Grateful for Friends

A lot of people have been posting about things that they are grateful for this new year so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. I am grateful for little friends. This week I babysat for my dear friends and was very happy to do so. Watching these little people is a joy for me and my kids. Wednesday night Jack came to play for a little while before bed time, so we decided to have an impromtu jam session.

Here are some videos of the talented kids:




Then we had a ball fight. These were very happy, hyper children.

Pepper showing off her trumpet skills.

And her super cool stage moves.

To calm them down I gave them all a bubble bath. We have missed Jack while he was in Utah so we were all very excited to have him come play.

On Thursday morning, Ben and Abby came to stay for the afternoon. Ben can be a little fussy for Becky but he was a DREAM for me...heehee. Isn't that always the way?! He and Pepper had so much fun playing and getting into things. I fed the little ones while Morgan and Abby played. Ben is just like Morgan was as a little one when it comes to eating. It was very fun feeding him. Gotta love that smile and those bright blue eyes.

I had to add this one because Pepper was actually saying "cheese" and looking at the camer, and because Ben's look was priceless.

Abby, Morgan and I had a picnic lunch and watched Toy Story 3 while the little ones both took 3hr plus naps. It was a great day!

Like I said, I am grateful for these wonderful little friends and the opportunity to help their parents out by watching them. I really enjoy babysitting and the fun of having friends come visit. So that's a little of what we've been up to this week.

Mom said I needed to watch the video of Pepper dancing and Jack and Morgan singing. She said it was priceless. And it is! I love it. Pepper has some good moves. I love her curls too. So far she and Alice have the curls. We'll see what Kate ends up with.
