Evelyn's friends

Evelyn has some friends in the neighborhood that she loves to play with.  at first I called them the girls because I didn't know their names.  luckily for me they seem to like writing their names in chalk on the driveway as that is how I learned their names. Now Evelyn refers to them as "my friends, the girls C, M, and A". Tonight she saw them outside and we went looking for them after I started dinner but they had gone in.  I told Evelyn that if we hurried home and ate dinner maybe they would come back outside after we were done eating.  I finally convinced her to go in and we were eating dinner when the doorbell went off.   I went to see who it was and it was two of her friends.  She was so excited that her friends had come to see her but thankfully she sat back down to finish dinner with out a problem.  unfortunately by the time that her and J got back outside they were inside and J didn't want to go to their doors and see if they could come back out.  but they walked down to a different friend's house and she got to play there. Unfortunately she was sad that she missed her friends and started to cry in the bath.  Se was saying how she missed her friends and that she was afraid that she was never going to see them again - it was very sad.  (this is when dad pops in telling her not to cry (I hate it when he tells her that).  I finally got her calmed down by telling her that she could make them all I miss you cards. 

In other news my neck still hurts any time I am even a minute late in taking the IBU and the flexeral that I am taking at night.  I have been fairly successful in minimizing my picking up the kids however I had to pick up William and carry him down the street twice tonight.  so I should feel great tomorrow...
