What I've been doing

Along with the volunteering, and mommy-ing, and wife-ing, and scouting, I did a few other things over the past several days. On Thursday, I babysat the 2 year old daughter of a friend from school. We had a busy day, painting and playing with PlayDoh here at the house. My wonderful neighbor then had us over so her youngest daughter could play with my little snuggly guest.


Isn't she just beautiful?


They jumped on the trampoline....


and then had a little snack.


There was some swinging...


and sliding....


and while Miss M. was still smiling by the end of the day, little C was pretty well pooped. By the time I got out of my driveway taking her back to school to meet up with mommy, she was sound asleep. She's usually running all over the place, and the carline ladies were pretty darn amazed that I wore her out (wasn't me, but I'll take the credit...). It was a very good day.


The next day, I made one of these, because Handsome Hubby turned a milestone birthday. It is nearly gone; thank you, Paula Deen, for a recipe so irresistibly perfect.


The next morning, we woke up to find this in one of the live traps that Bug Hunter sets out. To see what he can catch, you know? Just in case something interesting comes around. And yes, this l'il possum DID qualify as interesting. As soon as he was released, he headed up a tree until we were gone. Bet he had some interesting stories to tell HIS mama!


And finally, I found this old picture (from 2005) of one of the sweet l'il girls next door. It's my latest entry at my photoblog for I Heart Faces! Here's a more recent pic of SweetPea with her big sister, so that you can see how she's grown. She still has those amazing blue eyes, though!



Back to the grind in the morning, but it's been a fun weekend!
