Testing, One Two, Test

So this is my first attempt at blogging. My sister, Sarah, decided that I need to have my own blog, so she pretty much set the entire thing up for me. Bravo Sarah- you have brought me into the 21st Century.

So yesterday I was bored and playing Siouxlandopoly with my younger brother Mike. Even though he had the equivalent of Boardwalk and Park Place I was still winning. Than the phone rang. It was my uncle Phil. He asked me if I would like to babysit sometime. I answered sure, thinking he would want me sometime in the near future. I didn't realize that it was the very near future he was thinking of. An hour later I found myself in complete control over my three cousins, the oldest of which is ten, and the youngest of which is four.

Ethan, the youngest, is extremely high maintenance. I don't mean he cares what he looks like (he would run around naked if he could), but he does require your attention at all times. It's not that you have to watch to make sure he stays out of trouble, he actually demands that you focus on him at all times. It also takes a lot of effort to get him to eat. I sat next to him for half an hour staight trying to make him eat his two, three inch chicken strips. His bedtime, thankfully, was at 8. Unfortunetly, he decided that he didn't want to go to bed, and I send him back to bed about a dozen times. Grr... Oh well. I did get paid for this, so it really wasn't that bad.

Oh, and after my aunt and uncle got back from their shopping trip to Sioux Falls, I got to take a kitten home! :-) It is tiny and grey and striped and named Houdini. This is because she tried to escape while I was driving home, so I had to put some of my dad's heavy tools on her box so she couldn't get out.

Wow that was long. Comment. Or don't. Your choice.
