Sunday Night Musings

I'm sitting here at 11:30pm listening to Lee snore in the bedroom. I wouldn't mind that he's asleep for the night since this is a usual thing for him on a Sunday night (and I'm usually trying to finish up laundry), but he's been in there since at least 6:30pm. Anyone else guessing that the time change hit him hard? I was going to make us dinner tonight too.

I spent time with the girls today. I love being an Aunt. I get the love and cuddles that I crave with the benefit of being able to walk away at the end of the day. I know that someday when I am a Mommy that I won't get the walking away benefit anymore but for now I'm enjoying it. As usual when I got there S was excited to see me and D had no clue what was happening. D then dissolved into tears since she equated having both me and Grandma being over to Mommy and Daddy going out. We calmed her down after a while and I think Mommy putting her in for a nap helped too. S and I then went down to the basement (aka toyland) to play together. I was able to convince S to draw me a picture for my refridgerator. It's adorable. She drew me and then she drew herself. She also signed her name. After she was done I had her name the letters in her name. She did fantastic. Later when I got home I added the date and her age. We then went back upstairs and played her Memory Game with the Disney Characters. She's really good at this game and was great at making the matches. She wound up helping me make my matches too. We also watched a Barbie Fairytopia Movie together (while I french braided her hair twice) and then played Barbie Fashion Show on the computer. In 2 weeks S and D will be spending time at Grandma's house since Mommy and Daddy are going away for Daddy's birthday. Auntie Cheryl will be helping out Grandma quite a bit with the girls since Grandma's patience is not as long as Auntie's. Can you say sleepover at Grandma's for Auntie? Lee will love that.
