A couple of weeks ago,
bright and early on a Saturday morning, my husband and I packed the kids up in the car and drove the hour drive to his mother's house. After dropping off my husband, the kids and I then drove an hour and a half back, past our house, to a birthday party for one of my son's best buddies. (My son was rather dismayed that for some reason it took 2 1/2 hours to drive to the birthday party!) While we were having fun splashing and eating cupcakes, my husband and his mother were in her van, driving the five hours to my parent's house. They stayed for a few hours and then turned right around and drove back.
At around 1am I got a call from my brother asking me if my husband had arrived home yet. I looked outside to check and discovered, to my surprise,
a vehicle in the driveway containing my brother and sister-in-law!
At around 2am my husband arrived home. He had dropped his mom off at her house and we would be taking her van back the next afternoon.
Why?
