I've been watching my nieces for the past few nights while my sister-in-law is in New York and her husband is in Italy with Sean. We've had lots of fun! Kelty is always cracking me up with the random things she remembers {"Ariel, I know we jumped on the trampoline one time at the cabin and it was getting dark outside". "Ariel, you can't sleep downstairs on the floor or you'll get sick". "Ariel, I know that you like to eat fries in your ice cream"}. And Teagan melts my heart when she's being cuddly. Steph, I think she's making progress on my name {she almost always calls me Sean}. She keeps pointing at me and smiling and saying "you're Ariel... I'm Teagan Mae!". Anyway... Someone {who is a much better person than I am!} has taught the girls that drinking Dr. Pepper {or Diet Dr. Pepper, in my case} is BAD. And I'm.... well.... addicted. Steph had to quit drinking it because Kelty would tell her it was bad. This is a conversation that took place at about 6:00pm today:
Kelty: What are you drinking?
Ariel: Soda.
Kelty: Is it bad?
Ariel: No.
Kelty: Oh, It's root beer.
Ariel: ... yeah... root beer :)
About 30 minutes later we went and got chicken nuggets for dinner and both girls got root beer. On the way into the house, we had a spill and one of their drinks didn't make it.
Kelty: It's ok. Teagan can have some of YOUR root beer.
.
What could I say? "Uh... Kelty... it's not root beer! It's Dr. Pepper..."? And have her thinking I'm BAD??? So I did what any responsible adult would do and gave Teagan some of my "root beer". And BOY was I regretting that come bedtime! Teagan was a little bit hyper :)
That'll teach me to lie to kids.

Cute girls! I have to lie to my Jonah sometimes but I'm trying to not drink caffeine as much these days.
It sounds like you all had fun except for the spilled drink. I hope it wasn't in your car!
that was an awesome post :) I hope you are enjoying your reunion with Sean!! I have missed you this week! I feel like I haven't talked to you at all! We need to change that!!! Hopefully I'll see ya tomorrow....
That is hilarious!! I would have done the same thing. I also have a serious Dr. Pepper thing going...and of course if you ask my kids what their favorite drink is, they would say "Dr. Pepper"!
