Babysitting Experience

We have absolutely no recent babysitting experience so jumped at the chance to watch Mandy's three adorable children today.
I even changed diapers, although a 2 year old does not necessarily prepare me for a newborn! We had a great time with the kids. Chloe went off to school early and I didn't get time for a picture so I will insert one of of her beating me at bowling from a couple of months ago.

I forgot how much work 3 little kids can be. Constantly preparing meals and cleaning up! But they were angels and we had lots of fun. :)

A brief video of Carter playing ball with Dennis. He was quickly distracted by cartoons on the TV.

Riley Kate a fashion plate ready for an afternoon of kindergarten.




Carter and Dennis in striped rugby shirts. Carter called him "papa" and so Dennis is hooked!



Carter poses in his fresh diaper that Riley helped me with. Proving you never forget how and pampers are much easier than diaper pins. 9;)



8 year old Chloe beats Aunt Janie at bowling this summer!

How I Gained 10# on my Vacation ;)

This has been a non stop eating vacation! :( First we went to the Equinox resort in Vermont for a board retreat where they fed us gourmet food three times a day. Then our friends, Karen & Lou from Boston picked us up for a road trip through New England- first stop Polly's Pancakes in New Hampshire then on to New Brunswick, Canada to visit PV friends Fred & Clara, now in Bar Harbor, Maine area. Cocktails last night with another PV friend, Ellen Reynolds, who has a house on Mt. Desert Island. Still eating...the big diet will start Thursday!



Pancakes






Lobster, clambakes, lobster stew -food to die for at every stop



Blueberry french toast brunch with mimosas ;)



Lots to drink.....



And three more days to go! (I actually resisted dessert yesterday but only after two popovers with fresh butter and jelly that came with the lobster stew!) ;)
