khedronWhat did we do with our day off? Apart from sleeping in, and NOT COOKING today, thanks to all the leftovers?
Our youngest just got into LEGO Star Wars Castaways, new on Apple Arcade. It continues the long synergy of LEGO bricks and Star Wars minifigs doing all kinds of things, which is a fine combination. But... this game supports multiplayer. So A. got Jen into it, and then scope creep went on from there... 1. Setting up an old PS4 controller to work with Jen's iPad, because touch screen pseudo-joystick controls are for noobs. 2. Setting up both kids with their own iCloud accounts for both main login and Game Center, because you can't friend yourself. 3. Setting them up with their own contacts, etc.
It looks like a short list, but one of the iPads needed some fiddling, with software updates, logging out & in, reconfiguring, etc., etc. This is the sort of thing we ought to have done long ago, but 🤷‍♂️.
And what did I get as my reward? The kids took an hour and a half to each lunch (mmm, turkey sandwiches) because they spent the entire time sending each other goofy stickers in Messages, now that they could.
But now they're all playing together and having a raucous good time. And I'm going to go take a late shower or something.

(next meal...) "What should we eat?" "Leftovers!"
and yet we still have more....
