Babysitting

Today I babysat for the same family I did over the summer.  As a matter of fact, they were kind of the inspiration for this blog (with a little help from Lizzy and a push from a whole lot of other people.)  There are two kids, Laura (10) and Michael (8).  They haven't changed much since the last time I saw them but we had a lot to talk about today considering I haven't seen them in months!  Over the summer, we had so many funny things happen to us that I never got a chance to share.  Like that one time Michael closed the garage door on his foot.  Or that time that I attempted to answer the phone on my bike and fell into the neighbors garden (I probably still have the scrapes to prove it.)  Or that other time that I used a pad to wipe Laura's bleeding knee at the pool.  We played COUNTLESS numbers of card games and board games and I got to feel like a 10 year old again for the summer, it was awesome.  Today we played the game Just Dance on the Wii.  I had the time of my life, partly because I dance scarily similar to way the game does and partly because I won every single game (after an hour and a half they asked to play a different game because i was winning too much and I was quick to agree-my arms were sore.)  You may not know this about me but I am disgustingly competitive.  If it is any sort of indication, I'm not allowed to bowl with my family anymore.. and today was no different, I didn't even have the heart to let them win a game.. some may call it a fault, but sometimes it works out for me.  After that we played Memory which I have been a pro at since the age of 4 so they didn't really stand a chance.  They then chose a game I cannot even work the controller to: Madden 2010.  I probably deserved it and I was grateful for the break from winning (just kidding) but I was pooped by this point.  Hope all your breaks are just as successful as mine has been so far!
