Today the younger kids went to Grandma Angelina's house, their spending the night. Joey, Madi and I are here at home with mum and dad, both of which took the day off. I get the feeling they arranged this whole day on purpose, but I didn't ask. It was awesome, I'll tell you that. We got to spend time with, just the three of us, with our parents. Just.. bond the entire day. It was nice. Nothing against my younger sisters and brothers, I love each and every one of them to death, but naturally with so many kids in one house it makes it hard getting a word in when you want to. I can't remember the last time the house was so quiet, or the last time there was only a few kids around (same difference really, if you know my family).
It was probably back when Madi was the baby, whenever Emmy and Nik went to school it left Reg, Con, me and Madi at home. We also had school though, each of us. We went to this muggle school; it's my families tradition, I suppose you could say. We all attend a muggle school till the age of eleven, instead of attending a local wizarding school (it's kinda like for little kids, you don't learn anything too extremely important that your parents can't easily teach you) and once we hit eleven, we get our acceptance letter(s) and prepare to go off to a magical school.
I was going to say when Emmy, Nik and Reg were in school, but I realized then we had two new additions (Julian and Kaitlynnh) were babies in Regina's first year of Beauxbatons.
I'm trailing off a little, huh. Anyways the day was great. We all (minus mum) went to the park, dad played soccor with us for hours. When went got home, mum had dinner ready and everything. After that we were going to watch a movie, but we ended up sitting and talking. Which was even better.
I guess sometimes mum and dad feel the same way as us, that they can't always express what they want to, towards us, because they're always running around doing something else. We all agree, it's not a bad thing. Our family is HUGE, bigger than a giant (I got that from Lydia, the other day she said 'Our family tree must be bigger than a giant' which went onto her asking where the tree was, anyways..) we have our bad moments, as any family does. But we also love eachother more than life itself, no matter whether someone's mad at someone else, we're always there for one another when it matters. Basically, put more simply none of us would trade our family for the world. No matter how insane, hectic, chaotic.
Mum and dad both said they're very proud of us. Addressing us each seperately in that; mum never expected me to become a Prefect, for one. She's always had a lot of dreams and wishes for us, but that was never something she thought about for me apparently. She said it make her happy. I've proven to be a better student than she had been in her days, she thinks.
It's not that she thought I'd be a bad child or anything, it was just... she didn't ever mean to make such high goals for us in her eyes, it just happened. She doesn't want us to feel bad, or like we've failed, if we haven't met 'her standards'. I think the whole Emmy thing made her realize that. Mum and Emmy have always had a rough relationship, ever since she turned ten, when Stephan came into her life. It wasn't too bad, till he died two years later. That's when things went down hill and fast.
Mum's reaction to Ems getting married right after graduating, and then baby Lainie not too long afterward wasn't the best; she really hadn't thought of Emmylyne's feelings, she had such high hopes for her first child's life, it clouded her brain. They get along loads better now, and mum tries being understanding towards everything now, atleast at first. I think sometimes she had gotten jealous of her mum, because her kids were always excited and loved going over to see Grandma Angelina.
I'm glad she learned from the thing with Emmy, it really came in handy when Nikolas got married rather young (still older than Ems had been) not that we don't all adore Jasmine, and when Regina decided she wanted to move out to america summer after graduation.
No need to tell me (hehe, yeah right) I know, I'm falling off track again. Not surprisingly, our parents asked mostily about school. Joey and Madi were bugged about if they were seeing anyone, or if they had any crushes. Curt came up in the conversation too. No ones caught Joseph's eyes so far, frankly I'm not shocked. His head is always in books, he concentrates on learning and keeping up with everyone in our year. I'm amazed after just a year and ALOT constant studying, he is at the level he should be.
As for Madi, that was probably the very first time I've ever seen her face color like it did. Which, she did try hiding. She does, infact, have a crush. The thing is it's her best friend Rosalie's older brother Elijah. I've met the family before, their very nice. Madison seys she cannot like him, it goes against the best friend code. Mum and I both rolled our eyes, since that's incredibly silly. Joey told us not to encourage her, he's still getting use the idea of having his sister's date and he doesn't want another added onto that just yet. Dad laughed. After that, mum and dad starting reminiscing about when we were just little toddlers, which lead to other memories. Joey didn't know alot, for obvious reasons if you knew his past. He really seemed to enjoy hearring all about it, perhaps that's why mum started crying. I think it was also because she wished he could have been with us the whole time. Plus, mum's been more emotional than usual. It was surprising we didn't all cry from laughing so hard, too. I'll never ever forget when Conner and Wyatt accidentally blew up the kitchen. Mum's reaction, oh I thought multiple times she was just going to literally blow up too, just like the kitchen had.
Okay, I should go. I have to get up in five hours, we're going to Grandma Angelina's bright and early. I have to write one more thing: This morning dad was on the computer, and Madi was bugging him so I went over to see what they were doing. My sis was just asking about it, what it does and stuff, so he let us sit down while he explained, I got to play with the controller; dad calls it a 'mouse' funny.. it doesn't squeak. Anyways, you would think since I grew up around muggles and whatnot that I would know how everything made by them works. Well, I don't. Not everything. That contraption was just as confusing as the one that plays the movie, except instead of not being able to start it, I thought I broke it. The screen went black! And the power sound went away. What was I suppose to do? I started yelling for my dad. It turned out not to be my fault, Madison had pushed the wrong button. Her fault, not mine. Dad got the thing to come alive again, but killing it once was good enough for me.
