home sweet home
We’re home! The house is clean, the lawn is mowed, and there’s not a damn thing to eat. Hey–vacation’s over!
I have lots to tell about my week of Doing Nothing And Loving It, but it’s late, so I’ll leave you with some very exciting photos of our drive home–specifically the last half hour of our drive, when the boys FINALLY decided to nap (after EIGHT HOURS in the car).
Poor Henry–the Big Kid Booster Seat doesn’t offer ANY head rest at all. Until just before I started taking pictures, he was sleeping doubled over with his head on his knees. Ouch. I wish you could see his hands–he was clutching two SuperHero action figures and a knight in full chain mail (with a sword! and a battle axe!).

Then there’s my Fat Charlie–poor little Buddha. He also had some SuperHeroes, but they were tucked into his binket.
We were all very very tired (and very VERY cranky) when we got home. So the boys went to bed (all three of them) and I caught up with my Internet friends. And now it’s off to bed for me, too!
Tomorrow: Whole Foods Market and other things I love about Albuquerque.

Sweet chubby cheeks of dreamy bliss. Dreams of superhero knights in chain mail fighting reptilian space creatures, no doubt.

“Binkit”! Have you read that book by Sandra Boynton, called, I think, “Where’s My Binkit?” Like most Boynton books, it’s highly entertaining, even for those of us decades beyond the target audience.

Mary! The whole ‘binkit’ thing is blatanly stolen from the Boynton book (which we love love LOVE).
And recently we’ve been listening to the Philadelphia Chickens in the car–if you’ve not heard it, check it out. Any CD with Kevin Bacon and Laura Linney can’t be all bad, yes?
