I Clicked My Heels Together Three Times...

We're back. I'm tired and barricaded inside my own house by mountains of laundry, but I'm home.

The VP and I had an amazing trip - stories to follow later - and part of the reason it was so wonderful is that we didn't have to worry about our kids. We had two sets of grandparents taking excellent care of them. My warmest, most heart-felt thanks to the four of you. There is no way to adequate repay the favor.

I need to add an extra thank-you to my folks who took care of Hoocher the entire time we were gone. However, the remarked lack of enthusiam on my dog's part when we walked in the door was a bit insulting. I think he has been overly spoiled.

And speaking of spoiled...we were pleasantly surprised at the lack of it in our children. They have been behaving themselves, even when bereft of their grandparents' good natures and wallets. We did have a minor incident last night when, in a disagreement over bedtimes, The Senator informed me, "Grandma is still the boss of you, you know!"

I quickly illuminated the errors in that misconception and he went to bed without further trouble.

Today was shaping up to be spent in the laundry room, but the sun is shining and the park is calling us.

Our trip? Don't think you've escaped the slide show. More to come this weekend.

Details, woman. I'm likely to become a foster dad soon (haven't done the real fatherhood thing, though I'm considering adopting). I'm taking notes. Your archive is a goldmine.

Laundry...I have to chase mine around the room.

Sounds like grandma as an example was surpassed!
