Guess Who's Back...Back Again...

After a two week absence, I'm ecstatic to report that the kids I babysit are back! YAY!!! Not to be rude, but when they left, I really thought I would just enjoy my vacation...but not even close. Well, I'll admit the first two or three days were kind of nice, but it didn't take long for me to decide that it was time for them to come home.

They got back Friday night, and I was with them all day Saturday. The 4 year old was incredibly chatty and cuddly, so we had a lot of fun while the almost 2 year old old took an unheard of 3 and 1/2 hour nap! We decorated the house for Halloween together, and she kept up a running commentary of all the fabulous aspects of where they took their vacation. We must have sat at the dining room table for 2 and 1/2 hours cutting and coloring ghosts, pumpkins, bats, etc. It was just so nice to sit with her and talk and see how much she had grown in just 2 weeks! And that's just the 4 year old...my goodness, the baby!! She came back with an entire vocabulary!! She says Jeanea now!!!! I was sooooooo excited! She still calls me mommy when she needs/wants something, but at least we're on the right road :-)

I wish I could post pictures so you could see how completely adorable they are, but I really don't think it would be wise for me to do so :-( But, if at anytime you are with me, feel free to ask to take a peek :-) They're pretty much the best kids ever!

What a great nanny you must be! Those little kids are lucky to have you. (That means the parents are even luckier). Glad you had some seasonal fun with them. I love fall decorations!
