Ethan and Ehlana:
We had a blast last night with what ended up being a short bike ride followed by a lot of kid play time on either side of a family-and-friends’ dinner as quite a few members of the Johnson clan came home for the weekend and we helped to keep the kids entertained. Along with the outdoor fun, we also hosted a movie night that was both in the living room and lounge; and that allowed the families to take turns visiting with Christina and her family and new baby. For the record, babies are not boring, but Christopher did not impress most of his kid-cousins for very long beyond getting to meet him; and that’s why we were needed to keep them busy the rest of the time.
While a major sleepover was considered for last night, we didn’t end up doing that because the Johnson clan cousins opted for quieter options – with Leah, Sebastian, Zack, and Brianna getting most of the kids at their homes. That worked for us, since we got to do a co-ed sofa sleepover with Naomi and Aiden; and they were very happy to do that with us too! Getting to start today with them was great too from waking up in pairs through Tai Chi by the river with Mom and Dad and then a hot breakfast-for-six. There were chores to do after that, and we kept busy at three homes until late-morning, but then we helped out with another major meal that the Carringtons hosted; and then we’ve been on kid-duty since then.
It is now late-afternoon, and we’re getting cleaned up before helping with the dinner prep work. There is a good chance that the sleepovers tonight will be for teens and tweens here and younger kids at the Ayres’ home, but whatever we decide, we’ll be helping out with the kids all evening anyway; and don’t expect to have time for any computing again tonight. We have had a happy afternoon that included canoe rides, biking, and park playground adventures. That trend is sure to continue tonight; so we’ll have all of those stories for you in a month-end update tomorrow night! For now, we need to get back to work, so that’s all for this report.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
