Today, Andy turned 28! HOLY MOLY! How time flies. I can't believe he will be 30 in just 2 short years. Today was also Caleb's birthday, he turned 31.
Since this is 4th of July weekend, we have Monday off! yah! 3 day weekend! I have a lot of stuff around the house, and errands to run, but since I have 3 days to do it, i figure that I would play today :-)
In October when Josh and I got married, I inherited a niece and a nephew. Paige, 9 years old, and Spencer 5 years old. Since they were a little older when we started dating, I was just a "friend" of Uncle Josh's in their eyes, not quite an aunt. And I can say that I have that same feeling too.
I absolutely love kids, and have made it my goal to do more with Paige and Spencer. I want to make the bond between us feel more like family and less like "Uncle Joshie's friend". So today, I decided to steal Paige for some girl time. We went to the mall, the toy store and last, but definitely not least, Michaels! I wanted to do something with Paige that brought out her creativity as well as something tangible that we made together for her to have. We went up and down each isle and found the perfect project - a little shoulder bag that we could decorate. We had a TON of fun doing it, and got some much needed bonding done :-)
