Ehlana and Ethan:
The last day of March didn’t exactly go out
like a lamb when you include the ongoing, global crises that we’re living
through right now, but the weather was good today; and that’s making it tough
for some of our friends and neighbors to stick with the social isolation even
when they’re outdoors but still staying away from their favorite people as much
as possible.
Our day has been a near-repeat of yesterday
except that we fit in an after-lunch bike ride around town on the way to the
lab; and then Naomi and Aiden stayed and played in the archives with Ethan
while I had fun working in the level-four lab with Uncle Adam and Dillon. The studying and online lessons were at Naomi’s
house again; we took a picnic lunch with us for the bike ride; and pizza was
ordered in to the lab for dinner; since we stayed late again – though Naomi and
Aiden went home after staying for the food fun break. Mom and Dad joined us for dinner too – and brought
it with them; Mom stayed so that we could kick up the work in the lab a bit
with bonus Magi-powered help; and Dad did his homework in the archives while
hanging out with Ethan.
That left Cassie, Michael, and May at home
to do their studying after another day of online lectures, but they went with
the pizzeria pizza dinner too; and then they had Rebecca and Lucas stay for the
studying; since they’re dealing with online classes too. They were gone by the time we got home, since
Lucas is helping out around the farm every day too and needs to be in bed early
to keep up with everything; so we just finished a bedtime chat and snack time
in the sunroom; and now we’re ready to get some sleep. In ‘real’ terms, our day has been about
twenty-two hours long since our wake-up call for Tai Chi by the river, but
thanks to the time phasing; we’ll still get a full night of sleep too.
With the home schooling, we don’t expect
any major April Fool’s Day issues tomorrow, but that isn’t a sure thing; since
Zack and Eli do have a lot of time on their hands right now to plan their
pranks and practical jokes. We’ll let
you know how that goes with the next report, but tomorrow will likely still be
a near-repeat of today with or without bonus entertainment; so we really should
move on to the napping part of our day.
This is Ehlana and Ethan Proctor; live from
the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
