Just wondering how your DH and DD did on their road trip? Still speaking to one another? Was the house hunt for MIL successful?
And how was your weekend with your DS? Did you get the house all decorated for the holidays?
Hope it all went well!

Thanks for asking - I think the trip went very well. My DH sweetened the offer by making reservations at a beautiful B&B, and they enjoyed the drive together very much. Also, I think having my DD with him helped my DH put up with his mother ;-)
Don't think they found a house - she's hard to pin down - but I do think it got my DH more information about what she wants and doesn't want, and a realistic view of how hard it will be for us to find what she wants/needs (she's a difficult, nutty person, and I think he thought she'd be sane about this one thing.....)
My DS and I had fun - but for some unknown reaon he became instantly panic-stricken at sleeping alone in his room (which he had done without incident for 5 years). The only solution he could think of was to sleep in Daddy's spot - lololol - so much for a night alone!

What a nice treat for your DD! C and DH go on a 'road trip' every day to school, lol. She keeps telling me that one day she and I are going to take a trip to Ashland, OR so she can show me around and we can stay at a really quaint B&B she discovered on her trip to the Shakespeare Festival in September that serves really great Eggs Benedict. They must really be great if DD ate them -- she doesn't like eggs!
You know, the thing that makes me crazy about MILs is the fact that one day I will be one myself! Egad. Why does that title carry such negative connotations?
Glad everyone is home safe and sound!
