First Post

I decided to start writing a blog about my babysitting adventures this past week. I always come home and tell Troy these funny things that happened that day. for example:

Thursday September 30
Captain Awesome caught a bee with his bare hands today! I shouldn't have been suprised. His friend came over all excited about the bees he saw on the flowers. The next thing I know Captain Awesome is screaming. He comes to the door his hand shaking with a look of terror on his face. I dragged him into his parents bathroom and pulled out the stinger but after that I forgot what to do! I've had countless bee stings. It started to swell a little bit so I called his mom to make sure he wasn't deathly allergic and I asked what to put on it as well. Baking soda! I love baking soda! and an iron man bandaid. I was surprised after it was all over to find that I was shaking!

Friday October 1
8 kids. 1 house. 1 babysitter. It was teacher inservice so the two older boys were home plus their friend plus my sisters two kids and Baby. Movies are my best friend. First thing I did- create leverage...I made cake mix cookies! Smartest thing I ever did. I don't think parents should bribe their kids, I think babysitters are entitled to use bribes.
A neighbor kid came over and asked if he could rake the leaves. Either he was really bored or his mom was trying to keep him occupied. I said sure. He came back a few minutes later with a bag of leaves slung over his shoulder and said "is it ok if I have some money now cuz I've got a lot of leaves?" All I could find was 12 cents and 4 cookies. He took it and left. A little while later he came back and said his mom wanted the recipe. Weird kid.
All I can say is, we survived the day and now I have a whole week of Spud Harvest to look forward to.
