Babysitting Princesses

 A few couples have gotten together and formed a babysitting co-op; six families take one Friday night each month and rotate babysitting duties. Last Friday was our turn, so we hosted five little girls (including Bella) and one handsome little man at our house!


When each little girl arrived, she got to choose one of Bella's dress-up outfits to wear. They looked really cute!



Some Daddy and princess time...


We made whole wheat pancakes and decorated the tops with flowers and crowns using food coloring. Note to self: food coloring can really stain your lips and fingers!


Rex chowing down on his pancakes! We didn't make him wear a princess dress.


Molly was in a loner mood...while the others were upstairs in Bella's room, she set the coffee table for an imaginary tea party. It was so cute! 


Steve entertained the kids outside with tricks on the swing while I fed Evie inside. It was kind of nice to be able to stay inside with the baby while we roughed it in the heat. They loved him!

Whew! We had a great time, but man, it was a trip! Six toddlers for three hours will take it out of you! I'm very thankful that our month is done and we have four more to go before it's our turn again!
