wow - that must get hectic - good for you for being able to balance a work and family/personal life afterwards - and still make time to write! i'm still trying to find a balance between attending school (and doing homework....) and trying to write a story. i'll get there soon. for now, i'm pretty content with just writing reviews and reading! but i'm excited to co-write a christmas story that we'll be publishing in december!

"Let me know if you’d like to see more of the Halperts, and what kind of things you think happen when their all under one roof :)"
My reply: Absolutely, I do.
Author's Response: I loved your reply. It's so nice to have this site, where one can come and be among other Office geeks! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

no problem, i'm glad we're on the same page (and brain wave! lol!) great idea, and i'm looking forward to reading the upcoming chapters! and out of curiosity, are you a teacher? if so, that's pretty cool - what subject?
Author's Response: I'm actually a substitute teacher for a elementry/middle school. However, they also have a before/aftercare program and a daycare on the property. So I can be called in anytime 6am-6pm for any class from 6 weeks olds, to 8th graders. It definitely makes life and my schedule interesting!
Since typing the above 3 minutes ago, I got a call and I'm heading in to work. Like I said, it's an interesting schedule:) Thanks for your review.

Aww cute. I like family stories.
Author's Response: Awww thanks, reviews are as good as a Halpert prank :)

you bring up a good point - i should be more specific with my requests! lol! i guess what i would like to see is how this morning continues, the rest of the family wakes up, they all come downstairs for a family breakfast, the brothers interact with each other, maybe some famous halpert smirks going on? and of course, some JAM interaction. does this help a bit? let me know if you want me to be more specific, i'm glad to help pass ideas back and forth if you decide to continue this story! and i liked your original idea, the description of jim and pam sleeping was very well done!
Author's Response: Wow! That is specific, and you might have psychic powers. At work this morning I was planning out the next chapter (before my class arrived) and I was tinkign to pick up the story line just an hour or so later and continue through brekfast. It will give me a chance to write soem JAM banter, but still let the other characters have a voice. I'll take whatever thoughts or comments you want to post,thanks for all your help!

i love them all together as a family. i'll take more if you want to give it to me (TWSS). =]
Author's Response: The best place to learn about someone is from their family. Let's just say Pam will be learning a lot about Jim in these next few chapters:)

LMAO that was so cute. I love the idea of Larissa loving having all her babies back home with her, and the pranking - genius :)
More :D
Author's Response: THnak you so much! I just got home from work and all these reviews were just what I needed. I so glad you liked the prank, The Office creators have set such high standerds, that I'm always a bit nervous to put one in my stories. I'm so glad you enjoyed!

"Shaking herself from her silent revelry"
I think you probably mean reverie, which would be an introspection. Unless you do mean a joyous celebration, in which case revelry would be just fine. :)
Author's Response: I think the Halperts have likely enjoyed a lot of revelries over the years, but your right, I in this case I did mean reverie. Unfortunately my word program only has spell check, not "intended word check". Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

i really liked this, and i don't think you've ended this at a conclusion - so guess what - you need more chapters! :) i loved betsy, and the description of jim and pam in his childhood bed, so cute! only thing though, benjamin's retelling of what was supposed to happen with the pranks i found to be a bit confusing... oh well. i can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: I know you read and review a lot and you are really good at it. So if you want more, I expect you to have some ideas:) What so what kind of things do you think would happen over the weekend? Would you like to see pranks? Some flashbacks to childhood? Another persons point of view? Should Jim and Pam come to the forefront or stay in the background? These are the questions that try men's souls..... :)
This story actually started because I wanted to have somebody see a glimpse of JAM sleeping in a cute, non-smutty way. I know, weird starting point. But I'm glad you think the moment worked. I'm sorry you found the ending confusing, there was a line or two I wasn't sure about. I went back and did some editing, so let me know what you think. Thanks for all your reviews!
