Life at home mostly revolved around Aunt Leanne again
today. Mom helped her out this morning;
they were both able to do a little work in the afternoon; and then there was a
morning sickness relapse by late afternoon.
Uncle Adam needed to be at the clinic after dinner, so Mom took care of
Aunt Leanne then too while Dad and I took care of Ethan and Ehlana.
It was another busy test and work day at school, and there
isn’t really anything newsworthy to report from there. Since Mom was busy with Aunt Leanne after
school, Rowen and I had Ethan and Ehlana with us for our play time. That included a little tobogganing, but the
hills are getting very icy with the rain and warm-cold temperature changes; so
sliding down the hill was a bit too much of an adventure for all of us, and
getting back up the slippery hill with toddlers in tow on the sleds wasn’t easy. Our hot chocolate break after getting home
again was more successful, and then we had fun playing in the lounge until it
was time for Rowen to go home; and for me to help Dad with making dinner while
Ethan and Ehlana supervised.
Uncle Adam stopped in to get his take-out dinner order this
time, and Mom came home to eat with us and have a little visit before heading
back over to stay with Aunt Leanne. Dad
and I took care of the kitchen clean-up, and then we juggled play and work time
for the next few hours. While Dad got
his work done, I played with Ethan and Ehlana in the office. We sat around the conference table and split
our time between some experiments with their science lab and microscopes; and a
little bonus Grade Ten project research and work.
When Dad took a break to have some play time with us too, he
brought his guitar along; we went up to my room; and had a little jam session
that included two Magi-powered toddler musicians. Ethan put a whole new spin on the term ‘air
drumming’. Maybe that’s a Magi Master
guy thing – I’ve certainly never considered using the elemental control of air
to create percussion sounds. It’s actually
an interesting way to practice your control; though it’s also a bit noisy in
the confines of a shielded room. While
Ethan was having fun with that, and Dad played guitar, Ehlana and I mostly
played my keyboard. We all attempted
some different air band instruments too, but Dad is better at playing his real
guitar; it’s easier to use our Magi power to play a digital keyboard; and creating
and playing other instruments like trumpets or saxophones out of thin air is
harder than it might sound – and ours definitely didn’t sound that great
tonight.
Our musical play time wrapped up when Mom got home
again. We did the bedtime snack and
story together; tucked Ethan and Ehlana in for the night; and I’ve been in my
room since then. I started out with some
Jacuzzi and archive study time, and continued with my language lessons after
getting into bed and cuddling with Mandy.
There was a family-business email I needed to deal with after that, but
not much else worth mentioning from the rest of my nightly computer
checks. It’s going to be a busy day
tomorrow. We’re having Uncle Adam’s
birthday dinner at the Inn, and will be
staying there for game night. I have two
more tests at school, and since Michael will likely join Rowen and I for our
lunchtime music practice, between that and spending the evening at the Inn; I’m
expecting a seventy-percent chance of tweeird in the afternoon, with the risk
of more tween drama increasing to one hundred percent by sometime after dinner.
Oh well, I suppose two consecutive drama-free days is just
too much to hope for when you’re twelve.
It’s already late, and I should get what sleep I can to be ready for all
of that, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
