I have pages now, with links to get to them and everything.

I think that alone, with all the effort I had to go to should count as my writing entry, but I’ll write something too… :)

 What was supposed to be a simple video of our beautiful daughter starting her first day of school, turned into the video documentary of a lifetime.

The day started out rather hectically, as one might imagine. Steven and I had both planned to go into work late so that we could walk our sweet little Patricia to her first day of school.

She had been excited the night before and had had difficulty getting to sleep. As a result, she was a little cranky this morning.

We managed to get most of her breakfast into her and only had a few minor spills.

We packed her lunch box and her back-pack and made sure not to forget Bibbit, her beloved stuffed frog.

Off we went, down the three blocks to the school yard.  Steven had a Go-Pro strapped to his shoulder so we wouldn’t have to miss a single moment. The sun was shining on the colourful leaves and the birds were singing; it was a beautiful autumn morning. Not a cloud in the sky.

We arrived at the school yard, is seemed, at about the same time as everyone else. Many young faces, eager to begin a new chapter of learning, and many more older faces there to encourage the youngsters.

I suppose with all the chattering, it’s no wonder that no one noticed the birds had stopped chirping. But they had.

Everyone was so concerned with lunchboxes and teddy bears and dirty faces, that no one even took much notice when the sun grew dull.

People did start to take notice when a low pitched HUMMMMM grew louder and louder, and as the once bright morning grew darker and darker.

The crowd took a great deal of notice once they looked up to see a hovering disc, the size of a city block floating above our heads.

There were no lights to be seen. Parts of the disc seemed to be spinning, while others seemed to be still. It was most peculiar.

The children began to scream. The adults who could keep their wits about them, did their best to calm their offspring.  Everyone hurried for some type of safety.

Steven and I scooped up Patricia and clung to each other, unsure where safety might be found. 

The yelling continued. Some folks ran to cars, others to nearby houses.

I looked at Steven, and although I saw some fear in his eyes, I saw mostly excitement. We both looked at Patricia, and to our amazement, she was smiling, excited for what was happening.

The Humming was very loud by that time and we seemed to be the only family still in the school yard.

The very centre of the disc began to move, shimmy and spin.  We didn’t know what to expect next. Possibly a beam of light, or a weapon?

Neither Steven nor I were about to leave until we knew, and it was all we could do to keep Patricia from running to get a better look.

Our questions were answered, but even more jumped into our minds when, from the center, came a wave of heat, or energy, and there, in front of us, stood a smallish, greenish being. About the same height as Patricia, wide eyes, tufts of purple stringy hair, carrying a raggedy looking stuffed thing, and a small colourful box.

Patricia then broke loose of our grip, and ran to the being, stopping just in front of them.

“Hello” she said. “Is this your first day too?”

True story, it’s all on Steven’s GoPro

I could, and maybe should go on, but for now, I’ll leave it there.

Hope you enjoyed.
