Ehlana and Ethan:
Aiden’s birthday party was a hit with his friends and family, and while we didn’t actually have a lot of time for it thanks to the school band practices and having it on a school night; we fit as much fun into those hours as we could before most of the guests headed for their homes and we wrapped up the day with a six-teen co-ed sofa sleepover that included some cuddle time and a Halloween movie. For the record, no, we did not have an all-night party at Cassie and Michael’s house; and Aiden also didn’t get a parent and sibling-free night as one of his gifts! Ethan wants me to add that Aiden liked his gifts from me the best; and is only half-joking when including the co-ed nap time as one of those best-loved gifts. I don’t want to write about any specific gifts; and we’re happy to know that Aiden did have a really good birthday that was awesome for everyone involved.
Moving along, Tai Chi by the river was an option this morning, but we soon had rain moving into town and it has been with us for most of the day since then. We were glad that rain wasn’t an issue yesterday and isn’t expected to be one for Halloween either; and it didn’t really get in the way of our plans for today. The academic adventures were short because we spent half of our school day at the church fellowship hall while helping with the seniors’ Halloween luncheon and dance. The school band was the main entertainment attraction, but Naomi and the Haunted Harmonies played two songs and there were other music or comedy entertainers; and those hours that included setting up and the tearing down were filled with fun for everyone involved.
Ethan and I managed to be finished at school on-time; we went to play at the lab or archives after that and into the early evening; and then we came home and had a late, leftovers dinner. After the fun with Aiden yesterday and Halloween ahead of us tomorrow, Mom didn’t want us to work in the office tonight; so we’ve just finished with bath or Jacuzzi time; we’re keeping our bedtime twin chat and computing to a minimum; and we’ll be heading off to sleep earlier than usual too. While we’ve done more work than play today, we’ve still had a lot of fun; and we’re feeling pretty good tonight as we wind down toward nap time. With one more sleep to Halloween and the end of the month, it also feels like another ending is here, but then that is always followed by the start of our next adventures; and we wouldn’t mind a little break in the action before the Christmas holiday season gets here along with all of those weeks of holiday fun and adventures that we get to wrap up every year with here in our little corner of the world. Unlike Hallmark, though, we don’t need to get started on that even a day before Halloween, so that’s all for tonight; and we’ll be back again tomorrow night with at least some of the stories from our imminent Halloween adventures.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
