Holy Crap...

Am I ever tired. I have to say I am glad my child is old enough to take care of himself. I just got home from babysitting and I am pooped. I loved it, but am pooped. Got to sit for my niece's for the first time in a long time and over night too, so that was fun. I got to take some pics, although they mostly came out lousy....and we only got to take them by telling Syd we only wanted them for ourselves and we would not let anyone else see them as she was not in makeup or her hair was not done up.

We lied. Here are a couple.

I think I played every noisy game possible with Sam

I got to watch Syd lose it and nearly pull her hair out when her laptop battery died and shut off while she was chatting with her girlfriends around 10:30 pm

I got to see her go crazy trying to start up 3 different computers for about 30 minutes to try to connect to the friends again before remembering there is something called a TELEPHONE
I got to see the bewildered look on her face when Shank found her $67 stash in about 5 seconds she hid in her private hiding place that nobody has EVER found
I got to stay up till 2 am

I got to sleep on a couch with a 8 foot teenager and an 7 foot wild child that talks, farts and kicks in her sleep

I got to get up at 4 am to find the LOUD alarm that nearly scared me and Sam to death

I got to get up for good at 5 am cause Syd had a belly ache from the pizza she ate at 11 pm

I got to hear Sam fart while eating Fruit Loops at 5:30 am

I got to go turn off the LOUD alarm again at 6 am (seriously, what was up with that?)

I got to help Syd figure out what you would have left if you have 4/5's of something....it only took us about 15/20 minutes....(note:my defense is age/lack of sleep) Not sure what was wrong with Syd :)

I got to play the old 52 pickup game on Sam

I got to laugh my butt off when she fell for it and realized they had no clue to what I was doing (it cracked me up though)

I got to laugh my butt off trying to explain to Sam that Mary Kate and Ashley are in their 20's and not babies like on Full House ( she still didn't get it)

I got to laugh my butt off when Sam's cheer leading pants fell off while she was pretending to run a relay race (and when she realized they fell off, she farted)

I got to laugh my butt off again when Shank in an ever continuing effort to keep me safe, tried to make sure I would check before opening the front door in the dark, so I told him to look out the peep hole, he did and could not see anything, I did and could not see anything.....he tried to look again and then opened it anyway and we noticed...there is no peep hole. (it was just a round black magnet on the inside of the door)

I can't see with glasses and he can't see without them

Shank got to tell Sam about when she was born her sister Syd farted in his face constantly

(upon hearing about that...Sam farted)

I got to see just how long 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts lasts between 4 people that have had no sleep (correction: Sam got 7 hours sleep....she farted the other hour)

I got to realize that my brother and his wife have raised two of the fartingest kids possible

Even with all the farting I had a great time and love them to bits! And, I can't wait until the next time!
