My day of babysitting

So this morning I was scheduled to watch Dana and Bryan's kiddos. It was just going to be me and Carissa for most of the day so I picked up my niece, Abby, bright and early and made it to the Meyer's at 7:30 AM... that's stinkin' early. We spent the day doing some pretty entertaining things.
First of all, 3 year olds are HILARIOUS without even trying!
We went to McDonalds in Piqua for lunch and they got to spend some time on the indoor playplace. They LOVED going through the tunnels and down the slides.
She did NOT stick the landing on the above picture.

Neither did she : )
They were lovin' up on Ronald even though he gave them the most LAME Happy Meal toys ever. It was some creepy looking alien man. Of course these three year old girls could see past the scaley skin and overall creepiness and I overheard this conversation on our way home:
"Momma, I want to cross the street" -Carissa, clutching monster man
"Honey, you have to hold my hand and look both ways" -Abby in a goofy "adult" voice, also holding her ugly thing.
It was so funny listening to their play!
This dry winter air made for some lovely hair-do's on these girls.

They ended up being pretty good buddies by the end of their day and their shared love of princesses definitly didn't hurt.


After Caeleb got home from school, we played with Play-Doh and we had so much fun that I decided to have Caeleb and Carissa back for the night : ) At my house, we played magic bubble and they had a blast (and my counters got pretty darn clean)! Caeleb was really good at it! Check out that HUGE bubble he blew through his fingers.

Carissa even cought one of the bubbles although it took everything that she had not to pop it before I could take the picture!

Betcha can't do that!
We were all pretty tired by the end of the night, but UNO, snacks, and some made up games were in store before they left around 11:30. I don't know if they fell asleep in the car or not, but Gibby and I hit the bed pretty darn fast! It confirms the fact that I LOVE having kids around (especially when you can send them home at the end of the night!)
