The nephews are over, after spending the night. Reece is at a science day camp, and I told the other three they had to go outside for at least an hour. There may have been kicking and screaming - I block that kind of thing out.
About 45 minutes into it, Greyson and one nephew came in and said it was raining. I replied, "Don't you want to go out and dance in the rain?", to which Greyson answered, "Heck, no". So I said, "OK, you can come in. Saved by the weather!" Nephew's response (while doing a fist-pump), "I LOVE the weather!"
They are now back on the computers, playing some game Dan approved. At least they're interacting, right? Meanwhile, I just don't have the energy to fight the whining because for some reason, I have as much work to do during my own summer break as I did when I was required to be doing work. Oh, and I may have a sinus infection thanks to missing one day of allergy medication. Maybe half-assed parenting goes right along with the summer break mentality - do the minimum necessary to function. I'm going with that. And, along this theme, I haven't taken any pictures in at least two weeks, even though (or maybe because?) we've been quite active. I'll try to do better, really. Right after my nap.
