"Daddy! You promised you'll play pretend with me today!"

Yosra said while pouting her lips, she always does this. This girl wants to have what she wants and if you don't give it to her all hell would breaks loose. 

"You have three older brothers to play with what do you need me for?"

I joked at her, gaining an eyeroll. She looks at her brothers who's busy creating a fort in our backyard. Today is the start their school break, I decided to take a few weeks of work just to spend time with my kids. 

"They wouldn't let me join... they said I'm too 'girly'. Why can't you just make another baby. They were 5 when mom gave birth to me."

She complained, my daughter is too smart and sassy for her age. Speaking of pregnancy, Zy and I decided not to get her tubes ligated. Zyraj did not wanted it because she said she don't know if she would want to have more kids in the future, which I obviously supported. She just gets implanted by a birth control of some shit, I'm not really sure because it's a discussion for females. Yosra's idea is something I might want to discuss with Zyraj. 

"You could tell her mom, I'm just donating but I'm not the one getting pregnant princess."

"I already did, she said she'll think about it."

"Dad... what are you going to donate? Can you give it to mom already, maybe she doesn't want me to have a baby sister because she's embarrassed to ask you."

I mentally slapped myself, how am I going to explain myself this kind of stuff to my child, and did I heard that correctly? My princess already asked Zy to have another child? What does she think about all of this? Is she considering taking out her implants?

"Uuuhhh it's a seed princess. Mom and dad are like farmers you know? We plant something and then take care of the seed so it grows, when it's ready then the seed will come out to the world."

I explained, whew that was a close one huh? Stupid Exequiel.

Zyraj and I planned to have a road trip since our children was on their school break. We're going to our vacation house. It's near a lake. We usually go there when the children don't have class. It became our tradition...

We would use our family car and I'll drive it for about 4 hrs. We used to bring the nannies of the kids but now that they're older, it's just us 6. It's our family time since we don't get to have much time since the boys are occupied with school and their extracurricular activities. It's fun to drive across the country with my family, hearing my boys bicker and my girls being annoyed how noisy they could get.

Usually, we stop at a grocery about an hour away from our house to buy food we need for more than a week, since our house is pretty secluded and it's far from civilization. We like to camp, hike, fish and swim. Our house has the perfect location, beside the lake and a few miles from the mountain. The boys love to go there during their school's off, as for our princess not so much because she said it's tiring and gross. But I know she loves it. She's just to stubborn to admit it.

We'll go there tomorrow morning, the kids has no idea yet. It's our surprise for them. Zy already instructed their nannies to prepare their clothes that they will need for a couple of days. I know she's busy preparing for the food that we're going to bring because we usually do stop overs, so the kids could stretch their legs and run around. We also do picnics on the side of the road. 

It's fun doing simple things with my family.
