This past weekend, Zane and I kept our nieces, Anna and Elanor. Mike and Emily, their parents, took a much needed vacation and so Aunt Beth and Uncle Zane were called into duty. We picked them up at 6 AM on Sunday. Little Elanor had a fever so I stayed home with the girls while Zane went to church to help with Sunday school. Zane and I do not have any kid stuff in our house so we had to borrow lots of books, videos, puzzles and games. We set a record for watching Cinderella 3 times within a 24 hour period! That has never been done in the Hart home before. Anna and I also made rice krispie treats while Elanor took a nap. After Zane got home from church, we all went to Faust Park where there is an amazing playground. As soon as Elanor saw the slides, she immediately started running toward them with her arms wide open. Anna had a lot of equipment to show off her amazing flips. And Zane and I learned how tiring it is to watch kids play and make sure they do not kill themselves or some other little kid. By the end of the day, we were all exhausted.
Monday morning was definitely more exciting than usual as we woke up to Elanor screaming and Anna standing naked in the hallway. Thankfully, we were able to double team them, get them clothed and fed. We then took them to the friends who were keeping them next so that we could study for our two exams this week!
