We refer to my in-laws as The Munchkins because they are little tiny people, and have gotten smaller with age. Back when we had jobs our house was never company ready so if we found out Mr. Troutbend's folks were on the way over, we yelled MUNCHKIN ALERT and scurried around cleaning the junk off the dining table into boxes and quick wiping off the kitchen counters.

It's a little bit better now - I have more time to keep the house more presentable, but there is definitely a lot of dusting and cleaning I could do, namely the hanging light fixtures in the front hall and the woodwork on the stairs.

Well, the Munchkins are due here tomorrow and what am I doing about it? Sitting here messing around on MyBloggers.

I should be doing some baking - Mr. Munchkin loves Shoo Fly pie, which you can't get anywhere around here. But she is on a gluten free diet, so that always puts a damper on things.

Fortunately other in-laws are coming at the same time to stay next door, so they will fix most of the meals. I told the Munchkins to bring their special breakfast foods, and then I figure I can just serve up plain meat if there are any dinners to be served over here.
