Backfired..

Last weekend we were able to babysit Payton for a few hours. We had a fun time with her even though Payton LOVES Mat and wants basically nothing to do with me. Mat had to work on a lesson for church so for most of the time I had to try and entertain Payton and keep her away from Mat. So I read books with her, fed her lunch, watched part of a movie, jumped and jumped on the mini-tramp, and even went outside for a little bit. She kept asking for Mat, but I was able to keep her mostly entertained so Mat could work on his lesson. Meanwhile, Payton was jumping on the tramp and I noticed she had a poopy diaper. So I decided to be cheeky and see if I could get Mat to change the diaper. I asked Payton who she wanted to change her diaper, Uncle Mat or Aunt Shel (thinking in my head that for sure she will say Mat cause she loves him so much) well it backfired on me because she said she wanted me to change her diaper. The only time this kid wants me over Mat is to change her stinkin' poopy diaper. That'll teach me.

What a doll.

Payton all bundled up to go outside in the freezing cold. She loves being outside and does not care that it is cold. We stayed outside for like 10 minutes and then I made her come back in cause it was SO COLD.


We also went to one of our friends home, Mark and Emily. They just build a new home and it was fun to see. Everything is nice and new. We played the game of Life with them. It was really fun. One of their little boys played with us too. Some of the things he said were so funny. Right now I can't remember what they were, but he cracks me up. I also jinxed Mark while playing because it was his turn to pick a new salary (he currently held the $30,000 salary card) and I said I will laugh so hard when you get the salary card of $20,000 and sure enough he got that card. It was real funny. Then later on in the game it was Mark's turn to spin the wheel and I said I hope you don't spin a 1 because if he did he would have to pay lots of money to the back and sure enough he spun a 1. We laughed and laughed about it (I did feel a little bad though.) Funny how that happens sometimes. We had a great time hanging out with them.
