Day of Play

Today, my friend Lindsey was called to jury duty, so I volunteered to keep her kids while she was gone. The kids had an absolute blast! We started off the day with a little dip in the pool. It wasn't easy keeping an eye on four swimming kids, but we managed. Then we went inside for a little snack then play time!!! After a gourmet lunch of dinosaur chicken nuggets and grapes, we got tattoos and then had a Wii bowling tournament. Then the kids had some arts and crafts time. We turned it into Christmas in July and made lots of ornaments, as well as some butterflies. Finally, we ended up with a little quiet time...the three oldest kids watched a movie while Isaac napped. It was a great day...thank God for well-behaved kids!!!
