While the Cat's away the Mice will Play!

& by that I mean my brother, Joe

Aunt Mali has been helping us raise our children since 1993.

Whenever we tell the kids that we are going on a trip the first thing they ask is, "who's keeping us?"
The second I tell them, "Aunt Mali", they all get really excited and
seem to develop a case of the giggles.

Why ?

Hmmmmm..................Let's see.............................................



"Are they gone? Really! You mean it!"


" I promise, Aunt Mali! This is part of our school work!
The Wii is a Powerful Learning tool!"


" Mom let's me play on the computer while everyone else is napping...
honest!"


"If you do it this way, you don't need the Hot Chocolate!"


"Just point & press.....is this right?!"


"Your not going to show Mama & Daddy these pictures, are you?"


"If you are going to help me change the world,
You have to learn THE SIGN!"


"How big do you think the cake will be if we use THREE boxes
of cake mix?"


"I CANNOT believe you know my secret identity
& STILL refuse to let me eat M&M's for breakfast......I bet BATGIRL
gets to eat M&M's for breakfast!"


"Whoever said Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend
didn't have a NINTENDO DS!"


"Back away from the table, Boys!
You don't help..You don't get to lick the bowl!"


"But we all want to sleep in the same room!"


"We'll go to sleep...We promise!"


"Mama's not here to protect you-Caleb! "


"No! I'm not making faces at the other kids! This is
what we call self -expression ."

So now they want to know when we are going away , AGAIN!

Can't imagine why they would get so excited!

Can You?


Peace.
