With the days growing longer, we tend to stay out until the last minute, until it’s absolutely bath time. The kids stay out, that is — the adults take turns. Some days we play; today we work, which means E plays, which means he works. Which means, potentially, he makes an enormous mess for me. Which is why I watch him, guide him, and probably say “No” more times than I should. We get ready a small bonfire for when our guests arrive. We’re planning an ognisko as part of our Easter celebrations — with Polish Mass at 3:00, things tend to stretch into the evening — but we might light it up a day or two earlier. No matter: E will gladly rebuild it.
