My parents recently had the kids with them in Iowa for almost two weeks. Given that they started out the visit with a trip to the local dairy farm, the kids should have not only loved being with them, but also been nice to them. One would think, anyway! But, as usual, the kids reminded their grandparents why visits should have an end date. As Mom wrote shortly before she and Dad brought the kids home to us: “N stays busy dreaming up projects to be told no. No grinding rocks, no painting the house or door, no running water up the down spouts, no going to Hawaii to get lava rocks. K puts on a cute face as she continually defends her innocence.”
