You know that great feeling when you put your hand in the pocket of a coat you haven't worn in a while and find some money you forgot was there? I got to experience that feeling the other day when I went to change my address for my bank account online and discovered that there were $10 in there that I didn't know I had! I realize that $10 isn't a whole lot of money, but when you've been an unemployed babysitter for a few months, it looks really great. I had completely forgotten that when I switched to Bank of America, I was supposed to get $10 because I was "referred" by my parents, and it had been deposited a couple weeks ago. Cool! :D
I had so much fun babysitting yesterday and Tuesday! The boys have grown a LOT since I last saw them about 5 months ago. It was most noticeable in Reilly, who is now walking and chatters (unintelligibly) nonstop. Noah, who is 4, "interprets" for him...which is always cute and usually very funny, since apparently Reilly only says everything Noah would want him to say. :D When I got ready to leave yesterday, Reilly was waving goodbye to me, and then he made some little grunt noise that actually sounded like "bye". Noah, who was not happy about the idea of me leaving, informed us that Reilly had said he didn't want Haley to go.
They're both so cute and sweet, and a lot of fun. Reilly is probaby the easiest baby I have ever babysat, except for when I think he needs to go to sleep and he begs to differ--despite the fact that if he gets still and quiet for 30 seconds, he's out like a light. :D Noah likes to play hide-and-seek, "dragon" (where I "capture" him and throw him in my "dragon cave"), and creating pipe-cleaner creations. He's very creative with colors and ideas of things for me to try to make for him! He has to tell everybody what in the world that mess of stuff is (we had a squirrel, a dinosaur, a dog...why do they all look so much alike? *shrug*), but hey, he's happy! He's a great kid, though every ounce a first-born, and a lot of fun to play with. Oh, and he also likes to pretend like he's kitten and crawl up in my lap and cuddle...personally, I think it's just his "big-boy" way of snuggling, and of course I love it! He's not really big on giving and getting hugs, so I'll take it however it comes. :D
Anyway...I'm sure many of you did not care a lick about any of that, but hey--it's my blog, and I'll ramble if I want to! :D
Well, I'm off to "fluff" the branches on the Christmas tree and put lights that work on one section of it so we can get it all decorated. And tomorrow we'll put the cute little ones out in the driveway and get them all figured out. December is here, and Christmas is just around the corner...YAY!!! :D
I've got a new poll at the top: what kind of Christmas tree do you have/prefer? Artificial, real, or none at all? Please vote, and feel free to post a comment about it, too!
