Slumber Party with AUNT Jenny and Uncle Tomma

Today was Tom's first day of a well earned vacation. Originally, we were supposed to be road tripping back to Maine, however, for financial reasons, we have opted to postpone the trip. Part of growing up is realizing that money doesn't grow on trees. Tom and I are going to make the best of it.

The plan for the day was to have a lazy day and to go grocery shopping. Well, we went grocery shopping, but we also invited Tom's mother, her girlfriend, and his two oldest nephews over for dinner. The boys had speghetti o's while the adults enjoyed a chicken stir-fry that Tom whipped up along with peach mimosas (peach champagne and orange juice). I made a strawberry rhubarb pie for desert, to which I had to giggle a bit because several of the people in my apartment at the time had never had rhubarb. :)

We invited the boys to stay over for the night, which gave me the opportunity to get used to my new title "Aunt Jenny." The boys quickly fell into using it, which just makes me smile. I've never been an aunt before. As far as aunts and uncles go, Tom and I are the kind that the kids want to go spend time with. The boys had an absolute ball. They got to use Aunt Jenny and Uncle Tomma's shampoo during tubby time, and I sprayed them with a little of Tom's body spray so they could "smell like Uncle Tomma". Both boys enjoyed playing with my X-Men action figures, and as you can see from the picture above, I gave our budding rock stars some pointers. After tubby time, Tom made strawberry banana ice cream and we watched Robin Hood. I'm really liking being an auntie. Do I have to give the boys back?
