Crazy weekend, but good.
04.19.04 (11:36 am) [edit]I took a vacation day on Friday so that I could have 3 days off in a row. I couldn't have asked for better weather. :D
It was just a fluke, but all three days were above 70 and sunny, if a little bit windy. Sunday it actually hit about 83 here, while to the North of us, on the other end of the state where one of my sister-in-laws lives, it was only 40. Such is the weather here in Wisconsin in the Spring. :roll: At least it wasn't the other way round. :wink:
The whole family got to shed a lot of the blahs from cabin fever and played outside a lot - at the park and around the house. :)
Saturday was a bit hectic though, as my wife had agreed to babysit for some friends and we had two extra kids (a 2 year old and a 4 year old, to go with our 3 year old) running us ragged for the afternoon. The two year old was a grinning little demon - getting into the toilet water and destroying several of my daughter's books, among other things, smiling all the while . . . :x
My daughter was never that "evil" when she was two, thank goodness. :)
Lets see, what else happened? I cooked brats (bratwurst for all you non-Wisconsinites) on the grill Saturday, made chicken curry for dinner yesterday, watched the movie "Human Nature," played Dungeons & Dragons, worked on my car, and finally managed to convince my wife to watch some of Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring (which she started to really get into). :)
All in all, it was a pretty good weekend! :)

Do you think your wife would ever play D&D? Or for that matter, do you want her to?

Talking about mischevious kids in one paragraph and then saying "I cooked brats" in the next is rather disconcerting for a moment!

That would be a NO......I am the babysitter on Sunday nights. I prefer for it to stay that way. I can't do that roleplaying stuff. I have a hard enough time playing the role of wife and mother......I think I should concentrate on reality.

Ha Ha cooking the brats! How funny. Our neighbors little girl must be that 2 year old evil twin... she is BAD! Neither of my kids were like that. They may not have been angels, but they weren't horrors either!

It was so funny, as soon as the parents came, the grin was gone and the mischief multiplied. She was a demon, but a cute one for us; for her parents, just a demon.

Oh and that sure is a cure for wanting more children, hey? I am thankful for my sister having a baby instead of me. I can get my "baby" fix from a new niece or nephew instead of bearing/rearing my own child.

I agree with Badoobie2... devilish children are a great form of birthcontrol! I love the little buggers... especially when the can be sent home... oh wait! My little buggers are making themselve ice cream mudpies as I write! ;)
