Notice that since having our children back I have no time to blog! LOL! Life has definitely returned to normal around here. Gone is the quiet house. Returned is the MESS...and the daytime comedy and funny conversations at dinner.
Jane brought them home Monday. They got here around 4:30. She stayed for the evening and helped everyone get re-acclimated before she headed home on Tuesday afternoon. They seemed happy to be home - happy to see us at least. They clobbered us with hugs and kisses, and continually sought us out for more snuggles and loves as the day passed. I'm glad they had fun, but It's nice to be missed.
We really haven't had to do much in the way of getting them back on schedule. We've had to remind them a few times of our rules vs. Grandma's rules. And Tuesday's dinner was an outright stand-off - we had baked fish, long-grain wild rice and Mediterranean vegetables. They wanted Sonic burgers. Too bad. The only really notable behaviour issue we've seen is the reclaiming of territory - mostly by Isaac. He spent a large part of Tuesday and Wednesday reminding us all of what belongs specifically to him. I guess because all of Grandma & Grandpa's toys are community toys for everyone to play with (not that ours aren't...at least their supposed to be shared with everyone...but I guess it makes a difference which specific toy was given to which child for which birthday or holiday, etc. Kids are funny stuff). Other than this little oddity, we haven't really had much trouble.
We just put everyone in bed a few minutes ago...around 8:30. And all is quiet. I think they're still pretty worn out from all the vacation excitement. They've been crashing hard and sleeping late for the past few days. So, now I've officially informed you all that life is back to normal...back to crazy!
