They're back! The Nieces, ages 10 and 14, have redescended. Gameboys in hand, they are playing with the dogs, petting the cat, arguing, fighting, and generally enjoying being in a home with no brothers or fathers in it. They are eating creative meals and keeping a fairly regular schedule.
The Girls live in a rural area and like to come here where we can zip to a mall or library or grocery store. They even look forward to dog walks, since we have sidewalks.
I don't mind the lack of sleep and the amazing amount of dishes and glasses that get dirty every half hour. I enjoy seeing their enthusiasm and pleasure in just being alive and growing up. They aren't mine, so they are good natured and polite to me.
Best of all, for me, they have helped a little with the Overwhelming Weeds. So what's a little exhaustion? These girls will never be 10 and 14 again. I want to watch them enjoy the ride.

YOU ARE RIGHT, THEY ARE ONLY KIDS ONCE!!!!
The good news is you can SEND THEM HOME in the end. Enjoy their visit. Youth is wasted on the young, don't you think? Did you survive the storm?
Awwh, how cute. It's quite a thing to witness.. kids at that age. These country bumpkins do wear shoes and know how to use forks, don't they? ¤Holly

I am glad all of you are having a great time. That is also wonderful that they are helping with the weeds as well. I was hoping that problem had stopped over there. This is an excellent way for children to enjoy the summer just by spending time at Auntie's house.
Have a great night!!
