Babysitting

For the four of you read my incredible blog, sorry it's taken me so long to get anything posted! A few weeks, I gladly accepted the opportunity to watch Angie's 2 and 5-year-old for 2 days. You would think after having four children that you're up to the challenge. In the first 10 minutes we were home (none of them had even made it through the door), they found the newly-formed mud created by the melting snow. Of course, each child had only brought one pair of shoes. Luckily, I had other shoes we found for them. S. was so excited to have a friend that she kept climbing on the couches and jumping off the back of them (one of them now has a hole - people just don't design couches for their true purpose - indoor trampoline). Then she proceeded to throw handfuls of dirt from the pitiful house plant that had been sitting there for months without her ever touching the dirt. THEN, M. decides to "borrow" my cell phone and break into two non-functioning pieces. That was all in the first 2 hours. Fortunately, everything improved from this point on, and we thoroughly enjoyed having them here.
