Playing Mom and Dad

Well, we were pretend parents yet again this past week. We watched Jaden and Megan for a few days while Ben and Nat were out of town. It was fun and as-always very interesting. Never a dull moment with a Wright in town. Megan is ALL GIRL oh my goodness. From hauling around a pink purse, to feeling the need to nurture stray animals (be it a cat or a catipillar) to mood swings and not being able to make and keep a decision on what to eat, wear, or do. But when on vacation with aunt trish you can pretty much do, watch and be awake however long you want-the later the better (mostly because they/I could sleep longer-and if you don't know I'm not a morning person, you don't know me.). I did improve my uno and playground skills as well as my ability to carry a scooter across the complex and was reminded of how terrible I am at miniature golf.

If you haven't been miniature golfing with a 3 or 6 year old, I HIGHLY recommend it. Hilarious. They just chase the ball and have the ability to use feet as "backboards" and hit numerous 'hole-in-ones' simply because the ball doesn't stop until its in the hole. I will tell you this- the course was pretty cool.

Michael isn't the only one to sport a fanny pack. The trend is taking over.

Any question as to who's photo-genic daughter this is? Who else but picture-maniac, scrap-a-holic Natalie? She teaches her children to take pictures rather well.

Aaahhh-CHOO

How we kept them quiet.

See, we're good baby-sitters. promise. This is the other thing everyone should see in their lifetime: High School Musical. Not the movie it's self persay, but a 3 or 6 year old watching H.S.M. (yea, that's right, i abbreviated it) back to back with HSM2- seriously adds up to four hours of hilariousness. Although the songs/plot are uber cheesy they are indeed catchy and memorable (I can't get them out of my head) no wonder Jaden and Megan both know the songs and dance along. Too bad Jaden is camera shy, I wasn't able to get a good video. So you'll have to figure out you own way to see it.

I was just happy the sun came out long enough to go to the pool. We really had a good time. Jaden is such a sweetie and an excellent older brother. He watches out for Megan like you wouldn't believe. They both say and do the funniest things. Its been really nice to have some family closer than a three days drive. It's helps keep my mind sane and my eyes dry. . . . We'll try not to get too attached :)
