Ethan:
I’m taking a break from our video gaming
for this update, but have Zack and Caleb in the room; so I’ll keep this short.
We had fun this morning with the extra Tai
Chi buddies and breakfast with a gang of kids.
After that, Ehlana, Naomi, Aiden, and I met up with our friends for
biking – once we’d helped with the clean-up and chores; and Mom and Dad had
parental support for the younger kids.
We biked the long way around the path to the park; played there for a
while; and then had more play time at home with all of our friends – and we had
them with us for lunch too. More park
and biking fun followed; and then Ehlana and I had to come home in time to get
ready to go over to Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s house. Babysitting central is at their house, but
Ehlana and I aren’t staying overnight because we want to be home for Mom’s
birthday in the morning.
That is why we have babysitting services
tonight – the parents are out for dinner and a birthday party for Mom at the
pub. Tonight is also spring dance night
at the school; so our babysitters were Dillon and Violet for dinner; and now
Grandpa Andrew and Grandma Christine have us for the rest of the night – and they’ll
be here overnight. I’m keeping Zack and
Caleb busy with the gaming, since our babysitters are tired after a long day at
the Emporium; and the girls are watching a movie in the living room. Bedtime won’t be far off; though Ehlana and I
will stay up until Mom and Dad come to get us on their way home – and help out
by keeping ears open in case our cousins need us while the grandparents nap.
I’m not including any major details, but we’ve
had a really good first day of our break from school; and that’s the only
really important news. That’s also all I
have for now; and it’s time to get back into the video gaming again – before Caleb
gets upset by Zack’s knack for bragging about his gaming skills a bit too-much.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Ethan skipped the news about the girls
winning a bike race over the guys this morning, but then he let us do that when
we sprung that surprise on the boys; so he didn’t care about winning or losing –
even if some of the other guys really did have a problem with our sneak attack
that allowed us to get the lead and then block most of the boys from getting
past us on the bridge or path leading up into the park from the west side of
town.
That was a highlight of my morning – though
I helped out with blocking the way while Caroline led the ‘breakaway’ to the
top of the hill and the win.
Ethan’s covered the rest of our day to now;
so I only need to add that our movie time was appropriately-rated for Brianna
and Faith; I already have them tucked in for the night and sleeping; and now I’m
waiting for Ethan to join me in my room once he’s finished getting Zack and
Caleb settled down for the night. I’m
going to wrap this up and have a bedtime vid-chat with Naomi; and then do some
research work while hanging out with Ethan and wafting for Mom and Dad to get
back from the pub and take us home.
I’ll get to that vid-chat now; so stay
tuned for our next updates; and we’ll have all of the best news from Mom’s
birthday adventures – not including any that might be happening now or later
that we will not want to know about or report in our journals. ;^)
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
