Although the invitation to a neighborhood welcoming party for the new family on the block was a tad late, it didn’t stop Isabelle from being excited about it. She had been up since around six thirty in the morning because she couldn’t sleep. And since she couldn’t sleep, she spent that time in the basement painting. She had created a few new arts in the hours she had spent in that room alone and put them to dry so she could go clean up and get to her daily routine of rituals and small spells. Moving about the house she put on a pot of water to make herself a cup of tea after she got out of her quick shower. Normally her showers lasted around thirty minutes after she had been painting for hours but since she didn’t have as much paint on herself as usual it didn’t take nearly as long to get all of it off. With her hair still damp, Isabelle glanced at the time. Only eleven forty five? She huffed a sigh as she wrapped her hair up in a towel and went down to make herself that cup of tea. She turned the hissing tea kettle off and pour some of the contents into a mug that held her favorite blend of herbs for tea. She took a strong sniff of her brew and smiled. With that she headed back upstairs to her bedroom where she found her husband still in bed. A slightly wicked smile curved her full lips as she tip toed over to the bed and poked him in the rear with her right big toe. “Sweetie…Thaaaaad…it’s time to get uuuuuup~” She cooed, trying to coax him from his deep slumber. After it didn’t work Isabelle pursed her lips slightly to the side and tilted her head as she watched him sleep. Thaddeus had always been a heavy sleeper, although when the kids were infants he got less sleep that Isabelle did. That was probably because she would wake him up every time she heard one of them crying. Pushing her thoughts aside, Izzy set the still hot mug of tea down on her bedside table and went to get dressed for the day. Taking her robe off she put it back on the hook that where it usually hung and opened her walk in closet.
She bit in her lower lip for a moment and let the flesh slide from her teeth before stepping in and picking out something simple. A cute blue dress that went down to her mid-thigh and a pair of white wedge heels. The heels she chose had a little strap across the ankle with a white bow attached to that. Along with the dress and heels, Izzy grabbed a white leather jacket to go with the outfit in case she got cold during the party. After dressing she went about putting on a little bit of natural make up, eye shadow that complimented her eyes and red lipstick that was made from fruit paste. Looking at her hands she frowned, her nails looked terrible. With a grimace, the tall Kavanagh mother took her wedding ring off and polished it with a solvent she had made then washed it and her hands before drying it and her hands and placing the ring back on its rightful finger. Her nails needed tending as well so she spent the next thirty minutes painting her nails the same shade of blue as the dress she was wearing. All the while, Thaddeus was still sleeping. It was a wonder all of the smells didn’t wake up or all of the noise she had been making. Looking back down to her nails she realized they would take awhile to dry, naturally, so she murmured a spell and blew on her fingertips. Lightly tapping each one afterwards to make sure it was completely dry. Satisfied, she smiled and moved back to the bed and shook Thaddeus gentle. “Thaddeus, dear, it’s time to get up.” She spoke softly but loud enough to rouse him. When he actually started to steer she smiled at him, sitting on the edge of the bed which really on resulted in big, strong arms being wrapped around her mid-section and trying to pull her onto the bed.
Isabelle laughed a squeak of surprise then lightly slapped his arm. “You need to get up. I’ll make you coffee.” She said giggling as she wiggled free from his arms and picked up her mug that now held cold tea. She grimaced then waved her hand clockwise over the rim of the mug and muttered a spell that heat the tea back up to the perfect temperature. Taking a sip of her tea she sighed a little sigh of satisfaction. She gave her husband one more stiff shake to make sure he didn’t fall back to sleep then left the room to make him some coffee. She could hear their children slowly start to rouse in their rooms and smiled because it meant all of them were willing enough to go without putting up a fight. That and she had noticed that some of her kids had already made friends with some of the Holland children. Although she was slightly worried about Greyson, lately he seemed off with his magic but due to their close relationship she decided to not pester him about it. If he happened to get himself into something he couldn’t handle she was sure her handsome oldest son would come to her. And seeing that Cosima and Grey were so close she knew that if Grey didn’t think he could come to her with something that was happening, Cos would come to her with it on his behalf. It was never an issue for Isabelle to trust her children as they all knew her punishment for misuse of their magic or forbidden use of their magic. Granted she never liked to be the ‘bad cop’ when it came to disciplining the kids most of the time it was her that dished out punishments. Although that was usually rare.
Her thoughts drifted again before she heard something hit the side of the house towards the kids’ rooms. Her automatic reaction was to be on the defense and find out what it was…so she did. Placing her mug down on the kitchen counter, Isabelle silently made her way up the stairs and down the hall following the sound and then a smell that she wasn’t exactly pleased with. She huffed a frustrated sigh and put her hands on her hips. Artemis had another girl over and was smoking again. ‘Hadn’t I already talked to him about that?’ She thought as she stared at the bedroom door of her youngest son. Unfortunately she was going to have to pull him aside today and talk about it again. For now she let it slide and headed back downstairs. She went about making Thaddeus some coffee and called for him to come downstairs. Since all of the kids were old enough to dress themselves she knew she didn’t have to go bedroom door to bedroom door waking them and telling them to get ready. She looked at the time again…five twenty six PM? Had she really taken that long to get ready? She brushed it off and continued about what she was doing. When Thaddeus came downstairs she handed him a mug of coffee that was already prepared the way he liked it and he was already ready to go. She smiled at that notion then started hearing the kids leave. Cosima, Greyson, and Artemis headed over to the Holland house already, that just left herself, Thaddeus, and Alyssa to arrive at the party. She called out for Alyssa so that the three of them could leave together. She looked out the window and saw Cosima, Greyson, and Artemis enter the Holland home after the door had been opened for them and noticed that it had already started getting dark outside.
At that moment she realized that the Crane’s and Everett’s were probably already at the Holland home and she was praying that nothing was happening that was too…extraordinary. With that she finished her tea and called out for Alyssa again. “Aly! Honey let’s go! Your brothers and sister are already at the Holland house, it’s just me and your father.” She called sweetly, then waiting for their youngest child before they all left. Upon arriving at the Holland residence she noticed that everybody was in the backyard, so instead of knocking on the front door, she went to the side of the house and announced her presence before entering the backyard. And noted everybody that was there and smiled sweetly, first being greeted by who she presumed to be the mother of the household. She smiled and offered a handshake. “Hi, I’m Isabelle Kavanagh, this is my husband Thaddeus and my youngest daughter Alyssa. Wow everything smells amazing here.” She said with an enthusiastic tone and smile. “I’m not sure if you’ve met all my children yet but…” She paused and found Greyson in a group of people which included Cosima as well as Artemis. Pointing to Greyson first she went down the line. “..that’s Greyson, my oldest, then Cosima and Artmeis.” She explained staying in polite conversation with one of the heads of this household. She noted that Amber, her closest friend here, was looking a bit uneasy. So in her usual way, she waved the blonde female over happily. “Amber! Hey sweetie! You look absolutely gorgeous.” She exclaimed, usually adoring what the vampire wore and how her hair was styled. "Have you two been introduced yet?" She asked, speaking to Gabrielle and Amber.
