Happy 39th Birthday, Patricia!
Ehlana:
Special days for Rowen’s Mom might not
usually be a big deal for Ethan and me, but this year, she got a spa weekend
away for her birthday; some of our favorite mothers have already gone with her
on that adventure; and we – the kids – are spending the weekend with our
fathers while the adult girls get to go away and enjoy a play weekend with
their friends at an undisclosed city and hotel.
For today, that means that Ethan and I get
to have Naomi and Aiden here for the night.
Their fathers are busy with their younger siblings and probably with
some of the kid friends too, but we’ll be shared this weekend; so Naomi and
Aiden will get some time with their fathers too. That birthday surprise was given at
breakfast, so while we got ready for school; the Moms involved in the plan got
ready to meet up and head out on their trip once the kids were at school and
the husbands were off to work – or already at work for some. We had a good day at school. The weather is warming again, so playing
outside after school was an option that also kept us busy while Dad finished up
his work day at the office. Aunt Leanne
didn’t let month-end get in the way of her weekend with the girls, but it did
leave Dad and Mrs. Norton with more work to do for rental and house sale
closings or moves.
Biking and playground fun at the park has
kept us busy, but it wasn’t super-warm out either; so it’s nice to be home and
getting warmed up again. The sleepover
plans were worked out before the biking; Aiden and Naomi have already picked up
their overnight bags; and Ethan and I are just getting cleaned up and changed
before Dad gets home with our pizzeria pizza dinner. He’s a bit delayed for that, but it seems
that the pizzeria is especially busy tonight for some reason that might be
related to having extra fathers in charge of the dinner cooking tonight! ;^)
We’re doing our updates early because we’re
going to have fun with our friends for the rest of the night and not play on
our computers at all. Dad will likely
play video games with us for a while; and then we’ll watch a movie or two
before falling asleep either with a sofa sleepover for Ethan and Naomi or just
a normal sleepover in the lounge for Aiden and me. I’ll write more on that with the next report,
but it’s time for me to get going again; so that’s all for today.
The weekend away wasn’t a total surprise
for Ethan and me, but we do hope that Mom has a lot of fun – and that we have a
happy weekend with Dad and our friends too!

Ethan:
Ehlana will soon write the update you’ve
just read to get here, so you’ll at least have the basics for today, but I’m
going to skip adding my news of the day; get back to having fun; and write a
double-update tomorrow. This has been a
good day so far; it’s sure to get better through the evening; and I think we’ll
have an awesome weekend – even if that won’t be while on an amazing weekend
getaway!
May the Magi Force be with you!
