     We had big start to the week. The youngest lost a tooth. It was hanging on by a thread when I got there. He pulled it after breakfast and it was disgusting. He was very excited and wanted to show his mom. He tried hiding the tooth as a surprise but I did not want it to get lost or not seen for the tooth fairy. He did not like me telling him no but I had to. The temperature got up to ninety-eight degrees so that morning we did an obstacle course they made. It was a great way to exercise before it got too hot. Then we did homework and reading but it was still a struggle to get them to read. We had a relaxing day playing games and having some tv time. On Tuesday it was still very hot. I tried to get them to do an indoor scavenger hunt but the oldest thinks she is too old to play. The youngest then did not want to play because he saw his sister not participating. I was frustrated because I did not know how to entertain them anymore without spending money. They decided to play a card game called trash. They beat me every round and we played for two hours. They love cards and I think it is an amazing way to get their brains going. On Wednesday we rode our bikes up to the grocery store. it took about ten minutes to get there and we found sports drinks and sat down to drink them. This was so fun and they really enjoyed it. When we got back I made lunch and we headed to the pool but they started bickering so we left. I think I left their house that day leaving two very worn our kids for the parents.

       All summer I have been babysitting. Today we went to Deanna Rose and saw all the farm animals. We fed the baby goats, which were so cute. We then headed over to get ice cream. I had a cone while one kid got a milkshake and the other also got a cone. We went to sit over at the picnic table when all of the sudden the milkshake slipped through one of the children's hands and spilt everywhere. We left after a worker helped clean the mess up and I felt awful. The drive home was completely silent. when we got home I made them lunch. They had tv and lunch time. after that we played a very fun game they have called "uzzle". You have to match the blocks to the card you turn over and whoever does it first gets to keep the card. After all the cards are used you count them and whoever has the most wins. When we were done with "uzzle" they requested to go to the pool, so we went. We were there for an hour and a half. They asked to leave so we did. When we got home we

      On Monday this week, the kids and I had a relaxing day. We did their schoolwork, played games, and went to the pool. We also made birthday cards for their dad since the next day was his birthday. On Tuesday we had a lot of iPad and tv time. We tried going to a park but the mom forgot to leave behind their car seats so we stayed in and went to the neighborhood park. Today was a bit more fun. They woke up late so we did tv time and breakfast first. Then we went to the park. The younger one found a friend to play with while the oldest was a bit bored. We stayed for about thirty minutes until they requested to go home. We went home and had lunch. I made us all pizza. Then we did school work and played sequence. The park was a great idea. They got their energy out and were not inside all day on such a nice Wednesday. Another great activity is finding a pool to go to. Kids their age make friends easily and also play well with each other. I have found this to be an amazing way to keep t

       This week it was getting harder to find things to do with the kids that they enjoyed. I texted their mom to ask for ideas because I was unsure of what I was allowed to do with them. She responded and was very open to anything. The next day we decided to bake. We went to the store and got red velvet cake mix and cream cheese frosting. When we got home the kids were excited to help. They took turns adding ingredient's to the bowl. They also offered to mix it together. After it was mixed I started filling the liners with mix and put them in the oven. We had some down time so they played on their ipads. Then it was time to decorate. We mixed color into the frosting and began. When I was finished I helped the little boy with his cupcakes. I frosted while he added sprinkles to each. The older one was a professional. She had her own frosting decorator. She then sprinkled everything. After we all finished we cleaned up. I felt this was a great way to keep them entertained with a fun
