Blogging - I'm out of practice.  I have so many things I want to write down about my trip but my thoughts are scattered and I'm still exhausted.  Hopefully one more good night's sleep and I'll be feeling more perky.   In some ways, my trip seems like such a long time ago - it's such a different world there.

Tomorrow is Julia's party.  Jack and I spent the day getting ready for the party; grating cheese for the pizzas, making icing, baking the cakes, organizing the decorations.  I'm so glad that Jack will be here for her party.  As Charlotte was helping us mix the icing and cake batter, she proudly stated, "I'm a good stir-ner."

One of the little trinkets I brought home for the girls was a little m&m cell phone for Charlotte.  She has carried it around all day, pretending to take pictures and make phone calls, she won't go anywhere without it.

At suppertime we were talking about the games we'll be playing at Julia's party tomorrow and I mentioned "musical beach blankets"  instead of musical chairs.  Charlotte looked puzzled and then said, "Our chairs don't do music."  Oh, this little girl cracks me up :-)

The girls started to come undone this afternoon and by 7:30 I had sent them to bed.  I'm sure that while I was gone, Jack was less firm about bedtimes and proper nutrition and I think it's all catching up to them.  I threw out more than half of their Halloween booty tonight too - a ridiculous amount of candy and much of it was stuff I don't let them eat anyway.

Now, to bed.  It's so good to be home.

there's no place like home, charlotte, funny conversations, baby talk, birthdays
