Friday Night Babysitting

Mel needed to go to work, and Ish was on call. So, Mel brought the kids over for me to watch them. Of course, I had to take lots of pictures of Abby.

She loved sitting up in the recliner watching Bradley and Lauren play. She would get so excited and wiggle around until she was lying down instead of sitting up.

We thought it would be funny to take a picture to prove how big Bradley's feet really are. Mel's foot is on the left and Bradley's on the right. They both wear a 6.5. Keep in mind that Bradley's not even 9 years old yet. (He'll be 9 on December 15th.) We're all waiting to see just how big his feet get. Please ignore all of the junk in the background.

Bradley wanted a shot of their bare feet too. From this angle, they are the same size, but his other toes are actually longer than Mel's.

Lauren wanted to get in on the action too. She's going to have small feet like her Mom.

Here are the kids' school pictures. My scanner slightly alters the colors, and I don't know how to fix it. Lauren's hair does not look red in the picture.

The kids got to pick their background colors. Bradley chose the green to match his shirt.

The kids were helping me squish some water bottles and milk cartons for recycling. Bradley really got into stomping the milk cartons. Lauren likes to ham it up for the camera. Sorry the video is sideways. My camera automatically rotates my pictures, but apparently it doesn't rotate videos. I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'll have to remember not to turn the camera when shooting video.

Here's some sideways video of Abby cooing. She's very talkative. You hear Lauren in the back ground saying she's almost as tall as me. I was standing on my knees. Bradley can also be heard in the background telling me to take a picture. He didn't realize I was videoing.
