I got my niece sleeping soundly, finally. After watching Cars 2 in the theater (niece claimed to not want to watch a "boy" movie though she loved Cars 1, but when I said I was vacuuming she was persuaded to watch the movie from her sensitivity to loud noises), they show up ready to have fun. No fun, we are eating dinner that is cooking in the microwave. Nephew is still getting used to the idea that "Auntie" is not "Mommy". He asks for milk, but doesn't touch it and to do their Superman prayer. Nephew does not like the chicken coating and refusing to eat bad chicken that has brown on it. I try to explain the brown is just the part touching the bone, it is not bad. Niece asked for the chicken legs and was full after eating the coating. Ok, I say, you are so full then you don't get dessert. Oh she is hungry now. Help both remove the chicken from the bones. Nephew asks about my missing salt and pepper shakers. They were snowman shakers and since it is summer w/out any snowman around, they are put away. Dessert follows and I drink the milk nephew neglected. Nephew is upset about sharing germs as I drink from his cup. Kiss his cheek and explain that we have now shared germs. We watch a movie as my nephew has to drag out all the games. Need a new rule that nephew is no longer allowed to touch the games. He keeps grabbing that are too old for him to play and leaves them all over the floor. I did finish my Marco Polo book.
Movie done so it is time for bed. They want Christmas stories and the Christmas themed blankets. It is the middle of summer and they obsess over Christmas things. Their parents packed the swimwear when I said it is too cold for swimming and forgot the toothbrushes. Kids just will have to have stinking breath until they get home. Set up night light and kiss good night. Call sister to ask when is she coming tomorrow. Now I need to get to bed.
