A very entertaining weekend. My two nephews, The Surgeon General and The Cap, spent Saturday evening with us. By the end of the evening, I was thinking of this lady with such elevated esteem, that if she ran for President, she'd have my vote.
At one point I offered to take the boys out in the golf cart to a rather wet, marshy area of the farm where frogs can be found in abundance. They were rather pokey about finishing their snacks and washing up, so I hollered, "The golf cart leaves in two minutes. Anyone not standing at the front door with hands and face ready to be inspected can stay behind and help The VP change The Governor's diaper."
I think electricity might mover slower than those boys did. The SG, The Cap, and The Senator were all at the front door with dripping wet paws in less than 45 seconds.
We went and caught frogs. The Cap (age 7) was so happy that at one point he yelled, "Cathy, you're the BEST AUNT EVER!" And so I was for that evening. I will lose the title eventually, say when Aunt P. takes him shopping, or Aunt E. lets him sit in her squad car...but I ruled on Saturday.
I brought the boys back home on Sunday when I came in for my soccer game. Well, it was nearly a game. The weather was so hot and humid that we mostly stood around hoping someone would kick it really far out of bounds so we could stand and rest while someone walked to retrieve the ball. I think there may have been one goal scored. No one was sure, because the effort to bring the ball back up to the half line for a kick-off was too much effort. We re-started the ball as a goal kick.
Today's weather seems as promising. The Chapstick in my car is now a vial of liquid wax instead of a solid. Still...never travel anywhere without it.
More later if The Governor decides to bless us with a nap.
