A few months ago I spoke to our neighbour because I was pretty sure her son and daughter were nearing or in their teens! And they are ... so between the two of them, we're keeping them busy this summer!! Their son is mowing our grass while we're away and their daughter is watering my flowers and we had her babysit on Friday night! She is only 11 years old (turns 12 in January) but she has her babysitters course and is eager to babysit! It's nice that her parents are just behind us, just in case. She came over at 5:30. Cal and I went for a drink and appy's and then to a movie. In the morning the kids said she was great and she even brought a backpack full of crafts to do with the kids! Emerson and Reese made 3 different crafts and thought it was so cool that she brought all the supplies with her ;) Blake chose not to participate in the crafts - I think he felt a bit awkward with her!! He is nearly as tall as her and only 3 years older ... lol! He said he just watched his hockey videos on the iPad and read. He even put himself to bed, said he didn't need her help! I found this amusing!! But I am very glad that the kids all had a great evening with her and we will definitely be scheduling her a lot more ... especially once the Oilers season starts and we get our tickets!! Yay for a new babysitter, who lives within walking distance :)
