Babysitting?????

Okay....a picture is worth 1,000 words, right?  Well.... take a look at these....

So, Justin and I were teamed up as partners to babysit Friday-Saturday while Brad and Laura were in San Diego.  The first thing we noticed was this cool envelope with FUN MONEY!   And, this "fun money" was real money......How cool!  We decided to have a PARTY!


Check out our guests!


We also found these crazy note cards ALL AROUND with VERY, VERY SPECIFIC directions!


Here Justin is reading over one note card that was left on the table just to make sure that no where did it say, "no party."  


Melia didn't want to miss out on the good food.  We did follow the instructions about the acid reflux medication to put in the bottles and the gas medicine....but, once again, no where did it prohibit Melia from eating PIZZA!


Uncle Justin found some interesting info while reading another card.....


Still no mention of no partying or paying other babysitters.....hummmm....


I'm not kidding you...they were EVERYWHERE!


Here Nicole is feeding Tyler as he is playing angry birds on his iPod....


A bit of playing with Melia....


The two additional babysitters we hired for help with the FUN MONEY!


Not quite sure what her credentials are....why is she giving a baby a little car????  Don't worry, I was supervising with my camera in hand :)


Here Emmersyn is helping to support Melia while she practices her sitting.


Now, downstairs was another story....Cameron and Tyler got into a heated competition of Fruit Ninja.



And in the play room....Well, because there were NO note cards at the entrance of this room....There were NO RULES!  


It started out very innocently....


But got quickly out of hand.  I think Nicole's reaction in the background says it all!


Yes, this is one of the original babysitters.....creating the chaos!


Emmersyn went on the attack!


Then the double ball throw came out.  Check out Ty in the background.  He wanted to know what happened to his playroom!  At one point he said, "No kids."  We agreed that his mom should have made a note card for this room!


Melia and I were playing it safe out in a corner.  She wanted to get in on the fun!


She is such a GREAT baby!


These girls were just chilling watching a little dancing...


As were Cameron and Gabby!


Tyler and Nick were competing against one another on this dance game!


Nicole wanted in on the fun and out of the crazy ball room!


zzzzzzz....Uncle Justin fell asleep a bit early.  All that dodge ball knocked him out!


In comes babysitter number 5....So now we had myself, Nicole, Amanda, and Crystal over once Justin fell asleep!


Emmersyn was great with Melia.  Emmersyn would LOVE a baby sister....  Too bad that's NEVER going to happen!


To make a long story short, after Melia and Tyler went to bed....Cameron wanted to spend the night, but Emmersyn was NOT sleeping anywhere but in her bed back home.  So, Cameron, Emmersyn and myself headed across the border around 9:30 and Justin and Crystal tag teamed throughout the night.  We joined them again in the morning.  I brought over these gingerbread men cookies for the kids to decorate....





Emmersyn was more into eating the sprinkles than decorating the cookies.


Tyler did an awesome job!


Tyler is a picker eater....but not when it comes to gingerbread men!



Don't let that face deceive you!  He ate 2!


Cameron hard at work decorating his cookies....



I love that frosting on his lips!


Eating the arms and legs....the best part!


Emmersyn eating more sprinkles!


And a little more decorating.


I'm telling you...he ate the whole cookie!


Cameron showing off his masterpiece.



After Tyler was done eating his cookie, he was trying to coerce Cameron into sharing his.


Cameron was not in the sharing mood, so Tyler decided to lick his fingers to get every last taste of the frosting!


Then it was time for some coloring....


Cameron was making an angry bird picture.....


Emmersyn was making a space monster...


And Ty was making a gingerbread man!


While we were having fun with cookies and coloring, Melia was getting her tummy time (looking to the LEFT) with Uncle Justin!  We did lots of tummy time during our shift!


And it was Uncle Justin's Birthday so we had to sing happy birthday!




Can you tell Crystal got no sleep last night?  Check out her hat!


She was sharing her kookiness with Melia.



And then Justin became slap happy and a little out of control with his hats!




We had a great time!  Can't wait to be called for the next babysitting job!

  1. That was so great. I'm laughing hysterically. I'm so mad I missed the birthday hats. I wish I could have come to that party!! And let's not forget the cookie decorating. I love cookie decorating. At least we were able to help you babysit (wink wink) Friday night. If Brad and Laura only knew half the things that happened when they were away. Ha ha ha.
