Reporting LIVE From...My...House.

Mom is here! And Aunt Brenda, and Jackie, too! And Muna! Mom has thrown a blogger party for all the bloggers here in ________. It's noisy, but there is coffee, so I'll live. :D
I was able to sneak away. I am here, blogging, while everyone else drinks coffee and eats muffins and coffee cake and talks about what they want to blog about.
I baby-sat for five kids. Two were my nieces, and three others live across the street. I held them all together in the room with the projector. We made shadow puppets. =)
The reason I was baby-sitting was because Jackie was having a Ladies Study. And the ladies brought their kids. And I was the sitter for them.
One lady didn't leave her kid with me. I don't think she trusted me. MEANY! I wouldn't throw them around or anything. It insulted me a little at first, but I'm fine now.
The two boys, who were about six and four, were rowdy, and kept leaving the ROOM. That room was the place where I was supposed to keep them.
They were still in their soccer uniforms. So Brian came, and took them outside with a ball. I then had to the two baby girls.
E and A. They are my nieces and they are cute as a button! They watched me do a show with Mr. Sock, a sock puppet I made just in case they got bored of everything else! (See!!! I'm responsible and prepared. Not unattentive and unexperienced! She could have left her kid. I'm sure he would have loved it!)
And then a show with Larry Lion and Mack the Moose. A lesson about ... Well, nothing in particular. But, they loved it anyway! I pretty much just made the Fischer Price animals talk and the girls laughed.
I could hear the two older boys outside with the ping-pong table and the little baby boy with his Mom, CRYING CAUSE HE WAS BORED. LEAVE HIM WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I wanted to shout!
A little after that, E wanted her Mom, and I said she couldn't go. And E wanted to know why, so I said,
"Well, E. Mommy went to the moon today. She'll be back soon."
"OH! Is she making marshy friends? (martian friends)."
"Sure! Maybe she'll bring some back with her!"
"Can I go to the moon?"
"Sure. Maybe sometime."
"Will you take me to the moon, Tia?"
"YES! LET'S GO NOW!"
So I made the bedroom look like the moon and we had to jump over the pillows cause they were craters, and our space ship was the bed. And every couple minutes we had to get back into the space ship. We even pretended to make a cake out of the moon. And it was a cheese-cake! E insisted.
"MARSHIES!" She would shout, whenever she saw A coming around the corner. Then I'd grab A and put her on the space ship. And she'd giggle. And then I'd turn on the projector and make little noises so it sounded like we were watching shooting stars. They both LOVED it. Then when the meeting was over, we came here. And I started drinking cafe con leche and apple coffee pie.

Now I am drinking coffee, A wants me, E wants to get in our pool after she finishes with whatever she is doing, and I still have a plate of coffee pie. So, I must go!

BYE!

3 murmurs:

Girl, you make me laugh! I want to aqueeze E and A right now! Bet you'll do it for me! You were actually doing ministry, watching the little ones like that while a Bible study was going on. How wonderful!

Oh and as for your previous post, you said you went and visited everyone's blogs - well, I wouldn't know if you visited mine or not-- as there IS NO COMMENT FROM YOU THERE!!! (You know I'm not mad right, just kind of hinting?)

Your such an awesome babysitter! That lady really should've trusted you. But instead, she let her little boy rot in boredom when he could've gone to the moon.
