Friday night we had friends of the kids over. Hannah went swimming & Simon played on the Wii with the respective siblings.
Saturday my girlfriend called while we were running errands to see I had a babysitter in my area I could recommend. Well, since she has a 5 month old, I did not have anyone to recommend so I offered to watch her 3 children while she and her hubby enjoyed an adult night away.
The kids all helped to entertain the baby, Noah. He was really a good baby but reminded me how much work they are....I hate to admit it but I was happy when he went home on Sunday. ;)
Hannah wanted to try her hand at holding the baby....
and feeding him too.
Last night we went to the neighbors and I brought chips, salsa, guac, sangria and cowboy caviar. It tastes good, is easy and also looks good on a platter.
