babysitting

Babysitting... this simply has to be THE best job ever!! ..well for me at least. I mean really, I am currently getting paid to sit here on the computer and waste time online while the kids are sleeping. but even when the kids are awake I still LOVE this job!! Tonight, I played with two of the cutest kids Danny & Audrey and we basically just ran around the house, played downstairs, kicked the soccer ball, played with a balloon, laughed, talked, read books, and then I put them to bed!

It was so fun to watch Audrey (1 yr old) follow & and copy EVERYTHING her brother Danny (3 yr old) was doing.. running around, spinning in circles, hitting the balloon, playing with the ball, no matter what it was she wanted to do it too. Reminded me of when I was younger & how I always wanted to do the same things as my older siblings. I also enjoyed seeing how much joy and excitement the kids had in doing such simple things. I would hit the balloon at Danny and he would just laugh and laugh- haha I love it when kids laugh. Also, Audrey spent almost 30 minutes just throwing this small ping-pong ball around the house and then chasing it, picking it up, & throwing it again. I had to lay down on the floor and reach under the couch and the TV stand to get the ball probably close to 50 times... lol

I love kids. they are so much fun & I am so blessed to have a job where I can just hang out & play with them & then get paid for it.
