On the Naughty List

There are some things that just do not fly in my world. One of those things was having a younger sibling. I mean here I am going along as an only child for what felt like ages. Then along comes a little sister. What a pain! I tried my best to be nice. I hung stockings with her and told her all about how Santa would fill them with sweets and treats.

See a sweet sisterly moment, until something happened. She annoyed me so much I started to tease her. I mean it was all in good fun. Of course she could take a joke, so she told our parents. Look it wasn't that bad!

I was only holding her present out of reach. Who hasn't done that to a younger sibling or two before? It's like an older sibling rite of passage or something. I didn't take getting tattled on too well, I know that I was a little extreme in my response, but I was young and emotional. Besides Santa can always use more elves right?
Sure now I may slightly regret it, but hey I am making it up be being a super awesome aunt to her kid. I must have a guilty concious.

Always Thankful for Family

A while ago I took my niece Livy to her grandparents cottage, and while we were there I thought it would be a good idea to take some Thanksgiving themed pictures because I wasn't sure I would see her for the holiday. And because I am all about cheesiness I made sure we had matching outfits. I will not even begin to describe the amount of shapewear I had to wear underneath to get this dress to fit. What can I say the only matching outfits I could find were in the kids department. Once I was trussed up and dressed like a turkey we headed outside to take some pictures. I got the camera all set up on the tripod and angled as best I could. I then scooped Livy up in to my arms and told her to say cheese. It seems the little trickster didn't like my smile and helped "fix" it.

She is just a laugh a minute I tell ya. I thought it would be good for Livy to write down what she was thankful for on an easel I found in the shed. I handed her a piece of chalk and got to setting up the camera for another picture. When I first walked over after adjusting the camera I saw she was thankful for candy. I asked her if there was anything else she was thankful for, knowing there was only one answer I was looking for. She listed a few other things before landing on the one I wanted to see. It's nice to know where family ranks on the list!

Livy's Diner

I got the honor to watch my little niece Livy the other night. Her parents needed an overnight sitter and I got the honor. Right before bedtime she wanted to show me the new diner playset that her parents bought her. And of course as with and imaginative little kid she wanted to make me something tasty to eat in her diner. Being a well trained chef she made sure she washed her hands before cooking anything.

As you can see I am rocking some cute sheep slippers, but they are nothing compared to the ones Livy wore. After washing her hands she hit the fridge to get some pretend food out to cook me her latest culinary creation.

Do you see those little dragon feet slippers she is wearing? You know you wish you had your own dragon slippers don't ya? Anyway I must say that Livy runs the best pretend diner with the tastiest pretend food creations ever. Hey I am an Aunt I am allowed to say that.

Time Out Troublemaker

My adorable little niece Livy has been visiting me a lot lately. I thought I would make a cute little space in my house for her to enjoy, a small play area complete with some space for me to chill and watch her.

Of course as with all kids she caused a little mischief so I needed to put her in time out. Even the fun Aunt needs to have some rule. She was less than thrilled with me.

After her time out we had a brief review of the rules and then some cookies. Cookies make everything better. I may have also promised her a trip to the beach in the future.

Sisterly love or something

I had the girls over to visit this weekend and they were upstairs playing in their castle making paper chains. What can I say it's an inexpensive activity and makes for some cute decorations. Sure call it child labor if you want to, but I paid them in cupcakes. At least I thought I did. I sent Livy upstairs with a cupcake for her and her sister, and this is what I caught her doing while her sister waited!

That little stinker licked both cupcakes! She knew her sister would never want to eat a licked cupcake. She learned all about germs at school and never wanted to get her icky little sister's germs. I took her downstairs for her own lick free cupcakes and she went back upstairs to play after she was all done. A little later I went upstairs because it got a bit too quiet. Anyone who has ever been around kids knows quiet equals trouble.

I guess she was trying to exact her revenge. You can see Livy is just so upset by this whole thing. She knows I would never let her sister give her away, and that her mom would be there soon to get her anyway. I think I need a vacation after a weekend with those two!
