I Confess...
I LOVE being an Auntie. I mean I REALLY love it. I always love any time I get with my nieces and nephews. So when Zachary(11) and Brock(8) asked if they could come over and play the other day Big Daddy and I went to pick them up. We spent a good long time out on the patio, spitting sunflower seeds and chasing the sprinkler.
They were in HEAVEN. Yes, really...spitting sunflower seeds and chasing the sprinkler.
I Confess...
Brock got hit by the sprinkler and got his shirt wet, like really wet. So we told him to take it off and lay it on the slide to dry out.
I Confess...
When he took off his shirt I just about died laughing...because I saw this on his belly.
I Confess...
When I asked him about it he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Truth or Dare. No questions.
I Confess...
Then I really died laughing. Hilarious!!
I Confess...
The boys asked if I had any parachute men to play with. I usually have them on hand, but I wasn't sure so I said I would check. When I found that I did and handed to them they actually cheered and gave me BIG hugs.
Over parachute men.
They then spent the next few hours playing with them. Making different contraptions to make them go higher, or faster, or slower...HOURS!
I Confess...
I REALLY love that this day of fun didn't require batteries. That imaginations were used. That laughter happened. That memories were made.
I Confess...
I also love that when one of the parachute men got stuck in a tree that Zachary followed my advice to use his shoe to knock it down.
I Confess...
It was bad advice. The shoe got stuck.
Then my dad and Big Daddy used a variety of methods to get the shoe and parachute guy down.
Hilarity ensued. More laughter, imagination and memories were made.
So, what are you confessing this week?

Sounds like you had a great day with your nephews - I have several myself. I don't get to see them as often as I'd like, but they are a hoot! Have a great weekend!
i confess it sounded like a wonderful day
Looks like you had a great day... lots of fun :)
Being an aunt is SO much fun. I love the belly button picture.
The belly button picture is so something Turbo would do. He would just say he didn't know why he did it. But he would do it.
Sounds like you all had a great afternoon.
Belly button pic is too cute. Nephews are awesome!
I L O V E being an aunt too :) it is the best and you look like you are really good at it they are lucky to have you in their lives because that was a super day & post. I am new friend/follower.
I confess that I'm glad you're back! :)
What an extremely happy, fun day! Yay for being an aunt!
what a great day!! I love when imagination is used instead of electronics!! Glad to hear they still enjoyed stuff like that at that age!
Hey, those are some future engineers you've got there! :)
I miss those days of imagination, sunlight, and random Truth or Dare ridiculousness. They're blessed to have you two for Auntie/Uncle, and to be able to come over and hang out. I love how close you are to your extended family! :D
Sounds like you guys had an absolute blast! That's too funny about the Truth or Dare smiley on his stomach. Kids are funny!
I have never heard of parachute men.. I'm thinking I need to invest in some - they sound pretty darn cool!
I can totally see dad and fonzo trying to get the shoe from the tree. Did dad draft up a master plan on graph paper on his ipaddy first? Did he fashion a jig?
Love those boys, you are lucky lucky to live so close to all of them!
Being an aunt is the best!! And what is with kids and writing/drawing on theirselves? It's crazy!
such cute boys! LOL at the truth or dare! Too funny!
Sounds like a delightful day. What a fun aunt and uncle they have. I bet they love having you close!
I was never too sure about being an aunt to nephews, but once my first nephew was born - I was hooked to that little man! There is something so special about nephews, one that you're clearly taking advantage of! You sound like a great aunt!
I love this.
This post could be part of my letter. It shows your love of kids...your desire to be a mom, and a GREAT one at that, shines through.
