Can I offer you an inflight meal for $20?

Lisa and the kids flew home from California last night. I have only been away from them for a couple weeks this time, but it seems like the kids have changed the most this trip. Carter looked huge as he was wedged into an umbrella stroller that Audrey was pushing. Audrey gave me a big hug and kiss and Carter kept pointing to his head and making some weird noise. Latter I found out that he actually fell off of his chair during the flight and bonked his head. I guess he thought it was a pretty important story to tell me right when he saw me. Apparently Carter was not so good on the flight again. A stranger on the plane came over and asked Lisa if he could help with Carter. Lisa accepted the help and of course as soon as Carter left Lisa he was a little angel. Audrey was great on the flight home, but was very dissapointed that she didn't get a snack or drink this time and was puzzled as to why she had to pay for food if she wanted to eat during the flight (I share her thoughts and confusion). She said that she got so hot on the plane that she needed to take her shoes and socks off just to cool down.

It was fun to see the kids get home and run through the house like they had never seen it before. Carter re-acquainted himself with several of his toys that I am sure he had long forgotten about, and Audrey couldn't wait to go into her room to see if anything had changed. Lisa immediately went for the thermostat and cranked up the heat......only to have us both wake up in the middle of the night sweating to death. Oh it is good to have things back to normal again.
