Tie My Shoes? Double Knot?

Most of you already know I have 4 rambunctious nephews.

Adam , Kevin, Brandon and Matthew

I've grown up with them in my life for as long as I can remember.
They fall somewhere short of my little brothers and little sons.

I've changed their diapers.

I've bathed them.

I've been thrown up on.

I've put them to bed at night

I've made them dinner.

I've wiped away their tears.

I've dealt with their tantrums.

Being the youngest of 3 older sisters definitely has it's interesting perks.
One of them being that for a couple hours out of the day I live the life of someone far older than myself.

"She's like their second mom!"

"Our personal nanny!"

not quite. but somwhere along those lines.

Aunt. FAVORITE Aunt will do. :]

Strangely, most of the time I don't mind it much at all.

I've grown so close to these boys that the thought of going off to school and moving away pulls at the strings of my heart even though I don't always admit it. 

I'll miss Brandon's smirks, Matthew's twinkly eyes, Kevin's laugh and Adam's hugs and kisses.

Who will  tell me "I missed you SOOOOO much Dai'!" when I see them like Adam?

We'll see when the time comes.
If and when I decide to take the leap and move away one thing is for sure:
FAMILY TRIP TO BEST BUY.
"yes, We'll need 4 Web Cams please!"

On a random side note:

Kevin knocked on my door earlier.
(seeing as it is pretty much always locked) 
& asked me to tie his shoes.

WAIT. 

Not the regular way.

"Tie my shoes? Double knot?"

How could I say no?


p.s.
mail?
empty.


PATIENCE!
