Gordo's first sleepover

Recently my cousin had to tend to a few things and so asked me to watch her kids. Since some of the stuff she had to do was in the evening I said, "Well just let them spend the night" to which she happily obliged.

While they are in fact 'big kids' and can in fact take care of themselves they definitely took a toll on my exhaustion level and I think that is only because they are absolutely fascinated by everything and have the energy of me after 14 hrs of sleep, 4 shots of espresso and 2 redbulls....yea. Needless to say we had a great time and I'm so glad they were able to hang out with us.

Jackson was especially excited because he got to hang out with big kids and did his best to 'play it cool'. He tried really hard to play video games but he doesn't yet know to pick Yoshi instead of Toadstool because he is just faster in Mario Kart (duh).

Then we went to Mighty Fine for dinner and J was a little TOO excited about a burger, fries AND a milkshake (no he didn't really eat any of these things but he sure was excited about them). Additionally he matched the restaurant's tablecloth...so NOT cool J.

In the end the big kids LOVED having Jackson around, and come on who wouldn't? He IS totally rad. Before bed we talked about ex-boyfriends (yikes!) why there isn't Wi-Fi on trains, and I gave a brief synopsis on EVERY SINGLE book in our library. Since Jack lives here too his books were a little more difficult to explain. Especially when the main question I'm trying to answer is, "What's Politics? Like America?". Seriously sweetie, you have got to broaden your reading horizons...but once again, I digress...
