BB the Babysitter

Last night I had the privilege of babysitting my 2 nieces while Johnnie-Lynn and Lawrence went to file their taxes.......I must say I had a ball!!!!! Taylor was so excited to be there....Johnnie-Lynn said that all she could talk about on the way there was her bubble bath....The bubble bath is a tradition at my house.....She gets as many bubbles as she wants and then she gets to wash my hair......Last night she unfortunately didn't get to wash my hair because I couldn't put Sophie down long enough...She has this thing about being held.....Its called SPOILED ROTTEN!!!!


Anyway, Before the bubble bath I had this idea to play dress up with Taylor......Every time she comes she wants to wear a "BB SHIRT" so we wore BB's scarves and toboggans......As you can see from the pics Taylor had a ball....Sophie on the other hand not so much......Me.....well...of course I had fun.....I'M CRAZY LIKE THAT!!!!



While we were playing in the hats and stuff Taylor found this lady bug tent in my closet...Now I know all of you are wondering why a grown 29 year old man has a lady bug tent.....My mom bought it for my classroom about 2 years ago but it is way too big......I had it in my closet waiting for a time I could use it......I think I have officially found the time to use it.....Taylor played in that thing for over an hour....I let her put her toy basket in there and she had a fit!!!!! I think the lady bug will become a tradition that rivals the bubble bath!!!!


After a while of playing and me sneaking in an hour of 24, which by the way was one of the most intense......Definitely way better than last week!!!!!! I cant believe daddy Bauer killed his son.....Anyway after Taylor played and had her bubbles she told me she wanted to go to sleep in her bed (the bed in the guest room is hers now whether I want it to be or not) That lasted all of about 10 minutes and then she was on the couch with me and Sophie.... As you can see we were all plum tuckered out!!!! Thanks to Johnnie-Lynn for snapping this picture at about 11 when they came back.....Thanks for letting me keep them Johnnie-Lynn..I am looking forward to the next time already!!!!!

I found your blog via Emily's. I think it's so nice that you take care of your nieces like that. ALL of our family lives thousands of miles away from us. My sisters and brothers really miss out. I'm glad you have snow. I could send you some of ours!!I USED to LOVE winter until I was confined to a house(that seems smaller each day) with three BOYS 4 and under!! (It's amazing that my walls don't explode with the amount of energy in here!)
