So this last week I had the opportunity to watch three wonderful kids of some friends while they were able to go on a cruise. It was definitely an experience. I went from pretty much doing nothing all day to dropping kids off at school making lunches and going out to play. The hardest part was going from staying up late and sleeping in to being exhausted by 9 p.m. and having to get up at 7 a.m. The first night there I woke up every 2 hours because I was afraid of sleeping through my alarm. I did get the schedule down and we all had a pretty good time all week. I didn't take any photos cause I felt like I was running around with my head chopped off most of the time, but I did borrow this photo from my friends facebook page so you could see how cute the kids that I watched are.
This was taken almost a year ago but it was the best I could do. The oldest girl, Alexis age 6, was always willing to help me and made things much easier then they could have been. Ryan, age 4, was very fun to play with and was completely obsessed with paper airplanes. He had me make over 13. I loved it. Whitney, age 2, was very cute. She loved to cuddle and was constantly mimicking me when ever I had to yell at Chester. I have to say my favorite parts of the week was when Ryan and Whitney would start singing songs they knew while playing, and when Lexi made sure to play with Whitney and Ryan when we went to the park to play, even though there were lots of other kids to play with.
I loved feeling like a mommy. Even though it was crazy and hectic I made it through and the kids were happy and because of this experience I'm not afraid of having kids. Cause even though it may be hard I can do it!
