It's good to be home

Tonight we had our 2nd book club meeting at 6 o'clock. When we ladies get together and start talking, well, it's difficult to stop. ☺ It's just so much fun talking about books and our lives in general.

I didn't get home until 10, and of course the girls were already in bed. I went into Paige and Emma's room to see if maybe they were still awake, and Emma was. She was so sweet. She had to tell me all the things that she did while I was gone. She whispered to me, "We cleaned the toy room and the back yard and the fort in the basement and we folded all the blankets in the fort and we cleaned this fort as well [the fort that she had made out of her bed on the bottom bunk with her bedding] and then we got to watch TV!" She was very animated by this time, but she was still whispering. "We got to watch the new iCarly movie!" ☺

I went to simply give Paige a goodnight kiss as she was sleeping, and she woke up and said rather dejectedly, "You've been gone a long time." I guess four hours seems like an eternity to a child, doesn't it? ☺ But she was very happy to have me home. I agree. ☺☺☺
