Oh Sister

I have become that person.  You know the one that refuses to travel to anyone else and makes everyone come to her.  Let's not kid ourselves here: I've always been that person--that's why I loved Provo so much.  Who doesn't pass through Provo at some point and visit me?  Point is: my sister and her little Autumn came and visited a week ago.  I was super excited to see my sister and have the little girls play together--they're two now.  They know how to play.  They were going to have soooo much fun and start planning their shared dorm room.  My dreams were shattered.  While Amber and I had a good time, Alice and Autumn...their two strong personalities did not mesh.

At Rex's t-ball game

This is after fighting over who would get the pink chair.

 We had perfect weather and Autumn had already been on vacation for two weeks, so spent lots of time in the backyard in the kiddie pool rather than going out.  Alice was not a fast enough slider for Autumn.

 Rex, for once, was not in on the fighting and spent the week tattling on the little girls.

 Don't be deceived by this--they are getting ready to fight over the markers.

Maybe next time the little girlies will get along...but my expectations are low.  Too bad Amber and I like each other so much because those little girlies are going to be stuck being frenemies for the rest of their lives.
