I don't know if there is an Academy Award for being The Best Auntie In The World....if not, there should be, and if there is then what I did tonight will definitely catapult me into the number one slot....first, let me tell you that I left my tropical home in the Northwest - tropical in comparison to the sub-freezing temperatures I am currently experiencing in Salt Lake City - along with tons of snow....and I am here at to babysit my sister's kids while she and her hubby vacation in the real tropics of Cancun...to say that she is going to OWE ME is an understatement....given the circumstances - and the number of children....FOUR...plus two dogs....
well, that alone would guarantee me the Best Auntie in the World Crown....but wait....it gets better.....tonight, I surpassed all in the annals of Best Auntiedom by taking my two youngest nieces and one of their friends to the Hannah Montana Concert MOVIE....to the tune of $15.00 A PIECE....that's right - do the math - $60.00 to watch Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana jump around the stage for two hours while sitting in a JAM-PACKED theater with screaming girls(the movie was in 3-D so we all have these lovely souvenir glasses!)....my nieces were ecstatic to be there - they thanked me profusely and have now promised to do everything I command....a small price to pay to be sure! 
Oh to be ten years old again...they actually swooned when The Jonas Brothers came on screen...giving me all the pertinent details like their ages, names and how many dates each has had - they know this information from visiting The Jonas Brothers web page a thousand times a day!
It was slightly fun....once I got over the price of the tickets....and the price of the popcorn...to be in a theater surrounded with young girls and to hear them screaming along with the girls on the screen was almost worth the price of admission - it was hysterical!!
So if you know of a Best Auntie In The World Contest.....please enter me...I'm certain I'll win!!! Now then....one day down....9 more to go...pray for me.
