"Thank you so much for sharing that with me..."

Yesterday afternoon we went to Jen & Chris' for play date and dinner. It is so great to let the girls run and play while we relax and visit. Yesterday we had four different families just chillin' and the Darragh's listening to country music on the boom box. It was nice. There were 2 highlights of the evening.

First, while the girls where playing they would stop every eight minutes or so to stop tattle on one another. Finally, Greg had enough and decide to handle it. Remember, Greg has 3 grown polliwogs! So, here comes Aubrey ready to tattle! She has the full drama armor on with tears. She began to tell Steven whatever it was bothering her, or what someone had done. Greg stops her and tells her to explain to him what happened. She agreed and she told him whatever. Then Greg looks at her and says, "Aubrey, thank you so much for sharing that with me." Aubrey just looked him, like "are you kidding" and she had no idea how to respond. Then we continue our conversation. She ran off to play! BAM!!! Believe me, it worked great for all the girls. Greg said it over and over!

The other funny for the night was that we are sitting on the patio around the table and we look down two houses. There is a man (another neighbor) watering his lawn. Yes, he had it just right in his hand where it looked like he was using the bathroom. Of coarse we had to yell down there to tell him! He just laughed once he noticed what he was doing.

We had another great evening with our neighborhood. Who knows what today will bring. Steven got up and went in to work. I kept Aubrey, since daycare is closed today. She has been in 2 bathing suits already. She has been in and out of the house playing in the blow up pool. Steven also pulled her red mustang out of the garage so that she could ride it around the back of the house while he was gone. She says it didn't work so well on the grass, so she wanted to wash her car. Which was great for me. Jamie was sleeping, so I could get some picking up done.

We had our first watermelon yesterday! As a mater of fact 3 out of the 4 families thought they had a great idea and brought a watermelon to Jen and Chris'. So, yeah we brought ours back. We will probably cut it today. I had a few people look at me funny when I asked for the salt. I forget that not everyone puts salt on there watermelon. Aubrey is actually growing some watermelon in her garden! We will see how that works.

I have been talking to Dad about twice a day. He seems to be doing well. I think Nikki is headed home today.

I hope you all have a great Memorial Day!
Cheers
