Today was the last day cousin's Kristi, Steve, Skylar, Drew, and Addison were in town. Tomorrow morning they leave at 4:00 am to go back to NC. It's always sad when they leave, but they're always ready to go back home...even though we all try to convince them to move back to MI when they are here. Steve, Drew, and Addison came over for pizza and we invited Grandpa Bob to join us too. The men (Jerry, Steve, and Bob) had fun playing in the pole barn while I tried to keep track of 5 kids...it was interesting. Once Lauren and Olivia went to bed it wasn't too bad, until the kids started yelling. I got a little embarrassed that of what the neighbors would think, so I just went into the house to let the guys deal with the kids. I had peace and quiet for about 10 minutes! :) Addison and Ally were so cute together. They played quite a bit together while they were in town. The girls are only about 2 months apart in age and they look like they could be sisters. One day I was babysitting Addison and when Jerry came home I said to him "too bad we didn't have two sets of twins because those two play so well together." He looked at me like I was crazy! And of course after I said it, I realized it did sound a little crazy! But truth be told, they were really cute together! We're going to miss having them around. We look forward to their next visit, unless we go there first!
