This past week we had the joy of babysitting Laynie from Wednesday night until Saturday. I remind you Laynie is now 3, almost 4 years old and Savannah is 18 months. We are only used to having 1 child around, so having 2 was quite different and a good experience. Now we know what to look forward to when we have a second child. We still have some time though. The first night we had her I had to work, so that left Ricky all alone with the 2. Can you picture this? Ricky with 2? These 2 girls are his favorite and he makes up by being a kid with them. Laynie must have gotten out of Savannah's bed and climbed into bed with Ricky and Savannah throughout the night. So when I arrived at home that next morning, I find Ricky, Savannah, and Laynie all in our bed. The funny thing is Ricky was in the middle and barely had room to move. The girls were all over the bed and on him. Wish I could have gotten a picture. That left me to sleep on the futon and Ricky actually woke up and joined me on the futon leaving the girls in our bed.

Thursday the girls got to play around the house and outside for a bit while I got to sleep a little. Let me remind you 2 kids make the house a disaster. It gets bad enough with just one, but 2 man it is a pig sty. Here Laynie is being motherly and pulling Savannah around in her wagon. Later that night we headed to Avon and went to Chuckie Cheese. Neither kid or us parents had been to Chuckie Cheese before. Well Ricky and I have been there, but could not tell you when the last time was. Most likely several years ago when we were these kids ages. We were not too impressed either. What happen to the ball pit, where you got to jump in, that was the best. Chuckie Cheese has sure changed since our days.


The girls really enjoyed riding and getting to drive in the cars. The shook and vibrated and tossed them around a little. Here Savannah is enjoying digging with Bob the Builder.
Laynie loved playing the games where you got to beat things on the head when they popped up.
I love playing ski ball so we attempted to all play. However, Savannah made this a challenge. Instead of throwing the ball and rolling it, she liked to climb up the row and place the ball in the holes. Yes, you got more points but that is not how this game works. So here I am trying to pull her back.

Since we were in Indy that night and we don't have a Dunkin Donuts (Ricky's favorite place) in Terre Haute we decided to get some donuts for breakfast on Friday. What a good and healthy breakfast for the kids. They loved there glazed and chocolate donut holes.



After breakfast, we headed to the Children's Museum for the afternoon. The girls really enjoyed playing at the museum. Savannah especially enjoyed all the climbing. My favorite is the one above where she is coming out of the dog house. She continued to say "puppy, puppy." Laynie enjoyed herself as well. They both loved playing at the water tables. We all had an awesome time and were all exhausted after this fun trip. We really enjoyed being able to spend time with both of the girls. It was a joy to see them having such a good time.

Looks like they had a blast! You guys are the best. Laynie was very sad to leave.
shew! I'm exhausted just READING about having two! Savannah's ski ball strategy cracks me up! She must think us adults are so stupid for rolling them in when you can just walk up and put them in the hole! :)
