Day 2638. On Saturday Randy got up at 6 am as he and Emmy left the house at 7 am to go to the sports center where Emmy had his tennis class from 8 to 9 am. Then they took the train downtown where they met up with the rest of us.
I got up at 9 am and left the house with Tammy and Emmy just before 9:30 am. When we got to the subway stop where we were meeting the boys at 9:45 am, they were already there. I passed Sammy on to Randy, we talked briefly, and the three boys walked to the other subway to take it straight to where Emmy had his soccer match that day. Tammy and I got on the next subway, then we rode the bus and got to the church where she has choir every Saturday fifteen minutes early. We were the first ones and found out that choir practice was in the church tower rather than the basement. We had to wait for the choir leader to arrive as he had the key. Then choir practice was from 10:30 until 11:30 am. They reviewed their two songs and worked on how to write music. In the end they danced while the choir leader was playing classical music. Tammy had lots of fun, and she also danced with another girl a few times.
After it was over, we walked to the subway and rode it to where we had met with Randy earlier. He and Sammy had left Emmy at his soccer match and gone back there as well as there was a McDonald's where we could meet to have lunch together. Sammy did not want to stay and watch Emmy in the cold weather, and so they got there half an hour before us. I ordered our food on my phone on the way there, so they already got it before we arrived there. We then had a good time eating together. Randy and Sammy left around 12:30 pm. They rode the subway downtown, then went to the playground near the music school that Sammy loves before going to Sammy's piano class from 1:30 to 2:30 pm.
Tammy and I left around 12:45 pm, and we rode the subway to the sports club where Emmy had his match. There was a playground there that Tammy played at for a few minutes, then we continued on to the soccer fields where Emmy was playing. He had just finished a game, and then they found out that they were done playing for the day. It wasn't even 1:30 pm yet. All the teams and coaches then gathered together, they nominated the fairest player of each team, spoke a few words, and the event was over. Emmy then got changed before we made our way to the exit.
But before we went to the subway, Emmy also wanted to play at the playground, so they both played there for a few minutes. Emmy was also eating the McDonald's food we had brought for him as he hadn't eaten anything yet. Then I gave him his surprise, what I called the prize for my favorite player of the day. As Austria was playing a game against another country that night, McDonald's had given away free soccer donuts. What a fitting gift! Emmy was very excited about it.
We then walked to the subway and rode two subways home. It was 2:45 pm by the time we arrived. I was extremely tired and glad I didn't have any afternoon students. Randy and Sammy arrived at 3 pm. We then all took a much-needed break. I would have liked to go to church but in the end we were all too tired. After a much-needed break, I went to the kitchen to make their dinner, then I cut up my own salad. After having eaten, the kids went downstairs with me for piano practice. Then they went into the bathtub before it was time to get ready for bed. After they had gone to bed, I finished my salad and sat down to eat.
Sunday
We had a nice, quiet Sunday of not going anywhere. The kids woke me up, as usual, then I got up just before 11 am to cook lunch. It took some time in the even before we could eat. After lunch, I sat down at the computer to prepare for my 2 pm student. I taught from 2 to 3 pm, then again from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. Then I went to the kitchen to make dinner for the kids. After they had eaten, we went downstairs for piano practice, then it was bathtub time. After that, we read a book together, I prayed for them, they brushed their teeth and went to bed. I then finished making my salad and sat down to eat and take a break before going back to work.
