Babysitting

As I mentioned last week, we babysat for friends of ours on Memorial Day, and the following day. We had lots of fun with them, and made sure to wear them out so they’d go right to sleep when their parents picked them up later that night. J



After having a sleepover in my room the night before, they enjoyed a breakfast of toast, scrambled eggs, and berries left over from our Memorial Day dessert.

After breakfast, we let them play awhile and then we made peanut butter cookies together! They both love to help out in the kitchen.

Somebody also loves to eat cookie dough. J

 


While the cookies baked, Josiah read them both a story.



After they ate lunch, we took them on a walk. They got to watch the turtles in the pond, pet the neighbor’s horses, and more.

When they got back, we made orange smoothies together and then they relaxed and watched a short movie. Once the movie was finished, I gave them both a bath, put on their pj’s, and packed up their things.



Meanwhile, Mama Betsy made them this adorable dinner! This is always a hit with kids.

After dinner, they played some more while they waited for their parents to arrive. Unfortunately they got delayed in traffic and arrived a bit later than expected, but we just had time for more fun!



Towards the end of their time at our house, EJ got so tired, she fell asleep! Poor thing was probably so tired after going to bed late the night before and not having a nap that day.

They kids were quite excited when their Mommy and Daddy arrived! We had such a good time with them, and were so glad to have that opportunity to serve their family!
