Adventures in Babysitting

Mark and I had Kiera and Grace Friday night so that Bob and Michelle could have an evening out/sleep in for their wedding anniversary. I love having the girls over and this was a treat because it is the first time we have had both girls overnight.

We had a great time, Grace is the best helper in the world when it comes to cooking and dishes. She wants to do it all, but is quick to tell me that she can't touch knives and she probably shouldn't touch the wine glasses. She also LOVES to help Mark. He is usually working on "boy" stuff like cleaning up the yard, in the garage or this weekend putting his winch back together. Grace was right there with him doing whatever he could find that was safe for her to do.

Thankfully both girls are great sleepers even if the do get up earlier than we do. Mark was smart enough to have us in bed by 9:30 though so that the early wake up call was not bad at all.
Kiera's funny moment: I was changing the 3rd or 4th messy, full to the brim diaper. I undid it and gagged and Kiera says "uh oh" and smiles.

Grace's funny moment: She must still think it is Christmas because she sung Santa Clause is Coming to Town for 30 minutes in the car and then at around 1 or 2 in the morning she was singing it in her sleep. The only reason we heard her is because she decided she wanted to sleep on the floor in our room so we had an early morning serenade.
