| First thing in the morning? Yes please |
What's a girl to do? Pretend that they aren't adorable? Act like I don't notice that they are hilarious?
Call them my brother and sister when they are still "the babies"? Actually my awesome nickname for them is Chivelings, like chives, only since their little I added "lings". The things I do to entertain myself.
The fact that I entertain them as much as I entertain me is a testament that we three are basically soul mates. And by soul mates I mean I get along with them better than I do with most kids their age.
So, checklist of summer adventures with the chivelings? ...
- watch each and every Harry Potter movie together
- bake chocolate chip cookies (eat more dough than actually baked cookies)
- singing along (mostly just dance) to Michael Jackson
- read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone via flashlight when the power goes out in the middle of the first movie
- take them surfing in town for the first time
- go early morning skateboarding
- convince them that I did, indeed, receive a letter from Hogwarts when I was eleven saying I was accepted
- have them figure out that I did not, in fact, receive a letter from Hogwarts when I was eleven saying I was accepted
- play monkey in the middle and be shamefully defeated by a 10 and 9 year old
- teach Kason a new piano piece, teach Kaile how to not suck at painting her nails
and last but not least, today we watched the Harry Potter documentary together, seriously debating the best and worst aspects of each movie and ultimately deciding that Voldemort is very much a bad guy, and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the best movie, but Goblet of Fire has the best action scenes.
And just in case you have never seen them act out Nacho Libre scenes:
