We’re back to the usual daily routine now that Easter is past, and the next holiday weekend is nearly two months away.
In local news, Patrick had his ninth birthday last Monday, and I helped him celebrate by having Rowen stay at my house for a sleepover while he had his buddies at their house. We didn’t escape the birthday party and dinner, and managed to get through the experience without using our Magi powers on any of the boys. Talking about what we could have done to them did provide some bedtime entertainment, and by morning, we were ready to wade back into the boy-zone and help Rowen’s parents with getting Patrick and his friends fed and off to school.
We had another birthday boy in our class this week too, but twelfth birthdays haven’t started to be co-ed yet, so Gil’s party on Thursday didn’t affect the social schedule for Rowen and me. We did get him a card and small gift, like we did for all of our friends and classmates, and he got razzed about it just like the rest of the guys did on their birthdays. I’m not sure whether to be glad that this phase will be over for the boys soon or afraid of what comes next!
Moving on from that thought, I’ve been keeping busy all week; juggling school, the family business, Magi lessons, archive and language studies, and the rest of my usual work and play. Dad’s been busy all weekend getting ready for his week in the city; though we managed to fit in a couple of hours of yard work between raindrops on Saturday. Rowen’s parents were busy with the height of tax season all weekend, so she helped them out as much as she could, and we didn’t get to spend much time together.
That doesn’t sound like a very exciting week, but I got a lot done, and did have fun. I’ve also had late nights nearly every day, and am ready to get some extra sleep tonight, so...
