang sabi ni Dex, trying to get hold of her feet and Lizzie tried to kick his hands, laughing at him. That started another kulitan ng mag-ama.

Lizzie was able to come downstairs despite Dex's trying to catch her and ran to Aira.

"Mommy!!", she called on Aira, laughing as she went to her and hugged Aira, grinning mischievously at Dex.

"You're losing Babe", Aira teased Dex.

"Pinagbibigyan ko lang yan, haha", Dex said playfully, looking at Lizzie. May sa palos yata tong batang to. Ang bilis. Hindi. Tumatanda ka lang Dex. Grabe sya!
