We're in.

So we moved into the palace and it really feels like one. Phil and I get uncomfortable when our kids are on a different floor from us. It seems so dangerous to us parents who have always lived in four rooms with our children. We tried laughing this off and told ourselves that we are being ridiculous.

Then Saturday night, as we finished our dinner, we heard them running around in an unfinished and still-packed playroom and decided not to fret because they weren't arguing and playrooms are for playing. Right? When Phil finally went upstairs to put them in the bath he was shocked at what he found. Sumner and Ramona, each with a screwdriver in their hand, froze when they saw him. Sumner hit himself in the forehead with his palm and said, "You should probably punish us." Phil asked why and Sumner and Ramona confessed that they had been running across the room at full speed and jamming their respective tools into the wall. Aih, aih, aih!
