“Good morning!” Chirped Mercy “It’s just after midnight.” Groaned Felicity as she pulled herself out of bed. The night shift with the babies went as smoothly as possible. The sisters went directly back to bed after tucking in the babies. They had the first full nights sleep in days.The house was quiet until dawn.Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Charity coos to her daughter. Charity warmed up some leftover waffles for breakfast. “Just my luck.” grumbled Mercy. “Today is the day.” Felicity announced “I think the little ones are big enough to leave the house for the morning. We can have the builders come by.” “Are you sure this is a good idea? We will barely be able to afford nappies after today.” Mercy whispered to Felicity. Felicity pretended not to hear her over the running water. Felicity paid the bills §168, she winced at how much they will go up after the addition today. “We’ve got a surprise for you” Mercy chirped as she gently lifted Honor from her bed.
Happy Birthday Hope!
Happy Birthday Honor!
Happy Birthday Justice!
Time for breakfast
After their birthday party, the girls take their little ones out to buy some new clothes. The 6 of them take a taxi in the least safe way possible to the clothing store. The driver side-eyes all the babies on laps and takes her time up the bumpy mountain road.
After arriving at the clothing store. The split up and find clothes for the little ones and some warmer clothes for themselves for Autumn. The builders only halfway finished the job!” Charity complained. “We only halfway paid them.” Felicity quipped. They get the toddlers settled into the play area. “We will be back soon.” Felicity says as she kisses Justice on his head. Charity visits the park across the street to fish for a little while. Felicity gathers some more vegetables from the community garden before going inside.Mercy stays home with the toddlers, and tries to teach Honor some new words.Felicity lists some items for consignment.
Charity caught some fish and a ladybug, and found some seeds on the walk home.Justice plays peekaboo with HopeSassie was so happy to have Felicity home, she marked her.Charity arrives home and finds Carly Ruiz looking for a doorbell. Charity greets her. Carly asks for Felicity, volunteering that they met at the festival yesterday. Felicity greets her happily, despite not feeling her home was ready for company. Mercy prepares the highchairs and baby food for the toddlers. Charity sits with the children, and tries to teach Hope a new word. Charity spends a little more time talking to Hope before dinner. “It’s a bottle for you Mr.” Charity says to her nephew as she cleans his highchair. Over dinner Carly tells nannying horror stories. She mentions that the family she nannys for will soon be growing up and no longer need her. After dinner Charity takes Hope to the potty. It’s okay sweetie, don’t be afraid. Mercy takes Justice out of his highchair while Carly and Felicity chat. Then carries Honor to the restroom.Shortly after Mercy and Honor come in too. “There you go, just like your cousin Hope.” Carly surprises Felicity with a bouquet. Felicity thanks her but tells her it’s getting late and she needs to put her son to bed. It’s best she leave now. Felicity takes Justice to the unfinished bathroom upstairs. At least it has a floor and sink in, she sits him on the potty. “It’s okay son, you can do it.”“You put Hope in Honor’s crib.” Charity says to Mercy. “What?” Mercy yawns sleepily. “It’s fine, just go on to bed.” Charity assures her. Mercy doesn’t protest, she goes directly to bed.
“I think I might miss sharing a room with Mercy.” Felicity thought as she climbed into bed. Charity feels strange in her new room. “Perhaps it will feel more like home when it’s finished.” She thought as she drifted off to sleep. New (Unfinished) Upstairs area) Downstairs
