Babysitting & Photos

Well, this summer passed all too quickly. DD#1's daycare provider did a vanishing act so guess who ended up babysitting. How come I can't have the kids that can watch TV, wipe their own butts and fetch their own drinks and snacks. How come I always get the ones who need diapers changed, bottles warmed and of coarse they've already napped so they need to be entertained for hours. It's been so long since I've actually babysat I almost forgot what the fifth little piggy did. Fortunately, the one year old didn't notice. Oh heck, I'm not really complaining. It actually was kinda fun. He's a cutie with a sunny disposition.....just like his mommy [who probably gets that from her mommy ;o) ]


"Who made this big mess?" (quote from Loonette the clown of The Big Comfy Couch)


Kids are getting cellphones at younger and younger ages and he's getting pretty good at texting.



Bright as a button!
Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go clean the milk and drool off my floor.

Yeah, I did the 3 under 3 thing too. Crazy, but now they are grown.
You know what they say " grandkids are our reward for not killing our children"

One of mine almost didn't make it to adulthood but I'm sure glad she did.

I'm glad to hear that J is getting ahead. And technoligicly advanced - I bet he can Gooooogle. We should get Shawny and J together:

Come on in, let's begin
We will have such fun today.
Let's pretend Shawny's a friend
Come to frolic and to play

Dogs and toys, songs and noise
These have made the hours fly
Bow wow wow - that is how
Shawny's bidding us good-bye!

I see that you haven't lost your knack.

It's like riding a bike.

What a cutie!!! I am now enjoying my ggkids. The littest angel is 14 months, busy as a beaver, and so sweet. He favor his Dad (who is Samoan). Has a beautiful mouth and eyes that slant a bit. They are a wonderful green. It is so wonderful to be able to see my 4th generation grow. They are exoectubg what I hope is a little sister in January. Poor mommy will be so busy with two little ones under 2. I went through tht with my last two. 21 months apart.

I survived too. My 1st was three when my 3rd was born. I'd like to say it wasn't all that difficult but it was.

You get the kids, I get the dogs, Kim's dog tomorrow while they go to Play Land with Rob and Ryan, and then wave good-bye to them as they head for home.Friday Tartan will arrive to stay for a week while L&K while K attends his High School Reunion in California, tho' I won't have to check butts, wipe noses,or warm the milk.

At least you can give them a good brushing and have some spinnable hair for yourself. Even if J's hair were spinnable he's got most of it covered by his helmet. The head reshaping is coming along nicely. Last I heard, he has gained 5mm on th flat side.

What a cutie, he has your beautiful blue eyes. Even I know that having little kids over to the house automatically means the floor has to be mopped after they leave.

Actually, I did the babysitting so I figured DH could do the cleaning up.
