We mostly had a play day today. The dreary and cold Fall weather may have been a perfect setting for the mid-week day that so many think of as the longest of the week; but it has seemed to fly past for me, and even our classes today were mostly fun.
There isn’t any particularly exciting news to report today. Rowen and I came home after school, and since it wasn’t very warm outside, after doing our homework, we played with Ethan, Ehlana, and Mandy in the lounge. I’ve been thinking about Rebecca and Jenny a lot this week, – probably because of Jenny’s birthday on Monday – and while I do really miss hanging out with them, it is more fun for Ethan and Ehlana to just have Rowen here with us so that they don’t have to pretend that they can’t talk already; and we can use our Telepathy, and play and do things that we couldn’t if other kids were here too.
Mom probably doesn’t think that showing Ethan and Ehlana how to play video games by using our Telekinesis on the controllers should become part of the standard Magi training; but we did have a blast, and it is a cool way to practice both power control while doing several things at once. Dad thought it was hilarious when Ethan and Ehlana told him about it when we linked up with him for a Telepathic bedtime story while the twins had their nine o’clock feeding – especially when he found out that Ethan won two of the matches.
Rowen stayed for dinner with us, and then helped Mom with Ethan and Ehlana’s feeding while I cleaned the kitchen. She stayed for our Magi lesson, and then went home for the night. Mom and I mostly played with Ethan and Ehlana through until we put them in their cribs at twelve-thirty. That included some iPad reading time; the Telepathic chat and story with Dad; and some quiet cuddle time in the living room that included some music appreciation and related questions and answers.
It’s now heading toward one o’clock, and I’m definitely feeling tired. The email check didn’t take long, but I’ve decided to risk damaging my school rep by skipping most of my usual entertainment review. If it wasn’t for the fact that everyone knows I have the lounge, and Dad’s working in the city; I might have been able to get away with claiming ignorance because of the baseball playoffs. I haven’t paid any attention to it, but tonight was game one of the World Series. The boys may even be impressed that I know that the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers three-to-two – not that I’m at all, even remotely, interested in impressing them. Now that I think about it; that is probably why Dad seemed a bit distracted tonight. He was probably working and watching the game while talking with us.
Anyway, it’s time to get some sleep. Tomorrow – today – is going to be another long one, and we have a lot going on over the next few days – like game night; dinner and a movie on Friday; the start of Grandma and Grandpa’s trip to South America; and another Fall cleanup day on Saturday.
