After nap time, the kids were back at it again.  Namji had voted to go outside, and of course, the adults thought it would be a great idea to get them outside.  So, all the toddlers were dressed up and sent outside with Namjoon, Tae, and Jungkook.

All the snow they’d gotten was enough to make a few snow forts and snowmen.  It took them a half an hour or so to make the snow forts, and then they moved on to building the snowmen.  Then the kids decided they wanted to have a snowball fight.

It was going just fine.  Until Xia threw a snowball in Junseo’s face.  He burst into tears as he tried to get all the snow off his face.  Jungkook scooped him up and took him inside, and Tae and Namjoon figured that it was time to take all the rest of the kids inside too.

Once they were all inside and the kids were out of their coats and boots, Aeja made everyone hot chocolate.  The guys were all so glad to be going home the next day after all the fights and temper tantrums they’d had to deal with.

The girls weren’t as happy.  They all wanted to help plan a baby shower for Miyun (that wasn’t even happening for seven more months, but they didn’t care.)  They were all excited for one more little kid in their already cramped reunions.

After the whole snowball ordeal, the guys decided to put all the kids in the game room and let them watch a movie.  They thought this would calm them all down, but what they hadn’t expected was for them to start fighting over what movie to watch.  Xia and Ara both wanted to watch a Disney princess movie, but the boys wanted to watch Cars.  It ended with three of the five kids crying, and Jungkook and Tae deciding they would all watch the first kids tv show they could find instead.

They ended up watching Blaze and the Monster Machines, because it was the only thing on at the moment.  Thankfully, the day was more than halfway over, and most of them had to leave early in the morning, so most of them would be in bed by nine that evening.

Ireun, Xun, Yumi, and Eunjin were all in the living room watching the babies.  The triplets were crawling around on the floor, and Xun had set Taemin down on his stomach.  He clearly wasn’t enjoying it too much.  He voiced this opinion eventually with a soft cry.  Xun was quick to pick him up, and once he was in her arms, he was calm again.

Oreun was once again trying to walk around the table.  She hadn’t quite gotten the hang of walking on her own yet.  She was bouncing happily, though.  She seemed content to just cling to the table for now.  Hojin was trying to join her in standing next to the table, but he couldn’t stay up on his feet for long enough to grab the table.

At one point, he bonked his head against the table on his way down, and he burst into tears.  Ireun was quick to scoop him up and rub his head.

“You’re ok, Hojinie.” She murmured softly.

He too was cured by his mother’s magical touch and was back to crawling around on the floor in moments.

Yumi smiled down at all the babies. “Watching all of them makes me want to have another one,” she laughed.

“You should!” Xun exclaimed. “Having two is twice the fun!”

“I think having two would be twice the work,” Eunjin commented with a laugh.

“The work is worth it.”
