Spring Break Week 1

My sister and her two kiddos, plus a very tall nephew (Brandon) joined us for our first week of spring break.

Little C was RELIEVED his older cousin tagged along. I know it gets hard when everyone is younger than him so I was super excited for him to have a way fun compadre. 

They embarked on the joys of Jump Time and an outing to Dave and Busters. 

These two boys are cool - they would have been content sitting around chatting with the adults most of the day. One evening my nephew plugged his IPOD into my kitchen cabinet stereo while Shanny and I were cleaning up dinner.

He loves to go through new and old tunes asking if we know the artists.

We surprised him by not only knowing the music but by starting a mosh pit right then and there. My sister and I were jumping up and down - barreling into Little C, Brandon, and each other.

They didn't get it.

Then somehow this led to an intense rap competition where the women were crowned victorious.

Shannon beatboxed and busted out an old 90's rhythm method while I did my best rendition of  -

Whatta Man by Salt 'N' Pepa.

My dear son and his cousin must have been impressed by our skill.

Must have.

The younger kids played and played and played - ignoring the adults most of the time which is sometimes delicious. 

Moo and my little niece were inseparable and Shanny's son fits right into the mix at our home.

Love these peeps.

What happy, happy kids.
