THEY'RE BACK!!!!

The kids came back home on Friday afternoon. They came back with the same attitude they left with..........TWEENS!!!! I walked through the door excited to see them and said, "HEY GUYS!!!!" Bran said in a low voice "Hey!" Ricky was on the recliner and gave me the blank stare with no response. Elena was laid up in her bed asleep at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. (Scott made her get up.) While they were forced to be miserable and be in the same room with me, I started asking questions. "How was it? Did you have a good time? Did you make any friends? How was the food?" You know, the annoying parent questions. The response was one word per question. "Fine. Yes."

Elena said (annoyed), "Mom, I'm tired!" My response was, "Girlfriend, you've been go all week and I just paid a lot of money for you to go. You are having a conversation with me."

All in all, they had a great time and they want to go back again next year. They made friends, learned a few verses and card games.
