A little out of practice....

 Shhhhh all is quiet and calm for the moment......
a friend asked me to watch her two little girls
for the day they are both under 3 years old.
 it started at 7am and they cried and consoled each other it was 
the sweetest thing, then they warmed up to me.
I have been called Mimi ever since.
 we have been on 2 walks
played in the sand
ate some raspberries out of Carols garden
threw rocks in the lake
washed our feet and everything else in the kitchen sink
our only problem has been that Momma forgot to
leave me the diaper bag....so we have been wearing a lot of  
Mimi's clothes , we won't tell her!!!!
 You forget the business....
 I took them for a 2 mile walk and out they are for the moment
so I think I will try and sneak a quiet cup of tea
I hope your day is going well.

  1. Oh adorable. I often had extra children in my mix (like 4 wasn't enough) but after all of your babies start school & you babysit for a friend, it's so lovely, it takes you RIGHT back to how wonderful it was, what you used to do all day & how much energy they have (compared to teenagers!!) What little darlings. I often get called by my children's names (especially MY MiMi, it must be an easy name to say & call others, for we mothers-of-a-MiMi). Love Posie

  4. Oh No! No diaper bag that would have been a disaster for me :)
    Sounds like you kept them busy by the look of both of them fast asleep. So cute! I bet they had the best time.
    Doing it again?

  8. It looks like you all had a merry time, I love when my grandchildren come to play........I get to paint, glue, stick sticky stars in some very strange places and re-read all my favourite childhood story books...........it's exhausting, but so much fun. There's only one way to describe my house after their visit......a happy contented chaos.

  9. Hi Heidi,

    The two sisters look so sweet and alike!! I must have been a busy, but happy day for you! I hope your children enjoyed their first days at school again? Mine had difficulty settling after the long summer holiday :-)!

    Happy weekend,

  11. Oh Bless them! They look lovely little girls and looks like they have been so well looked after by you!
    Hope the rest of the day went well - I'll bet you were exhausted by the end of it!
    Hope you got a well deserved rest later although with your own brood to look after I sadly doubt it!
    Love that sweet tea cup and saucer in your last photo.
    Gill xx
