ADore it!<br />We're lucky to have kids who can self-babysit now too--I pay them all--$2/hour to the oldest who is in charge. $1/hour to the youngest who must cooperate. If anyone complains, the one getting complained about doesn't get paid. Everyone has skin in the game, and they all want money, so they all get paid. Even if they fight the whole time, I never hear about it, which is FINE by me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-91393377925716993402012-11-08T20:49:23.658-05:002012-11-08T20:49:23.658-05:00Considering that our closest relative is two hours...Considering that our closest relative is two hours away and we live 20 minutes from the nearest teenage babysitter, this is heavenly. Heavenly, I tell you! The older ones are so close in age, and their personalities are such that there really is no reigning, except over the little boys. And no one is fighting to be in charge of them! :) I was always in charge when we were growing up and hated every minute. Siblings are such brats.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-90488521740276547912012-11-08T17:49:27.844-05:002012-11-08T17:49:27.844-05:00Isn't it great when you can start going out as...Isn't it great when you can start going out as a couple again, and not have to worry about hiring a sitter or finding family that can watch the kids? Ahh and the power that the older siblings feel and reign over the younger ones.

We should start a museum of unidentified unclaimed random objects found when vacuuming.<br />I'm impressed that you even paint your nails. I have more of the raggedy, torn, dull plain look going on.<br />Regardless, yes, we are completely fab!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-79676294718080206172012-11-08T13:07:03.319-05:002012-11-08T13:07:03.319-05:00So glad I'm not the only one with such secrets...So glad I'm not the only one with such secrets! <br />Cooked spaghetti noodles I understand, but uncooked noodles?

They don't get worn very often. Compromise is good. How about wedges? Those are much easier to walk in. But don't go crazy and crack open your skull. That would be very bad.<br />We did have fun, thanks.

I should put up a picture of my mom style mani, it's pretty sweet. Just a touch of polish near the middle of the nail, because I painted my nails last month and haven't completely chewed them clean yet. We are so fab lol!Kerrihttp://elbowdeepinsomeoneelsesshit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-20814779865924144392012-11-08T10:18:34.366-05:002012-11-08T10:18:34.366-05:00I do the exact same thing with my toes!

Uncooked spaghetti noodles. I'm not sure why... and after 3-1/2 years of twins I don't ask anymore. I think I might need to vacuum too. <br /><br />Julia<br />www.momontherunx2.netJulia @ Mini Van Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388730493453724672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-37511858163995177762012-11-08T09:08:22.097-05:002012-11-08T09:08:22.097-05:00LOL!!!

I would fall over and crack my skull open in those. I'm willing to compromise but he always prefers the most treacherous things. Hope you had a lovely time!melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.com
