Our child-free week here in Jenworld is nearly over. Pete and I went out for dinner on Monday and Tuesday and are going out again tonight. Tomorrow, I go pick up the girls.
While Pete and I have enjoyed this down time, we definitely miss our girls. We’ve called them every night and, while they seem happy enough to talk to us, it’s clear that we’re usually interrupting them while they’re in the middle of something fabulous.
Think I’m kidding? Take a look at these photos my sister emailed me:
Um, NO, I don’t think my daughters are ever going to want to come home.
OMG, they are in auntie heaven!!! Looks like lots of fun.

That is hilarious! If that is what they have been doing than you obviously have been interrupting them when you call! How fun!

That is so cute; how great they can have such a fun time with people that you are comfortable leaving them with! If they never went away long enough for us to miss them, we’d never know how special they really are, right? Especially when they’re driving us insane. The best part is they definitely missed you too. There just aren’t any photos of that!

What? My mom never did this! That’s why aunts ARE cool. Sorry Jen.
I’m sure I’m going to get the same picture in 7 years time.

Ah, so while you eschew the spa life, the Aunt teaches the girls to enjoy the finer aspects of treating yourself! : )
(Do you think she’d adopt me for a few days too?)

Oh dear. Auntie M found something more enticing than cupcakes!
I LOVE the colors they chose.

Aunties are for spoiling! But, I might buy some Twinkies, just in case!

Being an aunt is WAY more fun than being a mom.

I think we ECOwomen should all get together and have earth-friendly (or maybe that should be fish-friendly) ”Pedicure”

So cute! I’m glad they are having a blast! That’s my kind of Auntie!

I do the same thing with all my nieces. You can’t help but spoil the girlyness! Love the girl time and love even more enjoying it when they are with me.
They are quite naturals at enjoying pedicures.

That looks like lots of fun! I don’t think I’d want to come home either.

I am jealous of your girls! I would gladly sport blue toe nails if I got to get a pedicure. Budgets are no fun.
