We are the P Family.
See the empty townhouse?
The P family is moving from New England to the desert. "How exciting!" say the P Family members. Here is the P family's new house. It is a FUN house. It's has its own colony of mosquitos breeding in the green pool water in the back. It has its own hive of bees living in the front column. It has its own lovely green carpet. What a FUN house.
A New Game: Let's Play Find-My-House!
There are a lot of fun new games to play in the Southwest. This one is called find-my-house. Mommy and Little Boy P have gone for a walk. Now which street and house is there's?
This way? Or was it this way?

If the P family moved into their home on Halloween and they just had their 4th Halloween in their home, how long has the P family lived in the desert? You're right. FOUR WHOLE YEARS.
Look, the yard on the FUN home looks a little greener!
Look, the carpet in the FUN home looks a little less green!
Look, the P family leaves the desert in the summer to go camping with their new friends!
The P family is going to be OKAY in the desert!

courtney, i craved mexican food the entire time we lived on the east coast.
hayley,wow, 2 years?! time does fly
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you have either just celebrated your fifth (5th) Halloween, or you have lived in your house for just over three (3) years. Don't worry, it's just math. So... either you forgot to dress your kids up as Heim Hetzrony and Jim Mcmahon (scary) last Hollows Eve, or... you just got a year younger. Now you can justify lying about your age.

hey other J Madsen, i just read over this again and realized the same thing! of course, we skipped that first halloween (costume was packed, cupboards were empty), so it's almost like it never happened and that forgives the math, right?!
