In my attempt to be the favorite Aunt (and to get out of the house after a LONG weekend), me and the crew went to Jumping Jacks!
My hidden agenda was to completely wear the kids out (2 are now asleep - the other 2 are taking turns farting)
Here is a picture for Mike and Annie who miss their kiddos SO BAD while they are laying on the beach, soaking up the sun, snorkeling, sleeping in (etc. ) in Hawaii (ya - I don't believe them either)!
When Chase told Braden to "come on" today, Braden said, "you aren't my boss, only Wesley is!". That Wesley is one smart resourceful kid!
Speaking of the trickster (now that they are done farting) he just told Braden where to hide while he counted to 10 - Braden obeyed - he found him!
Chase likes to think he is the boss of sweet little Grace - she doesn't really understand him, so it works out well. He is really jealous of her, or the fact that she still gets to have a BINKY! He just stares and stares at it!
He also wants to sit in the high chair again and crawled around the whole time they were at Jumping Jacks!
Favorite Aunts also give lots of treats - here they are with their whistle pops (be glad this is not a video - you can't even image the sound coming out of those things during this picture) and don't worry Mike - I didn't give Grace any candy (she was too busy sucking on french fries!). So, Mike and Annie, I am sorry to say that your kids don't miss you at all - haven't even asked for you - they will probably even cry when you come get them! Aloha!

You will definitely be the favorite aunt.
Hey...did u learn the favorite aunt thing from me? I was laughing when you said chase was staring at grace's binky! too funny!
Looks like you get to be the favorite mommy too!
You would be favorite aunt in my book. We love jumpin jacks too! We are there way too often. Your Wesley is a trickster! That story made me chuckle!
no question...fav. aunt hands down-
just ask Ellie, Kate & Sophie :)
Um, ok...you've just been adopted. You could use another sister, right? My kids will be dressed and ready for their new favorite Aunt around 10am tomorrow.
And whistle pops..just bought one today for the little one while we raced around town. Big mistake. Huge.
i dont know about my kids...but you are at the top of my "favorite people in my world" list. #1 or#2 for sure right up there with bono. Love the pretty woman quote from a.m. And i loved seeing those cute kids of mine (and yours) and can't wait to give them a big kiss!!!
I'm sure as you are vying for favorite aunt status you will by going for favorite neighbor when you get my kids next week. They can't wait by the way. And I'm also sure that just like your niece and nephew who aren't asking for their parents, my kids will be having so much fun with you they won't ask for Brett and I either!!!!
Isn't being the favorite aunt fun?!
Your children are so cute. I love looking at their pictures. My 19 year-old daughter could identify with Chase - she had a binky until she was 5. I think she still stares longingly at them!
I'm going to start calling you Auntie D.
You definitely are a favorite...Braxton asks for Dede ALL THE TIME! We seriously need to play!
Get them all sugared up for their parents- way to go! That's a good favorite-aunt-strategy!
