Hey B, Great photo of R&B at the top of the post (I too liked the way you cropped it). Deserving of a frame!

What a wonderful crafty idea, I am sure all seven of the kids loved it.

And Rapunzel must love Aunties Boot Camp if she keeps coming back for more. And if my little girl eats any more than she does now when she is older, I will have to go back to work.

You’re such a good Auntie. She’s getting so big! Eleven! (My youngest niece is 11, too…and she’s growing like a WEED. The tween thing is sorta freaking me out.) :)

My 8-year-old is also a bottomless pit. She’s so thin that I need to pull those re-sizer elastics as tight as they can go so that her pants will stay up, yet she eats and eats and eats. I wish I had her metabolism.

Looks like you’re having an AMAZING week with your niece! I like having older kids around once in a whiel to keep my kids occupied, but it’s always nice to go back to “normal” when they go home as well.

My mother was thoughtful enough to have a baby when I was 19, so I have a sister that’s 11! She just spent a week here, and, like you say, it’s a great age! She’s young enough that she can still spend hours playing with the kids, but she’s also responsible. Second the bottomless pit phenomenon, though!

My 11-year-old eats a ton, too! I figure she’s just in a growth spurt. I just make sure it’s not ‘mindless eating’. You know: stuffing her face in front of the TV. :)

Sounds like you’re having a great time. The beach always looks so peaceful.
