We got home mid afternoon yesterday after a lazy zag(or was it a zig?) through New Hampshire. The Wife got to see the brick-and-mortar version of a couple of her favorites sites, Patternworks and Keepsake Quilting. Other than that, the drive home was uneventful. It also lacked the punch the drive up packed. There’s just no comparison between the White Mountain skyline and, well, any Boston area skyline.
The boy and the lass had each had there own big events to anticipate. The boy was going to sleep over at a friends, while the lass was going to be an ‘only for a night.’ Neither could really contain their excitement. They were both extremely helpful unpacking the car- not wanting to jeopardize their opportunities.
Dropping the boy off was uneventful. His friend was having a birthday party. The boy, for his part, couldn’t wait to be rid of me. There was no hesitation or second-thoughts about being away from home for the evening. I barely got a ‘Good-Bye’ out of him when I left.
The lass was in her glory for the evening. She had Mom and Dad all to herself and she took advantage of it. Particularly with regards to the Wife. Lot’s of reading and ‘playing dolls’ and other girl stuff.
The boy arrives home some time today around lunch. No calls from the other parents which either means that everything has gone just swimmingly, or the combination of the two kids together has resulted in full-scale destruction of that immediate area. I think that would have made a noise, so my money’s on ‘a good time was had by all.’
