Ethan, Ehlana, and I finally got to spend some quality time with Aunt Deborah and Nick tonight for the first time since their engagement. Thankfully, Aunt Leanne had previously grilled Aunt Deborah about the details that the kids in the house didn’t need to know about the birthday night in the city; but Ehlana and I were happy to hear the proposal story during dinner, and she opted for movie cuddle time with Deborah and Nick too while Ethan split his time between Mom and Dad and Aunt Leanne and Uncle Adam.
Rowen and I had a good day at school, but she was busy tonight, so after getting my homework out of the way, I took Ethan and Ehlana out for a walk to the park for some fresh air, and then helped Mom with making dinner until Dad and Aunt Leanne got home from the office. I miss getting to go out to dinner and a movie night, but it really doesn’t make sense for us to haul everything the twins need around just for a change of scenery when everything else is the same.
Since it’s October, we’ll be doing Halloween movies all month; and tonight’s feature was Hocus Pocus – one of my all-time favorites. Is there anyone who doesn’t love the Sanderson sisters - especially Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker? They definitely managed to put a spell on the group of Magi in our living room for a couple of hours!
Tomorrow is going to be an all-day yard work adventure at more than just our house, so when Mom needed to go nurse the twins, our company headed for home, and I was set free to enjoy a little Jacuzzi action before climbing into bed and working on my computer for a while. There wasn’t much on the email or work front to deal with; I’ll leave the entertainment news check for Sunday night; and once I finish this, it’s definitely time for lights out. Dad keeps trying to convince me that fall cleanups are fun and exciting, but the only way that’s actually true is if we’re comparing it to something worse – like a year ago when we were all busy trying to keep a certain Dark Magi Master from crashing Mom and Dad’s plane. Now that I’m thinking about that; yard work is suddenly looking really great!
