Everyone needs an Aunt Fran

Aunt Fran is coming to babysit tonight, so Rob and I can go out. She offered, which is a wonderful gift. We don't know what we're doing yet, but the drive alone will be exciting. With sick kids and overall busy-ness lately, it feels like it's been so long since we've been out. The kids love it when she comes over and quite frankly, so do we. She is a little soft on the discipline and rules, which THEY love, and she usually has the house cleaner than when we left, which WE love. But, the best thing; It doesn't matter how difficult the task might have been or how whiny and challenging one of her charges was, she lets us know how much she enjoyed her time with them. She just loves these little monkeys, and that is one of the reasons why we love our Aunt Fran.
