The memories to come

Chp. 6

*4 days later* (Apr 7)
Aria's pov:
Today, the entire family and I were going out to dinner. In total, there would be fourteen of us. My dad, my mom, my brother Sloan, his wife Sophia, their three kids, Kris, our five kids, and I have a family dinner every once in a while. I changed into an emerald green blouse and dress pants from the dirty work clothes that I was wearing. Taking my hair out of the ponytail that it was in, I brushed my hair, before putting it into a bun.

Kris was in the other room, helping Charlotte get ready as the other kids got ready themselves. After Kris finished helping Charlotte, I braided her hair, tying the end with a black rubber band. After everybody had finished getting ready, we got into the car, driving to the restaurant that we go to every month.

After I had bathed the girls, I sat them in a line, before I did each of their hair. Aurora's hair, I did a simple braid, Alexandra's hair, I did a fishtail braid, Sienna's hair, I did a French braid, and in Charlotte's hair, I did a Dutch braid. I typically braid the girl's hair while it is still wet, since it will be wavier in the morning. After I tied off Charlotte's hair, it was time for Kris and I to put the kids to bed since they have school tomorrow.

*a day later* (Apr 10)
I walked into Aurora and Alexandra's room, going over to their wardrobe to pull out clothes for them to wear to school. I pulled out a Ron Jon surf shop shirt that we got in Key West, Florida last summer and a pizza planet shirt from Disneyland. Digging through the second drawer of their dresser, I pulled out a pair of jean shorts for Alexandra and some regular black shorts for Aurora. I folded each thing, before putting them onto the trunks in front of each girls' bed. I then went into their closet, pulling the white vans out of both of their shoe holders. At around seven o' clock, I woke the girl's up since Cole had been up since six thirty. After the girl's had gotten ready, I brushed their hair, making sure to get all of the tangles out. I parted Alexandra's hair down the middle, beginning to French braid her hair on the left side. Securing it with a black hair tie, I proceeded to do the other side. I made sure everyone's agenda was signed before zipping up all five of the kids' bags, helping Sienna and Charlotte put theirs on. We then left the house and I drove them to school, telling each of them to have a good day.

While the kids were at school, I had to go to work at the local cafe that I was a barista at. Driving home, I pulled into the driveway, before quickly running into the house so I could change into my work uniform. I grabbed my apron off of the kitchen counter, before running back out to my car. I got in, driving to work, parking behind the building when I arrived.
