I'm pooped, weekend recap

My sister and nephew at Christmas-time.  I'm so excited for Christmas!!!!

I went to Ga on Friday.  The beginning of the trip consisted of and me playing with the niece and nephew, which mostly meant me watching them play with Miles (my doggy) and making sure they didn't torture him too much.  Play also consisted of saying thank you to my niece as she brought me things that she had so kindly taken out of my bag. 

Saturday morning was peanut ball (baseball for little people).  I love how entertaining children can find dirt; those little 3 and 4 year olds were certainly more interested in playing in the dirt than catching and throwing the ball.  I guess you can get away with that when you're little and cute.  Then Avis, Charon, and I tried to go thrifting.  We started at a Goodwill near the house where Avis and I found a few things.  Next we moved on to Rag-O-Rama in little 5 points.  They had a few cute things, but were way overpriced for a thrift store.  We ended up at H&M in Atlantic Station.  Then we went home.  I'm not sure if it was the shopping or what but I was pooped by the end of the day.  As much as I love them, thank God the little ones were asleep when we got back home; this meant that everyone got to go to sleep. 

Sunday morning I was kindly awakened by my nephew who felt the need to inform me that he needed to potty.  Now mind you that his bedroom is about 4 feet from his room upstairs and I was sleeping all the way downstairs.  He couldn't go to the potty because it was dark in there so instead he thought it was better to walk all the way downstairs and get me so I could go back and turn the light on.  His mom says, but it was dark down the stairs and he replies, I know and I was scared the whole time.  Lol, I love the rationale of a 3 year old. 

Phew, I am exhausted.  I got back home today (Sunday) around 11am and have already taken two naps and am planning to go to bed as early as possible.  Geez, how is it that children have sooooooooooo much energy?  More importantly how is it that parents can keep up with them :-/  Guess I'll learn the secret someday, but for now I am going to say kudos to all those out there raising balls of energy aka children. 

All in all a great weekend.  I hope that everyone had a great weekend, let me know what you did!!!

Tootles for now
