Ethan and Ehlana:
Let’s begin this report with a recap of the rest of yesterday.
Our kid-rated adventures began with a social hour or so as our guests for the night arrived and most of the parents took that opportunity to get ready for their night out. Pizzeria pizza was ordered for our dinner, so after some outdoor biking and play time, we had that meal in the sunroom; and we won’t mention the less-fun parts of doing that with certain guys that needed to play games and have eating and drinking contests.
After helping out with the clean-up, we still had time for a play visit to the park before dark; and then it was time for gaming in the lounge and Halloween movies in the living room. I got razzed for spending too much time with Naomi while watching movies instead of hanging out with the guys, but I just wasn’t in the mood for the practical jokes and pranks; so staying out of the way as much as possible was for the best for everyone. We collectively managed to have fun most or all of the time; so let’s skip over the cameo annoyances from last night too. We didn’t have a co-ed sofa sleepover with such a large gang in the house, but some of us still stayed up late and didn’t split up for our beds until after Mom and Dad got home from Sheldon’s. According to the news reports that were kid-friendly, Aiden’s parents had fun at their dinner and party; and we still don’t need any details from their kid-free night.
We also want to mention that Michael, Tim, and their team won again this weekend; they’re four-and-oh on the season so far; and off to a best start for their college team in quite a few years.
Moving on to the news from today, Tai Chi by the river with a small gang was fun; breakfast and getting ready for church was a crazy blast of too-busy; and then at least some of us were ready for the break during church and Sunday school. We’re enjoying the current lesson plan that Pastor John and our teachers are doing for the fall, and while we don’t cover anything that is new for us; we still enjoy the interpretations and talking about bible studies and applications for our lives.
We’ve had another awesome weather day here, so after church, we had lunch in the back yard; we helped out with some indoor clean-up; and then Mom set us free to play for the rest of the afternoon while she and Dad worked in the office. We ended up going biking with Naomi, Aiden, and parts of their families with extra friends; had an ice cream break at Aiden’s house; and then we came home in time to help Mom with making dinner. Pasta and sides worked for all of us; and then we had a work-study evening that included a Magi shielding lesson; family business work; and some music play time before we split up for bath or Jacuzzi time.
That brings us up to now; we’re ready to get some sleep soon; and that’s all we have for tonight anyway; so, until next time...
...this is Ethan and Ehlana Proctor; live from the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
