Tonight I spent a wonderful evening with my "soon to be" niece and nephew, Natalie and Harvey. Our night began by teaching them some new songs. We did "A-ump a-ump a Bubble Gum", "Pizza Hut", and "Bumble Bee". We actually did "Bumble Bee" about 10 times! That was Harvey's favorite! In the middle of the song, Harvey started yelling "ice cream! ice cream!". Then, we heard the magical sounds of the ice cream truck. I picked up Harvey and told Natalie to put some shoes on. She was searching frantically around the entryway and couldn't find any. Finally she yelled "Can't I go without shoes, the truck is COMING!" So, we ran out to meet the truck and enjoyed some delicious ice cream. I had a fudge bar; Natalie a Birthday Cake Sandwich, and Harvey got a push-up. Delicious treat while sitting in the sun on the driveway.
We went inside, and Natalie and I decided it was time to paint our nails. I brought along my collection of polishes. It was a tough decision which one to pick!
Harvey sat at the table with us. He didn't seem too excited about the girly time we were having. So, he enjoyed some goldfish crackers. Doesn't he look like he's having fun?
While we were waiting for the polish to dry (red on fingernails and purple on toes), I French braided Natalie's hair. She sat so still for me!
We decided to watch just a little PBS Kids before we got ready for bed. So we curled up on the couch together. When the show was over, we headed downstairs, read some books, and the kiddies fell fast asleep. What a great night! I'm very lucky that these beautiful kids are now in my life!
I'd say you passed the skills test for aunt-dom!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, they had a GREAT time!! Natalie's been talking non-stop about everything you did. When Harvey woke up I asked if he had fun with Tricia and he said, "YEAH! Tricia, Yayyyy!" and started clapping :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, again, for letting us get to Tony's play!
