Ethan:
We’ve had a really great day, and while
there was a bit of rain here and there too; it was another warm fall day too.
Halloween was the only news of the day at
school; and we had fun with the games and activities that were our lessons for
the day. Doing that with our friends was
the best part of our school day; and then Ehlana and I were at the lab after
school through until we got home late for dinner. I worked in the archives and Ehlana played in
the lab with Uncle Adam and Dillon, and while our spouses or parents were as
amused as usual by our tardiness; Ehlana and I managed to nearly-finish our
late dinner by the time Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne brought Zack and Brianna
over for a special Magi lesson with us.
They were happy to split Olde Bakery
desserts with us; and then it was time to play.
Magi-powered pumpkin carving is fun, and while that wasn’t a first for
most of us; Mom just made it more-challenging for the more-experienced kids by
having us carve very small pumpkins.
Zack had too much fun with the ‘guts’ of his pumpkin, but Dad and Uncle
Adam kept that from getting out-of-hand-messy; and we had some Transmutation
fun that included experimenting with color changes and other not-really-spooky
fun. Zack and Brianna were taken home
after that; Ehlana and Mom opted for some Jacuzzi fun; and Dad and I worked in
the office for a while until it was time for all of us to get some sleep.
I’m ready to do that now, since we do have
one more fun-filled day of Halloween adventures ahead of us; and I get the
feeling we’ll need the rest to keep up with all of the scary-good
entertainment!
Don’t be afraid, though, because special
agents Draper and Proctor will be on-duty tomorrow; ready to protect our
favorite alien princesses from all of the goblins, ghouls, and monsters! ;^)
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Thank-you, Ethan – for that marvelous
update!
Hocus Pocus references never get old at
Halloween – especially when you’re only seven!
Ethan really has covered most of the news
for today; so I’ll just add a comment or three about our work in the lab.
The experiment failed again, but there was
some success too; and we managed to keep the reaction temperature down below a
level that would be fatal to the ‘host’ cell.
The transport vector – a vapor – also successfully penetrated the cell
with our ‘cure’ formula too; so the failure was that it lost the fight to the
virus. We’re on the right track for sure
now, though; and I mean that we’re really close to getting it figured out. Our friends won’t ever know that I’m involved
in that project – or most of them won’t find out, but even if they did; I doubt
they’d think that what I’m doing at the lab is more-exciting than all of the
Halloween fun we’re having.
Ethan’s right about us needing sleep to be
ready for the party, Haunted House, and trick-or-treating tomorrow, and after
the quality play time in my Jacuzzi; I’m ready to get that sleep. I’ll confirm that we really have had a fun,
happy day; and I get the feeling that we’re in for another awesome, final day
of Halloween adventures before we’ll have to get back to life as normal.
Okay, that’s relative for a family of Magi
in our amazing little town, but you know what I mean; and I’ll actually be
ready for a bit of comparative-quiet so that we can rest up for Thanksgiving
and the Christmas holidays. For right
now, I just want to rest up; so that’s all I have for tonight.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
