We’ve really had a beautiful spring day,
and while our teachers didn’t let that get in the way of piling more work on
us; the weather did help out with making the rest of my day really great.
Tai Chi by the river was awesome; being
outdoors for lunch had all of the kids and teens at school in a great mood; and
the best parts of my day started once we were set free for the weekend.
We had no plans for the night, so Michael,
Tim, Rowen, and I went out for a bike ride until dinnertime. That was mostly because Ethan and Ehlana were
already hanging out with Naomi and Aiden; and didn’t need us to help out with
keeping them entertained. While hanging
out with Rowen and Tim was an option for after dinner too; we decided that we
were all more interested in some couples’ alone time than in having a movie or
game night at one of our houses. Since
their parents were working at the store anyway, that non-plan worked for Rowen
and Tim; and they probably got to the play time for two part of their evening
long before Michael and I did.
Dinner was a barbeque with cold salad
sides; and we had that meal out on the back porch. Dad had done the grilling; Mom had made the
salads up earlier in the day; and the clean-up was easy – even with just a
two-teen crew with twin supervisors.
That left lots of play time; so we all went out for a walk that included
the usual front porch visits and some playground time at the school. After getting home again, Mom and Dad opted
for a bit of work in the office to hopefully get ahead on the weekend homework;
so Michael and I took Ethan and Ehlana in tow to the lounge and we watched a
movie together.
That was fun, but the Michael and me time
after we took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana tucked in for the night was both
fun and quite a bit hotter! We both have
a busy day ahead of us tomorrow, so we didn’t have hours available to us; but
we took full advantage of the time we did have before we went downstairs to
have a micro visit with Mom and Dad when it was time for Michael to go
home. By the time I finished saying
goodnight to Michael out on the front porch in a mostly non-verbal sort of way;
Mom and Dad were ready to head for bed too; so we all came up to our rooms.
They’re not sleeping, but I plan to be
soon; and we don’t need to ponder what Mom and Dad are doing instead.
I’ve done my basic nightly computer and
email checks, and since we really do have a lot to do starting first thing in
the morning; that’s all I have for tonight.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
