They'll miss out on the Halloween fun at home and the rest of the high school football season, but all of that time in tropical paradises will likely be worth those little sacrifices! Some favorite grandparents will be away for adventures in Arizona or elsewhere too, but our favorite Magi staying at home are sure to have a lot of fun anyway. We'll have all of the adventure highlights from home and away right here for you each day; so... ...Visit Witch Falls often to keep up with all of our latest stories; and Happy Reading! P.S. Thank-you to everyone enjoying our stories from Witch Falls as we have passed five-hundred thousand views!

Cassie's Journal - Nov. 20, 2011

I know I’m supposed to keep up with this every day, Mom, but it’s been a busy week; and shocking as it may be, even I run out of steam sometimes!

With Dad in Crystal Springs, we’ve had a fairly quiet, if busy week at home. We’ve probably done a few more Magi lessons than usual; mostly because we won’t be able to do as many next week over the Thanksgiving holiday. Mom and I had our hands full with Ethan and Ehlana, work, and for me; school. Everyone else had plans for Friday night, so dinner and a movie was cancelled this week. Rowen stayed for a sleepover instead, and that was fun even though we decided to go to bed early after finding out that we both had a lot of chores booked for Saturday at our respective homes to get ready for the incoming holiday crowd. Mom, Dad, Aunt Leanne, Uncle Adam, and I were also going to spend a couple of hours at Grandma and Grandpa’s house getting it ready for them too.

Today was definitely the best day of the past week, and that was all because Grandma and Grandpa got home from Brazil. They barely made it back to town in time for the buffet, so we met them, Aunt Leanne, and Uncle Adam at the Inn for dinner. Grandpa seemed happier to see all of that great food than he was to see us; but I’m pretty sure he was just teasing Ethan, Ehlana, and me about that. He did have amazing stories to tell us while we had dinner, and then we all went to their house to help them unpack and continue our little reunion.

So other than a bit more detail about my work on the family business, Magi lessons; the seemingly endless rounds of cleaning, cooking, and baking; and what little bit of playtime Rowen and I managed to fit into the week; you haven’t missed much around Witch Falls. With just three days until the start of Thanksgiving; that is definitely about to change!
