Back on the Homefront

While the dynamic duo are wending their way across land and sea, the kids are doing fine back home. Tonight we did spelling words and tried on the hockey gear and played some sort of tickle monster game in which I (the guest blogging babysitter) kept being instructed to pretend to fall asleep like their dad or allow myself to be fooled by the substitution of "cheese" for "please" or to be distracted by random phrases like... "Look the TV is on...." or "Oh no! Your computer is broken!" Ahhhh, yes that is ONE way to distract the tickle monster. But nothing was broken and the spelling words can be spelled flawlessly and McDonald's Playland is no place for grownups... at least not in the actual PLAY area... my hair is permanently static-filled and yet... once home they were asleep in no time... a bit later than normal, but asleep safe and sound nonetheless....
