Babysitting

So on Thursday I was babysitting these kids while my sister Sid babysat my brothers at my house.  All we had done was watch TV and eat dinner so of course they were all bored. We decided to play Hide-and-Seek. The person counting had to sit on the stairs and count to 50.

This is where they had to count. One of the kids was scared so he got to count at the top of the stairs.

These are a few of the spots we hid in.

This is the coat closet where, duh, all of the coats go.  I hid in there and was left in there for at least 10 minutes. The oldest girl Maggie finally found me and let me come out.

There i am after being stuck in a closet forever.

Even with her stitches, Sid somehow managed to climb up onto the fridge.

Cute little Tim managed to fit perfectly where no one else could. I am so jealous!

Amy was a little excited when I found her. Can't you tell????

Susanna didn't like the idea of hiding so she walked around and jumped on whoever decided to hide on the bed. She also didn't like pictures of herself, (that sounds an awful-lot like someone i know... me). I had to agree to give her a treat before the picture.

Mason decided that it would be funny to hide in the pantry and jump down on whoever opened the door. That ended up being me. Luckily, I have faster reflexes than him, that, and he got stuck.

The question everyone kept asking was where is Jaxon during all of this????????? 

Sleeping!!!!!!!!! He got in trouble and sent to bed early. As you can tell, he has some great posses while he is sleeping. Many of which will be useful as black mail when he has a girlfriend in 9 years.......


After Hide-and-Seek, it was time for the fashion show!!!!!!!!!!

Mason and Tim didn't want to get dressed up in "girl clothes", so they decided to be the judges.



But, before you could have a fashion show, you had to have a snack.

Frosting probably wasn't the best thing to eat before modeling, but no one cared. It's not like we are going to gain 20 pounds and not fit into our "size 0" pants. Or, are we???????



Before you can walk down the "red" carpet, you have to make sure you can cartwheel down it.

Amy decided to skip down it instead so she didn't mess up her recently painted finger nails.

After the red carpet was tested and models were dressed, it was time to walk down the red carpet.



First up was Susanna modeling this year's " Lets see what size will drown you".

Susanna finally let me take a picture of her. You can tell she is a true model with the dramatic posse and look on her face.

I finally got a good picture of her without having to be bribed and without a dramatic look.



Next up was Amy who decided to model the "Jeans under a skirt" look.

Amy was all ready to walk down the "red" carpet. I bet she will be like that at her wedding.

Amy walked by slowly so you could get a good look at what she was wearing.

Amy looked so cute in a dress that happens to be my skirt.



Maggie was next in the "Nothing matches but it all looks super cute together" style.

Maggie is a natural dancer who can spin really fast I learned. It takes true talent to capture a picture when a model is dancing and have it turn out clear. Luckily, I have that talent.

Maggie was just about to do another spin when I took the picture.

Maggie let me take one good picture before she exited the stage.


After all of the spinning, walking, and dramatic faces, it was time to announce the winner of this year's "These clothes are super cute and too big for me" fashion show.



The girls came out from "backstage", or in other words, the hallway and lined up for the announcement.

Getting them to stop spinning and line up was a little harder than I thought.

The girls finally lined up. Well 2/3 of them did.

Maggie ended up winning with a perfect 20/20.

There is the final picture of the winner. Amy is in the background sternly talking with the judges about why she didn't win.


Sid thought there should be a picture of us since she was the "designer" and I was the photographer. Or did I think that........ Either way, here are the super cure pictures of us.

Sid and I were moving so much it was hard to get a picture of us. Look!!!!! See how much taller i am then her!!!! I am not short, I am tall. Compared to her anyway.

The one clear picture we got was of course, the tongue sticking out picture. After Susanna didn't want to be in any pictures whatsoever, she decided she had to be in the picture with the 2 super cute wierdos.


The night ended up being fun. There was lots of laughing, spinning, and of course, more laughing.

If you ever need a fashion show put on, give me a call. I am sure that Sid would love to be a "designer" again. And I wouldn't mind taking pictures.
