Being an aunt

For the past 12 years I've been an aunt! I have two nieces, ages 12 and 3! Very independent and times stubborn! But overall very good girls. Their are days that they can be "needy" and wanting more attention then one can give. Just a week ago, they were both here at the house. They wanted to do the same thing the other was doing. If one wanted to be on the iPad the other wanted to. If one decided to play a game and so on forth. Its kinda funny how times have changed. When I was a kid, I always loved being outside playing on my grandma's swings, her playhouse,and when she had a pool I loved that as well! I loved playing with my cousin which just lived down the street from me. We used to play teacher and principal! Lol! Loved being both! When it rained we stayed inside and played with the toys she's had forever and have coloring contest! Sometimes we played on our bikes and play cops and robbers! Lol! And we would play baseball even though it was just the two of us! I miss those days of carefree, and enjoying the outdoors. Kids today don't seem to spend time outside, or doing anything that would help them grow.There are many memories that still wished I could do with them today or have them do. Each time they come over I try to share a memory with them or make memories with them! What memories do you have? With grandparents? Or as a kid. Please share! Thanks
