I Whip My Hair…

Home from school

Home from school they came, raced into the house for a snack.

I am so going to miss these moments.

My nieces and nephews: Young and free. Close enough to hug whenever I want to.

Mini cupcakes on a checker board.

Gobbled in a few bites, adding just enough fuel for the remaining of the day.

They raced back outside.

 

 

Whip my hair

 

Whipping their hair back and forth.

Laughing 'cause they were so dizzy.

 

Dancing in the sunset

 

Dancing in the sunset on the canal bank.

 

Jumping in the sunset

 

Having fun on the outdoor set.

 

 

Whipping hair

 

Whipping their hair in circles, knots galore.

 

 

Long hair fun

 

Walking in a daze.

 

Hair sun

 

 

Teasing to do it again.

 

 

Guy cousins

 

A rare moment where they are not "pretend" fighting, 

 

Long hair cousins

 

Hugging for a photo.

 

Mmm

 

The Three M's:

Marie

Maci

Molly.

 

 

 

BFF cousins

 

Best cousins.

 

 

Having fun on the bank

 

Having fun on the bank. Too bad I was on the other side of the canal with the sunset facing them instead of facing me.

 

Never grow up

I begged them to never grow up.

Fat chance.

Sunset

Goodbye Sunset.

    Wow! Lucky you! Last time I spoke to Aunt Dolores she told me you’re the one she calls for when she needs something she can’t reach.
