mysonsrmarried: He's out with Joel, I think.
joshymadd: Oh, I keep telling him that he needs to get his own place, but he won't listen to me
riotangelstar: I think he's happier being closer to his kids though.
mysonsrmarried: I like having him here. And he does like being near the babies.
joshymadd: Can I move in after he moves out? *eats some ice cream*
riotangelstar: No.
riotangelstar: ::grins::
mysonsrmarried: he's not moving out
joshymadd: *looks at Star* Oh, come on...it'll be cool
joshymadd: Of course he's moving out some day
riotangelstar: Callie's too hyper
mysonsrmarried: I'm allergic to dogs, Josh
joshymadd: What if we keep them outside? Then, can I move in?
riotangelstar: ::looks at Ms. Madden:: I see what you mean. ::grins and laughs a little::
mysonsrmarried: Benjamin put up all my christmas lights and decorations. Would you do things like that?
riotangelstar: ::smiles::
