Babysitting Jae & Hannah for 3 nights!!

Barb and I got to babysit Jae and Hannah for 4 days and 3 nights in October while Bill and Patty where in Maui for a friends wedding. We had a lot of fun but were pretty tired by the end. Hannah decided she only wanted one person to hold her and that was me. Oh...and she wanted to be held ALL the time!! I was flattered the first 24 hours...after that I was really hoping she would share the love...but nope. That put a wrench in our plans because Barb and I thought we would switch things up a bit with doing things with the kids. Oh well....we survived and made it work. We had a super busy weekend...we went to the pumpkin popper, we saw the pumkin races, we made carmel apples, watched movies, played Candyland (my favorite game), and the new elephant game we got Jae. Nonstop fun! The joy of being Aunties is we did get to go home at the end of 4 days and crawl in bed! Barb and I have much respect for what Bill and Patty do and all parents! We questioned often if being "just an Auntie" would suffice for us. ;) Here are some pictures from our weekend:

I got some bowls out for Hannah but Jae decided these made the perfect drums. :)

This is the butterfly net for Jae's elephant game we got him. He was being silly and putting it on his head. He did say a few times this was his fireman hat. He was a fireman for Halloween.

Here was a little down time. :)
This was at the pumpkin races. People really raced in these big carved out pumpkins. Hannah was not much into the races and opted for a nap instead. We kept each other warm!

Jae making carmel apples. Well...just being silly in this photo.

Hannah loved the Tabasco sauce box. Guess who gave her that??!!

This was one of Hannah's "happy days"! She gave out so many smiles this day!!

So cute!!!

This was the day Bill and Patty came back home. We were back at their place. We were all tired!
