Isabelle and Mady

Isabelle and Mady are two little girls that I've been babysitting for a few years now. I don't babysit them that often, but when I do it is usually and overnight kind of thing. Their parents like to take trips to get away every once in a while, and their mom says I'm the only babysitter they trust to keep their girls overnight... which makes me feel good :) The weekend before Thanksgiving I stayed with them all day Saturday and through Saturday night. This is what our day/night looked like...


This is sweet Isabelle


And Miss Mady :)


We spent most of the day outside with these girls, neighbors Emma and Brooke, creating a "city" out of side walk chalk. I taught them how to do this because it was something I did ALL the time as a kid. It is so much fun!


Isabelle in her "house" that she made.


This is Mady's "house." She is SO creative. They both are!


Take a look at Mady's cool "couch" :)

Later that night we made a HUGE mess making cupcakes decorated for Thanksgiving :)

Isabelle licked the icing off of two and declared she was finished. This is normal.





Finished product!


That night we watched The Grinch (one of my Christmas favorites) and I let them stay up a little later than their parents would have :) After I put them to bed, I tried to study except I was SO exhausted that I fell asleep on my book! Haha!
The next morning we woke up and made cinnamon rolls (out of the can :) and played with play dough until I took them to their neighbors house where they spent the next night until their mom and dad got home.

Here is our play dough creations! Mady made a "cake" I made "chocolates" and Isabelle made "cookies." I'm telling you, these girls are SO creative! That's one of my favorite things about them!


Sometimes, I love babysitting so much that I feel like I should just drop out of school and make it my career :) I'm so lucky for all the families I babysit for, and so lucky I got to spend the weekend with these two little beauties!
