Hunter and Evie came over yesterday to play.
Since I know their Mom worries about them so much,
I thought I would do a blog post to show her
how very content they are at their cousins' house.
We had apples and cheese for a snack.
Jesse and Hunter were too busy playing.
They played for hours and I didn't see them for a loooong time.
The kids huddled around the heater.
I can see Rachel's face now, brows furrowed, mouth open in shock.
If there is one thing Rachel can't stand it's a cold house.

We had leftover lasagna and peas for lunch.
Then we had smarties.
See?? We have treats at my house, too.
(The other thing Rachel can't stand is a house with no treats...)
This was the part Rachel was most worried about. After lunch we went for a walk to take Jesse to school. But it went off without a hitch if you can believe it. Hunter was always in the front leading the way. Jesse followed close behind. The BEST part was Evie, imagine this tiny little girl keeping up with us like a champ. Sometimes she ran, mostly she just walked fast. But she was happy happy happy the whole time. Breanna, on the other hand. She doesn't hurry for anyone or anything. Period.
Here are Jesse and Hunter jumping.
I don't know why they were jumping.
Hunter changed his shirt 5 times while he was at our house.
He came with two shirts on.
When the first got wet he took it off.
When that got wet he borrowed one from Jesse
and when that got wet, he put his old (now dry) shirt on.
But when that got wet, he put on the Superman shirt and that is what he was wearing
when he left.
See, Rachel?
See how perfectly happy she is, just to be at her Aunt Sarah's house?

Then I made supper. The kids watched TV.
Then we ate supper.
I made Salmon fishsticks and pureed sweet peas and butternut squash fries.
(To be fair, I didn't have very many groceries.)
But Hunter took one bite of the peas and said "Blech. Blech."
And did so until he left.
HAHA. Sorry, buddy :)
So, the moral of this story is, bring your kids back soon, I promise we won't get swine flu! :)
Sarah
Okay, I didn't know you and Rachel are related!! Are you sisters? Or sisters-in-law? Looks like the kids had a fun day!
ReplyDeleteAlso, am I the only one who likes to look at the background of photos? I LOVE your blue wall in your kitchen!
The end.
How lucky to have cousins your age that you love - that's the best thing in the world. Great post.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Lindsay. I'm not gonna lie I'll click on photos sometimes hoping to get decorating inspiration :) That's cool you and Rachel know each other. She's my little sister.
ReplyDelete:) :) :) :) :) :( :( :) :) There were just some of the emotions I felt reading this post. Add in some tears and a warm heart. I can't thank you enough, Sarah. It means everything to me that you are such a good Auntie to them. I was not worried one little bit. I have no doubt they are in the best hands with you!!! It's so funny because today when I was doing laundry I noticed that Hunter had Jesse's Superman shirt. I wondered what he had done to possibly deserve that honor. It must have been a fun day for him to get so many shirts wet. What lucky kids to have you for an Aunt!
