Aunt Katie was officially on duty and in charge of my sister’s two munchkins while she was away in Italy recently!
My goal was to have FUN and keep smiles on their cutie patootie faces 🙂 I dug deep into my Mary Poppins bag of tricks to keep these kiddos entertained! We painted canvases, made tie-dye shirts, shopped for books, rode go karts, had an afternoon picnic, enjoyed yummy ice cream, caught lighting bugs, jumped on the trampoline, went to the park, helped in the garden, visited their great-grandparents and played too many games of monopoly! Along the way, I kept things interesting by randomly singing to them and chatting away in different accents!
I’ve learned that kids sure do keep you on your toes and leave you quite exhausted by the days end! I’ve learned that patience is truly essential, to pack the umbrella, missing Lego pieces are inevitable, sugar cures all until it’s bedtime, and the sound of children laughing is one of the sweetest sounds of all!
