Cassie's Journal - August 15, 2012

Violet’s back.

Okay, she wasn’t actually gone, but was busy with Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie while they were taking their usual two days off from the Inn. Mostly, I just liked getting to spend a few hours with her in the office this morning while we both worked on our jobs.

That’s pretty much all I did between breakfast and lunch, and while I was working in the office; Rowen was working at the computer store. An impending major shopping trip can be very motivating! Mom and Alicia were busy all morning with taking care of Ethan and Ehlana; and working around the house. We stopped for lunch at twelve-thirty, and then Rowen came over, and she and I went canoeing for the afternoon. We went for a couple of swims, but the water is getting noticeably cooler after a few nights of dropping temperatures. We mostly paddled between home and the falls; stopped at the park for some playground action; had our afternoon snack break at the Emporium; and got home in time to play with Ethan and Ehlana for an hour or so before dinner.

Mom had her baseball practice, and Rowen and I took care of Ethan, Ehlana, and Naomi while she played with my uncles, aunts, and their friends. Now that Ethan and Ehlana can toddle around a bit in public, we’re having a lot more fun at the park and playground; and they’re definitely happy about being able to do more with Naomi. Most of the Arrows players were going to Sheldon’s after the practice, but I was out of the loop for that because Rowen and I were doing a sleepover at her house. We did find out while I was packing a bag and getting ready to go over there that Violet and Dillon were going to babysit Ethan and Ehlana so Mom could go to the pub too. I’m sure that the twins will let me know in the morning whether they went off to bed on time, or decided that they needed some cuddle time with two of their favorite teens.

I’m going to skip over all of the details about Patrick’s and Scott’s intrusions into our sleepover fun, except to note that they must have learned some new tricks from the older boys last week; and they were even more annoying than usual tonight. The good news is that Rowen’s parents eventually ran interference for us, and we’ve still managed to have a really good night. We watched a chick flick with Owen and Patricia; baked up a quick little bedtime snack; and had a little girl and Mom chat time after getting ready for bed. Since then, Rowen and I have been surfing the net on our computers and talking about everything from the shopping trip and plans for the rest of the week to speculating on what Grade Seven was going to be like. Talking about school brought us around to talking about something we’ve both mostly avoided until now – our first boy-girl birthday party with our classmates. We have absolutely no idea why Roger invited us to his party, unless he was just looking to invite the two girls who are shorter than he is for some balance. Whatever the reason, it’s probably going to be a strange day for us – especially if there’s a dance like we’ve heard rumors there will be.

We’re not sure what’s scarier about that – getting asked to dance by guys, or being there with nothing to do all night while most or all of our friends and classmates are paired up and having the kind of fun we’re not interested in experiencing anytime soon. What’s kinda funny is that our scary party worries are probably Cinderella story dreams for most of the other girls in our class.

This seems like a good time to change the subject, so we’re going to do that, and I’m going to wrap this up and get back to some surfing while we do that; so...

...live from Witch Falls; this is Cassie and Rowen, signing off!
