What happenend when Mommy was gone

Mostly life as normal went on while I was gone. Our super babysitter, T, took care of the girls.
Here are the highlights:

• The girls did get baths. (A worry of mine was that Phill would not give them baths. He didn't; T did.)
• The table tops and walls are filled with arts and crafts. There are flags, drawings, paintings, and one really neat house made out of a Pepperidge Farms Goldfish carton.
• The kids playroom was in good shape. It's always a bit messy so that's not that hard to keep in relatively good condition.
• My neighbors added another kid swing so now sharing the two swings between the three girls is easier.
• Ursa only got in the pond once according to T. We are down to one water lily, so this is good that she's less inclined to wreak havoc. (Perhaps Shakespeare had a dog that messed up his fish pond and that is why he used the phrase "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!" in Julius Caesar.)
• One last note, Larien does not like to go to nap or bed when Mommy is gone. On Friday she didn't nap, and she did not fall asleep until 11pm that night either.
