Alene hjemme / Home alone

I tirsdags var mine nevøer og jeg alene hjemme. De andre var nemlig i Chicago for at hente niecens veninde. Min mindste nevø ELSKER at spille Minecraft, og han havde vist planlagt, at han så kunne sidde og spille hele dagen, når hans mor ikke var hjemme. Det gad jeg ikke at han gjorde, så først tog vi i boghandlen og tvang ham med. Han hyggede sig vist! Der fandt vi alle Shrek filmene og blev enige om at lave Shrek-maraton. Det er ikke så tit de sådan laver film-maraton, er jeg ret sikker på!

On Tuesday, my nephews and I were home alone. The rest of the family had gone to Chicago to pick up my niece's friend. My youngest nephew LOVES playing Minecraft, and I guess he planned to play all day, since his mom wasn't there. I didn't want him to do that, so first, we went to the book store and told him he had to come. He had a good time! We found all Shrek movies and agreed on making a Shrek-marathon. I don't think they get to watch that many movies very often!

Min nevø på snart 19 kørte os til boghandlen. Han kører udmærket bil, og blev endda lidt udfordret, da jeg havde tastet en forkert adresse ind og han blev nødt til at køre gennem centrum. (Tak, Moster! Eller noget.)
Vel hjemme igen fandt vi så ud af, hvad hunden laver når den er alene hjemme og døren til soveværelset ikke var lukket. Den ved også, hvilken seng der er mest blød!

My nephew, who is almost 19, drove us to the library. He is a good driver and even had some challenges after I picked the wrong address and forced him to drive through the city center. (Thanks, Moster!)
Well back home again, we saw what the dog does when it is home alone and the door to the bedroom is not closed. He also know which bed that is more soft!

Min mindste nevø blev (igen) tvunget til at undvære spil. Vi så alle 4 film, med nogle gåture ind imellem. Dels hen at købe is, dels for at hente pizza. Jeg strikkede og strikkede, og det gik godt fremad med nummer 2 strømpe.
Det var virkelig, virkelig hyggeligt!

My youngest nephew was (once more) forced to live without playing. We watched all 4 movies, and took some walks in between. One to buy ice cream, one to get pizza. I knit and knit, and the second sock is really growing.
We had such a nice time!

Vi gik også tur med Bailey. Plus naboens hund, Buddy. De to er måske ikke de bedste venner, men det var sjovt at se, hvordan de hele tiden skulle snuse til det samme og skulle tisse PRÆCIS samme sted som den anden. Det var virkelig, virkelig varmt, så det blev ikke en kæmpelang tur, men det føltes nu godt lige at få luftet nevøerne.......

We also took Bailey for a walk. With the neighbors dog, Buddy. Those two are not really best friends, but it was fun to watch how they all the time had to sniff the same places and pee at EXACTLY the same spot the other just peed. It was really, really warm, so it wasn't a giant trip, but it felt good letting the nephews out in the air.......
