Ethan and Ehlana:
Our last day of August has been a good one – especially for the girls involved in the back-to-school shopping trip today. Mom and Aunt Leanne didn’t try to do a major event this time, but we still did a breakfast at the Inn; and had a small convoy of vehicles heading toward the city after that awesome meal break that included shoppers that weren’t officially part of ‘our’ gang. The shopping was definitely better for the teen, tween, and kid girls. For me, the fun level was limited because Aiden and I were put together with Zack and Eli; and they were more-interested in goofing off and annoying the girls than in getting new clothes for school and the fall. We did our best to run interference and keep them out of trouble, but since we’re not allowed to use our Magi talents in public; there was only so much we could do! ;^)
We did eventually get some new clothes and shoes, the usual gifts for upcoming birthdays and other celebrations, and the bulk supplies that we usually get during trips to the city. Let’s not mention the food court lunch that was a bit of a disaster thanks to the top-two pranksters in the mall; and we were good with getting fast food to go after leaving Wal-Mart. When we got home, a few of the Moms and daughters opted for a quick last round of shopping fun at Palmer’s and Taylor’s stores, but we had Dads around to help us with unloading the minivans; and I was really glad for a break from Zack and Eli by then. So was Aiden; and that’s why he headed for his own home as soon as possible. Mom and Ehlana were on their own when they got home – except for a stop for goodnight hugs and kisses from Naomi that yes, was mostly for me. We were all tired by then, so our bedtime chat was short and then three of us were in need of bath or Jacuzzi time.
Let’s not comment on what Dad was interested in helping Mom with while using their Jacuzzi! ;^)
Quit laughing, Ehlana – one of us doesn’t need to think about whether my perspective would be different if Naomi had been using your Jacuzzi tonight too!”
Moving along, that’s all we – or I – have for this update. While Ehlana goes to sleep now; I’ll likely go to my room and stare at the ceiling and try not to think about Naomi and Jacuzzis for the next hour or six!
Thanks so much, sis!
Until next time, this little blast from your near or distant past is written for you with love from Ethan and Ehlana Proctor – twin junior Magi Masters of the Light!
