Today was my volunteer day. I babysit my neice and nephew one day a week. We have lots of fun and it brings back the playful times when my kids were younger. They demand full attention and play play play till you drop time. Being an aunt I am able to drop everything and dedicate the day to them. Today was only a 5 hour day but we packed it with action. We played at the pool for almost 3 hours. They love to swim and I do too. It is so nice to have a pool in our neighborhood that we can go to. It would have been nice when my kids were young to have access to a pool for free all day fun. My folks had one in their backyard but it was small and there wasn't other people there to observe and entertain you. We played ball, boogie board, noodles, jump and swim, turning flips and sit and watch. It was hot so the pool was cool and refreshing. Then we ate shells and cheese (another plus being an Aunt I don't have to provide nutritious food we can junk out). We had frozen pops and cheetos. Then we played Guess who, they love that game. The big ball is lots of fun especially down the stairs as fast as you can and then turning flips with it. Next week we will find new adventures and play with no rules!! It wears me out and I whine about it sometimes but I love spending time with these littles ones. Time flies and I know before long I will be attending their graduation and off they go!
