Ethan:
Today has felt a bit like a repeat of
yesterday except Mom had her co-ed ball practice instead of Ehlana’s practice
yesterday. It was hot again; we had a
bit of storming in the afternoon; and our evening has included some studying
and a lesson with Mom before Ehlana and I wrapped up our day with our bedtime
chat. I’m tired; don’t want to do any
extra reading; and don’t have anything else to add to this update; so that’s
all I have for today.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
I had fun working in the lab this morning;
and we had a fun play afternoon – even with the rain delay and some annoyances
from Miles and some of the other boys.
The easy-dinners are getting a bit boring after three days of them, but
we had fun at the park tonight while Mom was busy with her ball practice. We hung out at the playground; went for a
swim; and watched part of Mom’s practice – though she doesn’t have quite as
much fun at that when Dad isn’t with her.
Funny, I could say the same thing about
Naomi and Ethan, but it’s a bit early to scare them with comments like that
one. Okay, only Ethan would be scared –
and not really; but it’ll be a few years before Naomi’s parents will be ready
to marry her off to my brother; so we’ll have to be happy to be kids and best
friends for a while longer – like another decade and change.
That’s funny too, since Cassie and Rowen
weren’t that much older than we are now when they joked about getting Uncle
Adam to create an antidote to keep them from crossing over and liking boys
instead of thinking that they’re gross and disgusting creatures; but then we
have friends that would be interested in that antidote now – and I’ll use Miles
as a prime example for why we’d want that!
For the record, I’m not picking on Miles
because I ‘like’ him, if you know what I mean; since Aiden is that guy for
me. Miles just annoys all of the girls
our age. Maybe that’s his special gift –
the ability to annoy girls with his Neanderthal beliefs in the superiority of
the male half of the population!
Maybe instead of an antidote for boys; I
should find a way to week out that Neanderthal gene instead! I’m sure that all women would appreciate that
– possibly even more than a cure for the common cold!
We’ve had a long day, though, and I need to
get some sleep before I’ll be ready to try to find a cure for anything while at
the lab tomorrow morning. I’ll only have
one more chance to work there this week; since we’ll be busy on Friday with our
birthday and the trip to the city. That’s
going to feel like the start of the fun for our summer holidays because it’s
our first outing, but while this first week of the summer hasn’t been birthday
or holiday-weekend-exciting; I am having fun pretty much all of the time. I’m also happy to be at the lab a lot now
that we don’t have to play normal kids at school for the next couple of
months. I won’t be able to write about
any of that work for my ‘what I did this summer’ report in September, but I’m
sure we’ll have enough to write about by then – even if I can’t tell most of my
friends about our efforts to cure colds and everything else we’re doing at the
lab.
Writing about early bedtimes won’t work for
that report either; but it’s what I’m going to get to now; so that’s it for
tonight.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
