I think I speak for the crowd when I say that having our children home from college is ........delightful. And by that I mean interesting in an exhausting way. Really (and my unscientific poll backs me up) I think they are trying to kill us. Late nights, messy bathrooms, stuff absolutely everywhere. Well, really, just exactly like when they were home...except somehow, I got a little delusional and fantasized that they had become grown-up and that they would be transformed somehow into civilized, tidy little gentlemen. Once, I heard an older gentleman say he would love to see his college age daughter "for about fifteen minutes". I didn't understand that statement then, but I do now.
But.....I sure will miss them when they're gone....and the house is so quiet again. Having both boys, all their friends...and all of their girlfriends for New Year's Eve was a blast. Thanks, boys, for including us in your good times!! Here's to 2009!
