Jon takes out the trash after ENQUIRER video pix shocker as Kate lays low!

After 12 days of vacationing at Bald Head Island, N.C., all the Gosselin kids returned home Sunday to be with pappa Jon who was caught by The ENQUIRER on video with yet another woman.

Eight-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, who reunited with their dad last week, gave the sextuplets a ride in a toy Jeep around the family's estate. (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn)

Jon was also seen cruising in his tractor, dealing with mounds of trash only a reality show could produce.

Kate was nowhere to be seen after returning from vacation with the brood and bodyguard "pal" Steve Kleid.

A terse lipped Jon told photogs they need to "watch the show" for nups bust updates.

Plug, plug!

Update: Kate was eyeballed flying solo, filling up her gas tank Monday in Reading, Pa.
