The Super Kids are here!
Lois and I flew down to Smallville to pick up Super Boy and Super Girl from school and I'll have to admit I was a little tired after carrying Lois, because well you know Lois can't fly. It was really fun to be the ones picking up the kids from school and they were both really excited to see us. I think SG's teachers were more excited to see us than anyone and are really excited that I am going to chaperon one of SG's upcoming field trips. A whole day with SG and some of her classmates sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe not the kind of fun that you are so excited about that you cant's sleep the night before (there will be a lot of high pitched squealing and little girls giggling) excited, but excited none the less. While we were in Smallville we were discussing where to eat when we passed a Long John Silver. I know that this doesn't sound like fine dining to many of you but this has been one of my favorite eating joints since I was a little super boy myself. Lois rolled her eyes but relented and we all had a seafood feast and the kids actually enjoyed it as well. We don't have a Long John Silvers in Metropolis so this was a rare treat for me. For some it's a Big Mac, or a Nacho Bell Grande, or a whopper and for me it's deep fried fish, hush puppies, and fries from LJS. And oh yeah we rang the bell on the way out. The next day we flew home to Metropolis and you could see the excitement and joy in the kids eyes as they recognized the Landmarks and realised we were almost home. I can't explain the feeling as we walked through the front door of our home and watched my children enter the house and Lois tell the kids take off your shoes. At that instant I knew all was well and my family was home and safe.

Yea! I'm so glad the kids are there. Enjoy your week!! Lois told me about spending time with each super kid and I think that is a fantastic idea. Can't wait to hear about all your adventures!
I love that feeling too; that home feel, family feel, when the insanity fades off for a while and we are just enjoying our moments together. It makes it even more evident that one particular person, really, is the problem in our situation, but we already knew that.
