Memorial Day BBQ w/ the neighborhood in which Evelyn finagles many treats

We had a fun time with a bunch of neighbors, but we didn't get many pictures. It was pouring rain at the supposed start time, so we had to wait 20 minutes before walking around the corner. The neighbors have a covered back porch and the rain had stopped, so the kids explored the wet yard. Evelyn was bummed that the slide was so wet. We ate and talked and the sun came out. The kids were able to play on the slide and swings, and the older kids even started playing on a water slide in the front. Evelyn was bummed again when we told her she couldn't go swimming until tomorrow.

All of the kids were enjoying the huge number of brownies, cookies, and M&M bars, and Evelyn was in hog-heaven! She got several treats from Shauna and I individually, and also asked other adults for treats when we started telling her she had eaten enough. She much enjoyed the fruits of her crafty labors.

Afterwards, the kids were tuckered out. Evelyn asked to go to bed and Eli just said, "Crib! They went right down. Evelyn had been crying over something just before her nap earlier and told us "I'm having a hawd time. I need a nap." We laughed and they went right down for their naps too. They have been really great about sleeping!
