I’m tired and ready to crash; mostly because I doubt that I actually got more than about three hours sleep last night; so this will be short and sweet.
I was alone for Tai Chi this morning, but Mom and Dad deserved to have a little extra sleep. I helped Ethan and Ehlana too, and had them both changed and dressed before Mom came into Ethan’s room and helped me carry them downstairs while Dad had a shower. Breakfast was quick and easy; Mom and I got ready for church while Dad and Violet took care of the twins and the light kitchen clean-up.
Rowen and I spent the rest of the day together. Our church service was barely an hour long, thanks to the continuing hot weather, and we ended up putting a picnic lunch together before taking Ethan and Ehlana to the park for a picnic and play afternoon while Mom, Dad, and Violet all planned on working in the office. That was mostly because Dad needed to get a lot of work done before heading to Crystal Springs in the morning, and Violet wanted to work on her job since she’d be taking most of Monday and Tuesday off to hang out with Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie.
Our park play included some swimming, playground action, and we watched most of a pick-up ball game while having the ice creams and drinks that we’d made a run to the Emporium for. We were home in time for me to help Mom with making dinner, and for Rowen to get ready for her family dinner plans with her grandparents. Dad and Violet only stopped their office work while we ate, so Mom and I did the cleanup too. We did a Magi lesson after that with Ethan and Ehlana; watched a cartoon with them; and then did the full bath and bedtime routine before Dad took a break for the bedtime story and snack, and Violet went to meet up with Dillon at the Inn.
I went with a shower instead of a long Jacuzzi soak, and other than a quick email check; this is the only computing I’m doing tonight. Say goodnight, Mandy. It’s time for us to have a nice, long summer’s nap, so...
...live from Witch Falls; this is Cassie and Mandy, wrapping up the first half of July, and signing off!
