Tuesday evening, mom and I watch my nephew's kids while he works. As always, they're a handful of energy and fun. And sometimes, they can be a little bit much. But that's just being kids.
Last night, they were wound up tight. We kept them busy turning paper plates into pumpkins. Err, jack-o-lanterns. Then a few rounds of corn hole. By then the Wold Series game was on, and mom was ready to settle in to watch.
I tried to entertain the kids with a Match game, but they continued to argue and fuss. It had just grown dark, so we took a walk to check out the Halloween decorations on houses. Wasn't much, but the walk did them good. I know it was good for me!
I think part of the reason they were so wound up is my nephew, J has a girlfriend. And she was coming over. It was interesting to observe the kids with her, but I see potential for problems. She had promised to make cookies with the kids, and then had to put off that promise because its a school night. Kids are funny, they have their own ways, we'll have to see how this works out.
In the meantime, no gym today as I need to wash my car and do some household chores. Plus its a gorgeous 70 degrees and that makes folks want to be outdoors ... me included!!!
