I'm babysitting 3 kids 11 hours a day plus an hour of driving each way, 5 days a week. So 11 + 2 = 13!!! ;0 The oldest is 9 and the twins are 7. That'll be my life this summer. But hey, I make it fun when I can.

Like today, I announced that "I despise TV and we were going to do something fun!” turned it off and had them follow me outside... The truth is I had no clue what we'd do in their filthy tiny yard... So I pretended to have confidence, like I actually had a plan, and just made it up as I went.


I came across a cooler with wheels in the garage, and a hose by the house... hmmm lots o' concrete in a neighborhood. A little filling up the cooler with water, sticking a kid in it and C&ace becomes a carthorse... annddd presto! Folks, we have water ride! Also neighbor kids appeared out of nowhere and I got a good workout!


Got my paycheck!!! Yehaw!!! Went home. Took siblings and cousins to park. Taught cousin to do back-flips while swinging on the swing set. Played Frisbee. Did some more flips off some bouncy ropes onto wood chips. Bad idea! Got splinters from bad landings! Went to Sonic and got everyone treats. Played tennis and kicked tail! Got home wrote this post. End of day! :) Goodnight....... zzzZZZZZ! ;)
