Adventures in Babysitting.....

This past week Brian and I have been "babysitting & housesitting" for our friend's 3 boys, 1 dog (ie. 10 week old puppy) and 1 cat.............this is our blog entry about our "adventures :) This is the youngest brother Apollo! He had a cub scout Space Derby event while we were with him! Apparently his rocket crashed and burned..but he still had fun!
This is Fielding, the middle brother....because Echo (the oldest was at a friends house and Apollo was at the Rocket Derby) he wanted to go eat sushi at Red Ginger! Yum! He ate his whole California roll!

Last weekend we took the boys to my parents house for "Turkey Day" a week early, because we will be in Tampa with Brian's mom! We ended up taking the dogs (Webster & Hickory) for a hike in the woods....


It was fun and we even saw some real hunters with guns..which the boys thought was so cool!


The turkey we ended up deep frying..the way we have done the last few year! And everyone helped!

The crazy chefs! :)

The group before dinner! Notice that my mom and I are really out numbered!!

Apollo and Fielding walking to the school bus...this was a day we were hoping for a snow day! No luck!

Half day of school! We went to Hands on Art to paint hot chocolate mugs!

Then we met up with Brian for a celebratory dinner at Blue Tractor...celebrating that everyone survived (included Brian & I) and that all the boys had all ten fingers, ten toes and everyone had a blast!

Echo and I at dinner too!

It was a great week......Brian and I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about ourselves and each other! The boys were so much fun to be around and the week was very rewarding..from Apollo scoring 100% on his spelling test and learning to tie his shoes (way to go Brian!) or from the boys telling us we will make a good mom & dad (I think that is the stamp of approval!) we couldn't have asked for a better first babysitting adventure together!

The Boys think you will be great a Mom & Dad to some lucky girls (sorry Brian :-). They are glad you still want to have kids. Hickory says "ruff ruff ruff ruff".
