Our son and daughter-in-law have gone away on a business trip, so we're babysitting the boys. The boys are 4 and 7, and are full of energy. I just wish I have a tiny bit of their energy...LOL They're really good, but when you're not as active as them it's tiring for sure.
They are such a lovable pair and have lots to say on everything. When I put them to bed on a night, we go over all the good things that has happened that day, and the 4 year old, just loves that. It's making me smile just writing this. I asked him what he dreamt about and he said he was talking to Santa.......he had a huge smile on his face.........such innocence.
First morning we took them to school we got there just in the nick of time. The second time we were overly early, so now we just need to get it right. I have found being organized is a key to getting out of the house in good time, otherwise it's like herding cats!!
They live a five to ten minute walk from school, so we walk back and forth. One thing I don't like is the amount of people who bring huge dogs to school with them to pick up the kids. I love larger dogs, more so than the small ones who nip. However the other day a woman with a dog who was 100 to 120lbs was right by the gate at the Kindergarten and was announcing loudly her dog just loved children and would do them no harm. Yeah right 😕 Said dog didn't like other dogs though, and up strolled another woman with a mid-sized dog and went right for the large dog.
Last summer we were picking up our older grandson who was in Grade 1 at the time and up strolled a woman with a "pit-bull like" dog and a snake wrapped round her neck????? I gave her a wide birth, not for the dog, but the bloody snake...LOL
Anyhow, so this is why I am not visiting your blogs, as in between babysitting, and being at their house, I am prepping for a Christmas party our daughter and I are having at our house this weekend. Next week it should settle down and I will have more time to visit everyone's blogs.
Have a good week!
