If you happened to call this morning, you might have thought I was running a small daycare on the side. But it's just temporary; today's a PD day, so I've got a few extra. I'm also missing a few. All in all, it worked out to five kids total for the morning, and now we're down to four, plus dogs.
So far, we've baked and eaten a cake (very popular activity).
The girls found a chunk of ice in the backyard, the melting of which has provided at least an hour of excitement, believe it or not. They requested I take photos, after I refused to let yet another icicle get stuck in our freezer where it will only be instantly forgotten and found years later.
The boys, meanwhile, got busy crashing cars down the stairs.
Next up: lunch. And, no, we're not having cake. I'll think of something.
The two oldest kids are at a babysitting course all day. Albus sees dollar signs in his future. He and AppleApple plan to work as a team, if anyone in the neighbourhood is looking to hire a responsible pair, who will now be trained in first aid and diaper changing (and who have lots of experience looking after their younger siblings, too).Labels: babysitting, cake, friends, kids, play
