Ethan:
Our movie night was a great way to end a
play day; some of us fell asleep while cuddled together during the second
movie; and no, Naomi and I did not have a sofa sleepover – even though we would
have been okay with that.
We started out day with Tai Chi and
breakfast for six; church and Sunday school was a bit on the quiet side; and
then Mom, Ehlana, and I played at the lab this afternoon while Dad had some
quiet time to get his weekend homework finished. Dinner was at the Inn – the late buffet;
there was some more work and studying after that – including a Magi lesson for
Ehlana and me with Mom; and we just finished with the bath or Jacuzzi time part
of our bedtime routine.
There’s more news from Cassie and Michael, but
I’ll leave that to Ehlana; call it a night; and get started on my nap time.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
The Cassie and Michael news is actually
from last night. They had their study
afternoon at the college library; went out to dinner with some of their
friends; played at the Rec Center for a few hours; and then went out to a
dance-party at one of the residential halls because Cassie had promised to do
that despite not really wanting to go.
Philippe intruded on as much of Cassie’s day as possible – starting with
hanging out in the library despite the fact that he wasn’t being included in
Cassie’s study group anymore and sitting in one of the Rec Center lounges to
try and watch her all of the time while she was playing racquetball with her
friends.
Drama levels kicked up a few notches at the
dance. Philippe followed them there –
whether by following them or finding out where they were going to be earlier in
the day or week; and he stupidly tried to get up-close-and-personal with Cassie
yet again in a handsy sort of way. You
can guess how well that ended for him – especially when he’s still recovering
from his last round of injuries, but Cassie played nicer than she should have
and didn’t break anything else while still letting him know that his comments
and touching her in any way wasn’t something that she was going to put up with
ever again. Unfortunately for Philippe,
that wasn’t the end of his problems because he’d apparently gone to the dance
with Pamela; she found out a few things about how he’d really gotten injured on
Thursday that she hadn’t known; and then she’d kicked him while he was down –
literally.
I seriously need to do a bit of penance for
enjoying this latest drama story too much, but Philippe had all of that coming
to him and probably then some. Oh wait –
Pamela slapped him rather hard across the face too after the kick in a place
that’s very sensitive for guys; and then he had the added embarrassment of a
lot of witnesses with smart phones in hand capturing the moment as he got
served by a couple of girls. Cassie and
Michael were done with the dance after that, but they convinced their friends
to stay – including Tim and Rowen – while they went home for the rest of the
night – to Michael’s townhome.
That’s all of the drama news I have for
them because Cassie, Michael, Rowen, and Tim stayed home today – except for
going to church this morning. They had a
quiet day that was all about resting up while they could; and that was partly
because of the problems on Saturday and also because they’ll need to get into
mid-term exams prep mode now. It’s hard
to believe that we’re already getting close to the half-way mark of this
semester, but that also means that we’re getting close to March Break; so that’s
something awesome to look forward to next month – though we’d like it better if
Cassie and Michael had the same week off that we get this year.
That’s something to write about in a few
weeks, though, so I’ll wrap up my side of this update now too; and get some
sleep.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
