She's Home

and Mummy's happy. She rode half way(or better) home with her cabin Mom and I was in a panic until we picked her up in Portsmouth. Then she talked non-stop until we got home 5 hours later. It was ok though I had missed her voice around the house.
They called from the road when they left camp so that we could time the pick up. When I answered the phone I was expecting the cabin Moms' voice but instead I got this little "Hi Mummy" I am not a crier but I almost lost it right there. She was only gone 5 days, I am in so much trouble when she goes off to college.

Lilia had an observation about her ride home
She says " In their van they had 4 screens for the DVD player and we watched some movie with music in the title"
Daddy "The Sound of Music?"
Lil "YEAH!! it was weird"
Daddy and Mummy in unison "The hills are allllive with the sound of muuuusic"
Lilia " Um yeah, don't do that again"
Daddy and Mummy "Do a deer and female deer, ray a drop of golden suuuunnn, mi a name I call myself, fa a long long way to ruuuuun" all sang in falsetto for Daddy
Lilia "you are sooo weird, anyway they all sang along together to the movie. They are entirely too nice"

She was almost disgusted by the niceness, poor kid is jaded already and only 10 years old. We are a sarcastic lot around here it's how we show love. I totally LOLed over the whole "entirely too nice" thing.
