It was another yard work day, except we spent most of the
afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
Yes, most of the work was already done before they left for Arizona, but
we’ll still need to clean up leaves, cut the grass, and do other little jobs at
least until Thanksgiving; and we didn’t have time to do that at both houses
yesterday.
Between going to church and the yard work, there wasn’t much
play time – especially since Dad needed to work in the office too. I helped Mom with taking care of Ethan and
Ehlana; making dinner; and cleaning up after we ate. She did a Magi lesson with us before doing
the bath and bedtime thing with the twins; and I’ve been working in my room
since Ethan and Ehlana went to sleep.
The top news tonight is about Aunt Grace and Mark. They’re both home safely from their weekend
getaway; and I’ll guess from the tone of the email I got from each of them that
they had fun. They’re also both coming
to Witch Falls for Thanksgiving with the rest of
our family, and Aunt Grace is going to be spending Christmas with his
family. I’d say that’s all looking very
good for us and our future plans; though I suppose that taking their
relationship to the next level doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve decided to do
that here in Witch
Falls.
I had a little messaging chat with Dawn, and she and Jillian
are getting excited about spending next weekend with us; and the Haunted
Halloween walk we’ll be doing next Saturday night. They won’t be able to go to the dance with
us, but I’m sure Ethan and Ehlana will be able to keep them entertained while
Rowen and I are at the school; and Rowen’s doing another sleepover with us
after the dance. The email from Jaimie
and Kaitlyn had come in earlier today, so I only read and answered it; but
they’re both fired up about Halloween; have their costumes already; and wrote
all about their upcoming parties, including one that Uncle Blaine and Aunt
Alison are doing for their combined families and friends next Saturday night. It sounds like they’ll be having a rocking
Halloween in Granite
Park!
While I didn’t really need to do any archive or language
studying tonight, I’ve put in an hour and a half anyway to keep ahead; working
on our Magi project archive, and reading a novel in Portuguese. I want to shoot for a bit more sleep every
night this week, so I’m going to wrap this up and get to that now.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
