Ethan and Ehlana:
We had a lot of fun with Naomi and her family last night, and while Zack and Eli were there too; they didn’t take their pranks and jokes too-far. Yes, Aiden and I had to distract them with video games for hours, but we still got to have some co-ed cuddle time while watching a movie after a parental order put an end to the too-loud gaming; Zack and Eli moved on to Eli’s room instead of being ‘grossed out’ by us; and we eventually crashed and napped for the rest of the night – not accidentally in the family room instead of bedrooms! ;^)
Our Saturday has not included a lot of fun, but we were outside for a chilly Tai Chi workout; breakfast was pancakes and bacon to get us ready for a work day; and then we definitely had a fall chores day. Our parents let us work together on what ended up being six yards, so that was better than working alone. The weather warmed to the mid-eighties, so that helped a lot too; and the fun that we did have happened at lunch and during a couple of chilly cool-down swims. The work details aren’t interesting, but we can mention that Dad’s lawn tractor and attachments came in very handy and traveled some miles today while doing laps at all six of those yards. Yes, I was driving it some of the time, but we took turns doing the easier work along with the tougher jobs; and we’re all very tired tonight. We finished up everything on our collective to-do lists by six-thirty; headed for our own homes instead of doing another major group meal; and we aren’t doing any sleepovers tonight because we were all ready to just eat, get cleaned up, and crash for the night.
That’s exactly what we’ve done here at home – though Ehlana and I took care of the post-dinner clean-up before bath or Jacuzzi time. Other tweens might think that it’s crazy for us to be ready to nap so early on a Saturday night, but we’re there and really need to re-charge; so we will!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
