		<description><![CDATA[The kids and I have two guilty pleasures — watching American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. We have been thrilled with this season of AI. I mean, seriously.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Day 2 of the kids&#8217; summer vacation, was, overall, a heckuva lot better than yesterday. For reasons known only to themselves, my sons decided to be extra-wild and crazy yesterday, resulting in a banishment to the outdoors for a couple hours. Here are a few things I&#8217;ve learned so far: 1. I can tell [...]]]></description>

The kids were obviously upstairs, but the camaraderie I heard coming from the boys&#8217; room as I went up the stairs was unusual. I arrived at the boys&#8217; door to find a notice, which had previously served as a warning for the mess inside, updated [...]]]></description>

Even the couple kids (who shall remain nameless) who are normally bite-your-head-off whiny/grumpy in the morning had smiles. &#160; Just for kicks, I&#8217;m putting up their first day of school picture from this year to see if/how much they have changed. &#160;]]></description>
