Storm watching

I somehow got myself volunteered to watch a friends two girls aged 10 and 7 yesterday while their dad joined the crowd downstairs to Lan and being around them was like watching a storm build and break around me. We spent the evening escaping to Nim's Island, attempting to make muffins (ok so they made more mess than muffins but they had fun) and being all girly playing with make up and nail polish. Watching the enthusiasim, energy and excitement with which they tackled these simple things was incredible. It made me remember just how much we lose as we grow up and what we as adults miss out on. Although I can say honestly by the time they left I was only to glad sit back and chill with a friend and a bottle of wine. The experience though has left me in a really strange place. It has me wondering about myself and some of the things I do and the ways I react to things, so now I have me a storm building in my mind again while I try to figure this odd wondering out ........ I guess I got caught in the eye of their storm :P
