Life races by

So... yesterday I was Auntie Knittinchick being a hero to 5 and 8 year old dear friends. We went to car racing with cars, little mini cars, big trucks and everything. I had gotten in for free and their parents (dear friends of mine) kept on thanking me for taking their kids with me. I kept on thinking, "Are you kidding? They are what will make it fun!"

The boys were adorable... and the only things that they quasi disagreed about was who got to sit on Auntie's knee or cuddle while we cheered on the cars, observed tire blowouts, watched tow trucks pull out different crashes. Overall a great afternoon for families and it tended to be a tad red neck (but incredibly kind and funny) crowd.

I had moments where I was thinking about the environment and all the exhaust etc. But it all didn't matter. I was Auntie Knittinchick and a hero to the cutest guys ever who gave me lots of hugs and thanked me over and over for our Date yesterday afternoon.

On the ride home, we started planning our next Auntie Date. Even though we talked about lots of things, we are either going to go swimming or bowling next time. I don't think I've enjoyed a date in a long time!

What fun! Sounds like you have a couple of awesome 'adopted' nephews. Two at a time - good on you, KC! Enjoy those dates!
