Babysitting and Painting

The past two days we babysat for a two year old boy, Joey, from church. We babysat him all day. He's such a good kid, he was no problem at all. It's always fun to change things up a bit. But there's such a difference in the way he plays versus my girls. I brought in the snow-covered Little Tikes slide and dried it off. He wanted to slide and jump and climb all over it, while my girls wanted to use it to play house.

Then today we went to Plainfield to watch Mark and Julie's kids so they could paint their new house. We got to play with Grace, Hope, and Joy in the morning. In the afternoon, Grace went to the new house to meet a friend who was going to help them. I told Mark and Julie, it's like having a day off when the kids are playing. It wasn't babysitting, it was vacation. After supper, Mike took me by their new house to see the painting progress. They are almost done. It's so cute! Julie's paining everything a khaki-green-ish color. Then the girls' bedrooms are turquoise and robin's egg blue, the master bedroom is chocolate, and the hall bathroom is sunshine yellow. Fun!

We had fun today, but when we got home the girls were tired and went right to sleep!
