Babysitting Fun!

This past week Tim and I were lucky enough to be able to watch Ellie, Brock, and Issac for a few hours while their parents headed out for their anniversary. We had planned on heading to their house but Ellie wanted to be at our house so we decided it was a good time to pull down more of the baby things. They dropped the kids off and the twins were ready for a nap. They went right to sleep without any problems. So peaceful...
While they were sleeping Ellie and Ian were busy playing and making dinosaur tails with Tim.
They had a blast wearing there dinosaur tails and dancing throughout the whole house. I am not sure how I did not get video of them running wild -actually I am it is called Twins. They definitely know how to keep you busy!

After a short catnap both boys woke up at the same time. Tim was in the middle of gluing the spikes on Ellie's dinosaur tail so I figured I would go and get the twins. I got up to Ian's room and picked up Issac then contemplated how I was going to manage to pick up Brock as well. I propped Issac up in the chair and then picked up Brock and put him next to Issac. Then was able to get the two of them with one in each arm.

I went downstairs and sat on the couch and knew that I was not going to be able to get back up unless Tim helped...so there the three of us sat, which soon became four (Pike), then five (Ellie), then six (Ian), so Tim got the camera.

They were both on the same schedule and quite hungry so Tim feed the boys while I finished making dinner.After dinner we got all the kids in the bath. Ian and Ellie were first because they had been asking all day, "Is it bathtime now?" The two of them definitely know how to have fun and can make splashes on the ceiling. After the "big" kids got out the boys were next. Brock loved the bath and was splashing just as high as the "big" kids. Then Issac was next. He was not too fond of the bath this time around but I am sure he'll warm up to it.

We had a blast watching all the kids and can't wait to watch them again!

LOL! Looks like you had fun. This is pretty much what my life looks like every day now...haha...I still try and figure out how to pic both babies up at the same time effectively. I guess they learn to be flexible.
