E, B, C and As

Today I went over to play with E, B and C. Yes, I did put As in the title, he comes a little bit later! ;) Am came to pick me up and drove back to her house. We had a good conversation on lots of subjects. We got there (and remember it was like 88 deg. outside today!) Am and Mr got ready to head out and said good bye's. The girls and I went and swam in the pool (As went with Am and Mr, so yes, I can say girls). We splashed and kinda swam then went to dry off on the play set. The girls were getting hungry so we ran inside for lunch. It was about an hour before C's nap time but she HAD to take a nap NOW! Whatever i guess, whats the cons of that? She wants to take a nap, its earlier than usually but maybe she'll be more tired then... I couldn't find anything wrong with it so I said ok... Are you sure? "YES!" "Ok..." So i got all her necessities upstairs and she laid down. Hmm... Usually I have troubles getting her down and now she asks for a nap? Different but very helpful! The other two watched Spongebob/ICarly/Olivia/Who knows! I got some quiet cleaning time and I didn't feel bad about not playing with the girls because they were content. I got alot done! Wow I sound like a mom, I'm so glad I got to clean and my kids weren't bugging me, my house looks beautiful!. Wow... Sorry about that! C took an AMAZING nap (here I go again with that mom thing). She laid down at around 1120 and didn't get up until after 2! I was very impressed! Am and Mr got home around I'd say, 1:30 (mr had some work related stuff to do). Am had to run one more errand. She left As home this time, yea! At this point C was still sleeping so I went to go check on her. E and B snuck behind me and I wouldn't have known untill E ran into my 'behind'. I told them the had to be as quiet as a mouse so they didn't wake C up! Well she was just laying there, totally awake. We all started laughing, even As ;) We went outside and painted the girls nails! I went inside to get As's swimsuit on so we could all go in the pool. We had a good day and I cant wait till next time!

Im sorry, Im starting again

So, Ive been kinda bad about blogging about my job lately so Im starting over. As of today I will blog again! Yes, I did blog about precious Savannah but other than that, I've been reall bad about it!

Sorry!

Savannah Hope Gores

This 6-month-old girl will be undergoing open-heart surgery within the next few weeks due to a heart murmur. Can you imagine your little beauty going into open-heart surgery at 6 months! Parents Ben and Erica have been so strong threw this process. I ask that you pray for them. They are great parents and have been very calm threw out this! You can read there story that I linked on the parents names. Please pray for healing for Savannah and hope for her family.

The waiting is over! It's done!

The free babysitting night is over! I should have posted this yesterday but after blogging the other stories (sorry there crappy, I was tired) it was time to be done. I have alrighty typed the certificates so if your a follower, your all set! No one can try to sneak in now! I will give them out asap! I might do this again but not anytime soon. Thanks everybody for following and I hope to get more and more!

So Stinkin Cuters

Friday I watched Tat and Turns. Originally we were going to go to a water park, but if you remember what the weather was like, it was definitely not water park weather! My mom brought over and Suz gave me the dets. I was babysitting so she could work on her new biz! Be-a-utiful jewlery! Turn was still asleep so it was some one-on-one time with Tat's. We played lots and lots then I figured I should check on Turn's. He was awake so I brought him downstairs to play. We had snacks then went outside and jumped in the rain puddles! It was very fun for Tat, Turn, not to much... We played outside then the neighbor's nanny came outside and saw us. She waved, I waved back. I figured she was going to put her kids down for a nap but Tat wanted to play with the kids. I sent her over so there nanny could disappoint her :) She told Tat no because it was nap time but they could play later. Good! We played more, ate lunch and then Suz came home.

Con, Ad, D and C

Monday I watched Con, Ad and D. N picked me up around 7:45 AM! Yes I mean AM! It was fine tho. I got in the car and she drove to her house. I got the kids out of the car while she got the stroller out of the car. Well pretty much I got D out of the car! We went inside and the boys started runnin around. Nicole said Goodbye's then left. Ad and Con watched a little TV. I got a bottle warmed feed D and then warmed another one to put in the diaper bag for our walk a little bit later. Am txt me saying 'Hey do you want to come play with C? I have to go to Pottery Barn and I don't want her to break everything in the store' I told her I was babysitting but maybe she could drop C off at there house. Long story short she dropped C off for a little while. The kids got along great! We ate lunch then went for a walk. Con brought us on a very long walk and I couldn't handle it anymore and I don't think any of the other kids could either! We walked back to there house and felt the good ol' AC! We stayed inside for a little bit and then they wanted me to drive them to a park, well that's a problem. 1. I don't have a car, 2. I don't even have a licence! Well thankfully I saw a park that was pretty good size and just down the road. I gathered all the kids and went to the park. This park was MUCH closer then the one Con was bringing us to! They played, D slept almost the whole time (which was good because I could just leave him in the stroller, in the shade and play with the other 3! They played in the sand, the slides (all tho those we a little hot from the sun beating down on them)! D woke up so we stayed for a little bit longer so I could feed him. D finished his bottle and I brought the kids home. The had a snack, I laid D down and Am came to pick up C. A little later N came home. She brought me home then I said my goodbye's.

C and As

Last Saturday I nannied C and As. Am picked me up at around 3 O'clock. We went to a couple of stores then went to there house! Am laid As down and went out for a little bit. As woke-up and I brought the kids to the park. I don't know if you've been reading my blog lately, specifically the post 'Sel kids -1' but I will tell you it is MUCH easier to bring little kids to the park when there is less heat! We started going home after I got a txt from Am saying 'Got food. Be home in 10'(or something of that kind). I figured ok, if I plan carefully, it will take me about 5min to get home then after I get both kids out of the stroller plus the diaper bag it will be about 7 minutes then. 3 minutes for C to run around/watch Little Einsteins, put As in his bouncer, wipe the table and get ready for dinner. Am got home at perfect timing and I called C to the table. We ate then Am went to go get ready. Am left and I got the kids ready for bed. Am put As to sleep so I just had C to watch. I got C ready for bed then laid her down. I went downstairs, cleaned, folded laundry and then As woke-up. It was like 10:30 and very late for a baby to be up but I just figured it was feeding time or he just had a bad dream. I went up there, rubbed his tummy then shut the door. I made it to the top of the stairs then he started screaming again. I went in there held him, then set him back in his crib. Once again I made it to the stairs. I was thinking 'Ok, I have a lot o laundry in the living room to fold, plus more in the dryer, ok I'll just bring him downstairs, put him in that toy then hopefully he will fall back asleep and I with finish folding! Well he didn't fall asleep, I txt Am and said hey he's up what do you want me to do? Well she came hope and feed him then we talked in to the wee hours of the night. I slept over at there house that night so my mom didn't have to come get me. Mr was out of town and Am couldn't just leave C and As home alone. It was a very fun night! She brought me to church in the morning and then my parents just took me home from there.

Signing off for My Adventures in Babysitting,

So Stinkin' Cuters

Last Wednesday I watched Tat and Turn. My mom dropped me off at there house. They were at the neighbors house so Suz walked across the street to give me a tour! There house is beautiful! Three words can sum it up. So Stinkin' Cute! I went over to the neighbors house with the kids until nap time. When it was nap time for the neighbor kids I brought Tat and Turn back home. They watched a little tv and then it was Turn's nap time. While Turn was napping Tat and I had some good girl time! She is such a cutie! It was a very hot day out so once Turn got up from his nap, we put there swimsuits on and went in there little kiddie pool on the deck. After some pool time I gave them a bath and got them in there nice comfy pj's. I love the feeling after you give a child a bath, put them in cozy pajama's and snuggle! After baths Suz came home and gave me a ride to my house.

Sel kids -1

Today I nannied B, C and As. E was at my house playing with my sister. We had a MOPS play date at a park so I just went home with Am. Lets just start off saying I bought the girls gum (each there own pack to save from a fight). When we got in the car Am went to go say bye to E. I gave the other two girls a piece of there gum. We had a big 'fight' that C wanted to hold her gum packed but Am and I wouldn't let her because A- she would eat all the gum before we got home or B- it would get all over the brand new van! Neither good! We got home and Am put As down for a nap. Or so we thought! She came down to put C down for a nap and when she can down we talked and all of a sudden hear this noise from the monitor. As was awake. Oh baby!! So we let him talk for a minute then Am and Mr left. Do you know how hard it is to remember all of these 'fake' names! I played play dough with B. It was fun then it got boring. As kept talking so I figured I go get him. I brought him down and feed him some mixed veggies. Nummy :P He ate then I was walking to lay him down again and started going up the stairs. Here comes miss.C! Maybe I wont lay him down. I had told the girls earlier that I would take them to the park so I got some snacks and water into the diaper bag (with diapers too :) ). Then I buckled As in and told C to get buckled. B had to walk because we couldn't find the babyjorn :( C couldn't get buckled because it was to tight so I told her just to buckle the top two. I wasn't to worried about her jumping out. After a few fits and different arrangements we were on our way.

It was hot out which I didn't realize until we were almost to the park. I figured I'll just have to keep As cool and the other two will play and be fine. Well As feel asleep, B and C wanted to go home and I was crabby from the heat. Not a good combo! C had to poop and B wanted to go home so I thought, well were at a school park so they will have summer school and we can just go in there bathrooms! The doors were locked. Now were ALL (minus the babe) VERY crabby. C got half buckled and b sat on the front. It was SO hard to push because of B's weight right on the edge. We walked home as fast as I could walk with a busy 4-way in the middle of it all. We got home, C and B got out I put the stroller in the garage and closed the garage door. I told myself that I would never bring the kids to the park myself again! I went inside set the popsicles on the counter and went back to the garage. I got out my purse the diaper bag and everything else. Then As. He was half asleep so that's why he was last. Once I grabed him to get him out he was fully awake. I brought him inside I feed him mixed fruits. Much better than veggies! ;) He barley started eating before his sisters started fighting. I bet you don't know what about! Sharing peanuts. Yep... We got that situation figured out, got the girls busy cleaning and then got some more mixed fruits in da belly! We listened to.... Ya know Go Fish! Then I tried laying As down but he decided to talk instead. I went and got him. Its kinda hard to put him down because he gets tackled with sisters, starts crying and then I have to go get him. So I told the girls to go in the play room and listen for the ice cream truck and if they saw the truck, I would buy them ice cream! I've never seen them run so fast! :) I got to put As down and clean the counters/tables/highchair and living room. I got the counters/tables/highchair done and then hear some interesting talking!

I stood by the play room listening to the girls yelling out the window "I'm going to kidnap you boy!" Hmmm... "Excuse me? Your going to kidnap someone?!?!" Giggles "We were just joking silly!'' "Mhm! No more please!" "FINE!" "Thank you...!'' Then they come out and start the peanut fight again. "Ok sense you don't want to share, then you can have separate bowls!" "GOOD!" "GOOD!" Then I hear the door open. Oh my gosh, someone just broke in! AH! Nope just Am! Thank goodness!! Talking, talking... "Ok, lets go!" Little bit of time, ok lets go for real! Get in car, buckle up, ready to go. Arrive at my house, talk, fun fun fun! Bye!!

Today was fun and cant wait to babysit your child some day!

So long!

Hey! I feel like I haven't updated in so long! Truth is, I haven't updated some of my jobs! Sometimes I get like a babysitting job this day, another the next day and so on. Then I just get to overwhelmed (lazy) and don't post it! I'm going to try as hard as I can to post EVERY job, EVERY time! Hopefully it pans out... I want to make my 'life' blog public. I don't really update that one either but I want some motivation and maybe Ill update both blogs more often! I will only update that one once or twice a week. Well it feels good to be back and I hope Ill be getting more and more followers. If you have friends that have kids or you know I babysit for, say hey you should read this blog! Then tell them to become a follower! I will make a promise. If you readers do your job, I will do my job and publish more! Yeah, that seems fair!

Thanks for reading and remember our litttle deal!

Sel Girls, Play Date

Monday I went to the Sel girls ( and now boy) house to nanny! VBS is going on this week and my siblings are going to a church called Destiny. I am teaching at our church this week. E and B are going to Destiny because they are doing Go Fish curiculum! So Am is picking up her kids plus Lon and Jac. So if you've been reading (which I don't think anyone is) then u would know that the Sel girls came to my house! Well during that time frame B asked me about 5 times if I could come play! So I asked Am and she didn't care so we planned for Monday. Like I said before this is VBS week for my family! Am brought L and J over to my house and picked me up.

We had a good talk on the way to there house. We arrived and her husband (How about well call him... Mr?!?!) was working on the yard. Mr must have been working hard because his shirt and shorts were very dirty! We went inside and ate lunch. After lunch and a little bit of playing Am put C down for a nap and then went to the gym. After Am left C came down and just sat on the stairs quietly. I spotted her and brought her up to her room. She screamed and kicked but I just layed her down, closed the door and went back to the other 3 kiddo's. We played with the velvet board and WII then the blind (as in curtain blind) lady came. She was very friendly but asked me were everything was and eventually I just told her I was the nanny and didn't live here. :) I took the 3 into the play room when she was fixing the stuff. E played piano, B played docter and As sat on my lap (that's kinda what babys do). As was getting sleepy so I told the girls to stay in the room for a second so I could go lay him down. Surprise, surprise THEY LISTEN!! Yes! StIcker for me on the 'teaching kids to listen' chart! ;)

Am came home, we got C and As up, got the kids in the car and went to piano lessons. The way there was well say... interesting! Got there, I took C to play, B later came out, and played with us. Am drove me to a friends house and I wished her luck and said "Am, I don't know how you do it but your an amazing mom!"!

On that note, have a good week...
Sydney

Quote of the day:
In the car
E: I have to pee REALLY bad! My bladder is going to burst!!
Am: You don't have to go REALLY bad, you have to go REALLY bad when you have a baby sitting on top of your bladder and your bladder the size of a pea!

Goslins -1

Today I watched 7 kids! The sel girlies, and a new fam creed and ax. Creed and ax got dropped off at 7:30AM!! Yes AM!! I set an alarm for 6:45AM so I would have plenty of time! Well my alarm didn't go off. So I (self) woke up at 7:20 and thought it's pretty sunny maybe I should check the time, well maybe not because what if I can't fall back asleep then I'll be crabby... So (thank Jesus) I looked at my itouch SEVEN TWENTY! CRAP!!!! I have to get ready in 10 minutes! Oh no. So I got up, busted my butt to do all I needed to do before the boys came. Got the TV turned on, got nice clothes on, put my make-up on, did my hair (horribly), bushed my teeth & then I hear the door bell ring! NO! WHY DID YOU GUYS RING THE DOOR BELL WHEN MY 6YR OLD SISTER IS STILL SLEEPING!! Ugh... Well I guess I should let them in... "hi how are you" "good" "good" instructions... Times... Info... "ok have fun" "we will" "bye" "bye" shut door. "So..." Ax grabs his DSI creed goes and watchs TV. Ok... Well now I can go clean my room and the bathroom a little bit from my crazy morning! (Ps: I'm just going to give you guys 'clips' from tonight because it would take for ever to do from 7:20AM- 5pm.) London and Jac wake up, eat breakfast get dressed brush teeth/hair all that fun stuff... Start playin then the Sel girlies come!!!!!!! They all came to my house pretty well (I was hoping they would for they were at my house 2 days ago!) C says "I'm hungry" so I get her crackers and all of a sudden "I WANT CRACKERS" "I WANT CRACKERS!" and pretty soon we are out. We played outside and made mud piles (which my mom did not like) so we had to spray them down with a hose. Then we came inside for some lunch, pizza! The girls (including me) sat at the table and the boys sat on the floor. All of the girls (except me) didn't like peperoni (which is the kind we cooked) so I had to peel everybodys peperoni's off and the payed me $50 (high-fives) to eat all of them on one piece of pizza. So i did. yippee... After lunch my friend Ab came over to help a little. So we went on the deck and painted the girls toes. E decided that she was going to paint her own with blue, white and pink flower stickers. I think she got more polish on her skin that her nails. :) Oh well... We came back inside and watched Finding Nemo for a little. Then Ab left to go do something... C asked to watch (I'm sure you know what I'm going to say) Go Fish! You are jst gona have to get use to it! :) We (my mom) made cookie so we all got to have some! nummy. I think C had 3!

Have a good day!

Sel Girls- my house

Howdy! Last night I babysat the Selness Girls. We had a lot of fun! London was here to so E got to play with her! We started off playin in my backyard. There was a Frisbee game going on as well as some basketball! When your in the backyard your limited to how much room you can run in, so we walked to this 'grass platform' (my neighbors house) and they had more room to run! After oh, Id say 20 minutes over there we went back to my house because there were kids who wanted to watch the awesome Go Fish and there were some who still wanted to play outside. So we walked back and had the sliding door open so you had an option of watching Go Fish on the basement tv or you could play out in the yard.

A little bit later we did finger painting! I didn't know if the paints were the kind you could use you finger with or a brush but London said "NO! I promise there finger paints" so I hoped and prayed that they truly were and would come off there fingers. Well my prays were answered and the paint can off. Hallelujah! They made a BEAUTIFUL (in kid language) picture for mommy and daddy! There was a lot of paint and a lot of water on it! I wish I would have took a picture to show all of you!

Once I told them they were done and washed them off we (of course) played outside again! They dug many holes in the ground because they wanted to go to China! Well they never did. After much digging and games it was time to go home!

Until tomorrow,
Sydney

MXG

Last night I watched M! Bein' honest here I was a little nervous going into this job because earlier this week (according to the doc) either popped a blood vessel or pulled some tissue in my left foot. It is mostly all black and blue. I was also on crutches (which I am trying not to use) and thought 'ok I can pull this off!' So I went for it! E picked me up and had M in the car. I had decided that I would bring my crutches just in case! We listened to the amazing GO FISH (which are 'kickin it old school' this summer), on the way! We arrived, grabbed the crutches and went inside. I got to see baby Savannah for a couple of minutes! She's adorable!! B left and E explained the night to me. Pretty simple. Then M and I ate some pizza and watched some Thomas the train (whoot, whoot)!

After we were (I) were all Thomased out we went up to M's room and played with the many toys and got his pj's on. I decided it was time to go to bed so he climbed up into his big boy bed and laid down. I said Good Night and left the room. I went downstairs to clean up a little bit and heard a noise. I stood at the bottom of the stairs and then as quiet as a mouse went upstairs. I looked around and found M in the corner. I said "hey mister" then he dashed into his room. I pretended to go downstairs but instead hide behind the bookshelf where I could still see him. Then heard him come out of his bed and made sure I was still very quiet. He peeked out and saw me then ran back into his bed. I told him he needed to stay in his bed so that mommy and daddy could come home. It worked. He feel asleep in a matter of minutes. YES! So I cleaned a little bit, watched the Jetson's. Yes, the Jetson's! Then it was time to go home. I had a great fun night!

Chloe- Overnighter

Hey there readers!

Tonight I watched C! She is a DOLL! You can read her mom's blog if your like. Tonight was very fun! It started off with a little Go Fish of course! Who doesn't like Go Fish! After 'mommy' left we watched some more Go Fish. Why so much Go Fish? Well 1, it's awesome and 2 C's Dad is in Go Fish! Pretty cool hu! I think that would be pretty sweet! When we finished listening to Go Fish we went outside! C LOVED playing outside! Between the Frisbee and the basketball hoop. After lifting her so she could try to get the ball in the hoop, I decided that was a good enough exercise! So I brought down our Little Tike's Basket Ball Hoop that was just her size!

After a lot of playing outside it was time to eat! Pizza anyone? Domino's! Who doesn't like a good ole' Domino's pizza (now with new crust)! May I say C is one of the CUTEST eater's! She's so cute smiling, eating and cleaning the table with her dirty napkin but acting like she's scrubbing the table all at the same time! Super cute if you ask me! :) Her parents must do a good job of making sure she's athletic because during dinner the question coming from her was "Can I go outside please" repeat, repeat, repeat. So yes, we went outside and played a little more.

BATH TIME! Playing outside is one dirty sport! We came inside and took a bath with lots of toys! Then it was time to get down to business and start washing up. C didn't really like that idea so I rolled up my pants, put my legs in and poured water on my legs showing that it was ok. We washed her hair and then got out, got her cute heart pj's on and then had a snack. Cheetos! The healthy, nummy kind! I have to say I tried a couple thinking ew natural. Chomp, chomp, num! They had a different nummy taste.

When she was done with her nummy snack, it was bed time :( We rock-a-byed for a minute or so then I put her in the pack-in-play and she layed down. As of right now her sleeping status:zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Perfect. I will type how the morning goes and what fun activities we are up to!
Quote of the day:
C: "When is mommy coming. I miss her."
Me: "I know sweetie, she'll be back tomorrow."
C: "Ok because I miss baby Asher"
Me: :)

Until tomorrow,
Sydney

I apologize if you are trying to comment or search for something on my blog. As you can tell, my blog is under construction! I will hopefully have this all figured out soon!
Sorry!

Gores Family

Tonight I babysat M. He was wonderful! At first Erica picked me up, we chatted and then arrived at there house. When I got there M was kinda shy but didn't take much time to warm up! We went outside and played with his Harley- Davidson Motorcycle (not a real one) and his car (again not real)! After pushing them in the street we went inside.


Once inside he watched a movie about diggers and other things that help make skyscrapers and I made dinner! The classic, Macaroni and Cheese! Plus I didn't make it over flow or burn (I recommend reading the instructions)! So I finished and looked over to see M dead asleep. I let him sleep for another couple of minutes and then tried waking him up. No luck. After about oh, 10 minutes, I got him awake, Partly at least. Then I put a little bit of banana in his mouth and he woke-up a little bit more. Then fully awake! So we ate our delicious Mac & Cheese!

A little bit later we played with cars and I did dishes! Afterwards. Bed time. He did great!

Thanks for reading

Easter!

Props for Mom's

I have to give my mom props for helping me with my blog. As you can read earlier I made a post about helping me with my blog. Well with Nealy's help and my mom's computer smartness she got it! Thanks to both of you my blog is beautiful! :)

Easy Easter Projects

Now you might think I am way crazy thinking about Easter all ready but I was thinking of cute, easy, cheap Easter things. Some I have personally done and some I found on the Internet.

Well, let me introduce you to my step-mom Shelia. She LOVES crafts and is VERY creative! Last year Shelia and I made so (if I may say) adorable Easter gifts! Super simple and al it takes it 10 steeps, well 9 and then enjoy! Have fun!

1. Take a small 12oz bottle and make sure the inside (and outside) is dry!

2. Take a smaller sized WHITE styrofoam ball and draw a bunny looking face.

3. Find some smaller sized candy that will fit inside the top of 12oz bottle.

4. Take the ball and press onto the bottle hard enough so it makes a mark.

5. Dig a little hole in the ball just a little deep.

6. Press the ball onto the bottle again so that the ball covers up the twist part (where the cap goes on) of the bottle.

7. Get WHITE foam and cut bunny ears out and color.

8. Take toothpicks or something and 'stab' the ears into the ball.

9. Fill the bottle with the candy.

Double Duty

Tonight I babysat (at once) Cal (1), C (2) and B (4) . It was fun!

It started out with pizza and apple sauce. Now you might be thinking ok... Good for you you had food! Well that's not the whole story about just dinner! So Cal is still little and can't really eat pizza so she had apple sauce. Then when I got out the apple sauce EVERYBODY wanted apple sauce! It was funny because I gave one to C and she didn't really eat it. I think it was that whole 'well she's having it so I better too' type of thing!

After dinner we went downstairs and cleaned/played trains and what not. After a little bit of that and puzzles we went in the big computer room and jammed out to Go Fish! Now that was fun and all but Cal didn't really want to be down (which with all of the running around, I don't blame her). So after that got a little boring we went out in the downstairs living room and played a little bit of Wii! It got a little crazy when C started flipping off of the back of the couch on to the seat part and little miss Cal trying to climb the stairs, so we went upstairs were that couldn't happen. :)

We played some UNO (not really but to B it was a total game) then it was time for C to go to bed and Cal to leave. Now you might have read that and thought 'Wow! You are such a brat wishing Cal to leave!' Well to all of you thinking that, that is not what I meant. I meant Kyle and Nealy came and picked her up! ;) So after Cal left. C went to bed after a HUGE conversation about what nuk she wanted and how she had to go potty on the potty again (even tho she just went 5 minutes ago :) ).

Then it was time for B to go to sleep! This took a little bit longer than wanted! She had a snack and we went in to her room and she told me that she cant go to sleep because it is 7:29 and she goes to bed at 7:30! So we waited that whole MINUTE before she could get in bed... Oh kids, :) So after the minute she laid down and I left the room and stood at the end of the hall to make sure she didn't get out of bed! Long story short we did that for a while then a back rub and zzzzzz...

Until next time!

London Anderson

Tonight I babysat my sister. Nothing really exciting happened. We made some AWESOME valentine's cards for my mom and Bill! This is London's. She got bored after a while so... But it's still cute! She loved using my scrap booking scissors! The writing says "Love is amazing."

This is mine. The writing says 'Love is amazing".

This is a quick easy craft that kids of all ages will love! You can do this project in many different ways! This time, I just took a white piece of printer paper and some valentine (pink & red) paper. Then you just cut hearts or whatever shape you would like and then use glue or double sided scotch tape!

We also made a printed card which is EXTREMELY easy! You can print cards from Birthdays to Get well. From bingo cards to bookmarks! I use http://www.dtlk-cards.com/ . Test it out and see what you think. I am sure there is a 'better quality' printable card website but, I chose this! You are welcome to comment on some of the websites that you use too!

Thanks for reading,

Selness Girls

Hey there bloggers,

Last night I babysat the 3 Selness girls! It was a lot of fun! Here is a little bit of my night!!


Ok so I got there and my sister London stayed to play with there oldest girl E. There the same age and get along great! So were we hanging out and the two older girls and London were playing WII and the youngest (C) was chasing me then I would turn around then she would run. It was a blast. Then it was time for little C to go to bed. So we got all her necessities and went to her room. So she was about to climb into bed when she said "I want to go in bunk bed." I said no and she said "No. I want to go in bunk bed!" that went on for a little then she stopped! It was funny. But anyways when she was about to go into her bed she wanted to rock-a-bye. So we rock-a-byed for 10 seconds and she said "Sydney, I want to go to bed." "So are you don't want to rock-a-bye anymore?" No reply. "Honey... Do you want to rock-a-bye?" yes" So we rock-a-byed a little more then she went in her crib and goodnight to her.

So London left and it was time for the two older girls (E and B) to go to bed. So we got the juice and snack then it was time for bed. B got a little sad because her clock wasn't working but we figured that out! :D Then she was fine and went to bed. Then E was downstairs in her bed and ready. She was tired but didn't want to go to bed but after a little bit of juice she was fine.

My night was full of work and excitement! Until next time...
