Adventures in Auntie Land

As promised, here is my entry about the time I spent with Jayden and Isabella this weekend. And I know I never got around to writing about the babysitting I did like a month ago, but I can at least sum it up thusly: that day was spent following Isabella as she crawled around the house looking for stuff to get into (she is like a danger magnet, I'm not even kidding) while playing endless make-believe games with Jayden, ranging from police officers to archeologists to construction crews to astronauts to aliens. We get uber-creative with our make-believe games, let me tell you. Not to mention the conversations I had with Jayden all day, which are always entertaining. As an example:

Jayden: Let's go to the planet Pluto!
Me: Okay, but Pluto isn't a planet anymore.
Jayden: But why?
Me: I don't know, it just isn't. It's too small or something.
Jayden: *looks confused*
Me: Tell me about it, kid. Sigh. Poor Pluto.

We actually have conversations like this. Heh.

Because last weekend is more fresh on my mind though, we'll just talk about that for today. I am way overdue for a post talking about my nephew and niece so better to talk about one day than none. Especially considering the hateration I've been getting from dosidella regarding my lack of auntie rambling as of late. Heh. So, Jen, this one's for you.

(Also, I'll give some quick reactions to my first viewing of Mad Men, and of course a Vid of the Day. This time it'll be technically two vids though. Both are courtesy of Current TV, and crack me up everytime I watch them.)
