Just Another Day in Paradise

Well, there isn't much to report today. Saturday was our 5th Anniversary. We didn't do much, just had some friends over for supper. They have a little girl who is 2 months older than Evelyn, so of course they're best buds. Evie loves it when Shaine comes to play...she finally gets someone her age to play with. I'm sensing she's getting tired of playing with Izzie, but that's another story. Anyway, when Shaine comes over the kids tear it up!!! They play hard, which usually means they sleep hard...yay :o) They played outside on the new swing set, then they played inside, then back outside, then inside...now I understand why my mother used to yell at us all the time about coming in and out. It didn't have anything to do with the A/C like she said it did, it does have everything to do with the fact that it's annoying as hell!!! ***GEESH*** Can someone please tell me why children behave badly when other children are around? It's seems that when there are other kids at our house, and it doesn't matter who those kids are, all rules completely fly out the window. It's like it's a free pass to be naughty. Oh well, I suppose "this too shall pass.". I'm very much looking forward to this coming weekend. My cousin and her family from FL will be in Milbank to baptize their son. The best thing about it is that the entire family will be here. Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to see Holly and Robert and to meet little Alec, but I'm just as anxious to see Holly's sisters and parents. I haven't seen them all together since Evelyn was about a year old. In addition, my grandparents will be there...yay!! They live in New Mexico, so I don't get to see them as often as I would like either. We all used to live in Milbank and do fun things together, then Bagauses got jobs with Disney and BJ and Papa got tired of shoveling snow. I can't wait for this weekend!!
