Babysitting

Ok so here we go. I have been watching my two youngest nephews. who are 1 1/2 and 4 ok. They are Shannons children. Well you see my youngset is now 16 so there is a big difference. I have watched them before, but this time.

Man I give all you moms who have little ones credit. Im finding im going back in time like 13 yrs. Liam is happy to play games, watch tv, color, etc but the little one Jake, no I think he has found every nook and cranny in this house before I have.
He loves going into the Garage maybe he will be a mechanic some day hang on gotta go find him its too quiet.. ok he was just throwing Megs shoes down the stairs. He loves to play with anything BUT toys. He loves my big water bottles and the milk jugs he brings them to the living room and puts them on the couch then hits them off onto the floor he thinks this is funny. At least he is not getting into the cat and dog food like last time, when he was in crawling motion. You see now he walks all over and up and down the stairs. Oh yes he loves to try and use my sons big hockey sticks in the front entrance. I will try and snap a few photos this week when he is doing these things. I do miss the entertainment of the little ones. But I sure am not use to it. One of the things I do not miss is the dirty diapers man I cannot even get my girls to change one.
One thing that Liam did after I was done groceries I had bought as a treat some chocolate chip teddy grahams ( Im allowed to treat it is the aunite book ) any way Liam was helping me unpack he saw the teddy cookies and said "oh.. my... gosh" it was so funny you probably had to be there as it was all in the way he said it. If any of you know Liam he loves to comment on things. I will try and post some more comments as the week goes on. Dave and Shannon if you do get around to reading this your boys are fine and very entertaining. Oh ya thanks for the flu too. It went right through the house I had to call in sick for a day of work I have not done that in 2 yrs. Monica and Josh got to miss a exam too. Better go gotta go get some homework done while they are busy playing as we are going to Walmart when Meg is done work tonight. Liam wants to meet her BF. He keeps asking.

Finally some SNOW

Who likes snow? I do I do. I must admit I'm not one of those people that do not like the snow. I love to be able to go out side and smell the fresh air when new snow has fallen. I think it is so pretty that is until you add all the sand and salt and the snow goes brown and muddy. I love to cross country ski and snowshoe I recieved some for my birthday last april and have not been able to use them yet wonder why!
I pray everyone had a wonderful Christmas! And I'm sure eveyone had a superior New Years. As a family we went to Niagara Falls as my husbands birthday lands on the 31st of Dec. He turned 45 this year wow what a young buck eh. We had a lot of fun well I sure hope everyone did. I never heard that they were bored. We stayed at a hotel with a full breakfast and a indoor pool. On New Years day Ron, 2 of my daughters, and myself headed down to see my sister in West Virgina. The other 2 had to work. We did nothing but shop ( of course) and visit. It was short but sweet. We came home on the Wed. It is just nice to see them instead of just talking to them on MSN and the phone.After we came back it was back to the book work and work itself. I had a assingment due on the 7th and had I finished it yet? Not. Well I did finish it on time and happen to get 85.5 % not bad eh. I can do better though. My next assignment is due on the 7th of Febuary. I have already started it. I have to contact a few departments and go asses them fun wow. One being the local hospital the other the local high school. Ill let you know how it goes. I was going to post a picture of the snow but I will do that tomorrow. Hope eveyone has a great evening Be bcak soon.
