Sitting on Babies

May 8, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

I would just like to say that I am super excited for this summer because one of my jobs (haha I have 3) is to watch two adorable twins a couple times a week.  (Babysitting…sitting on babies…;-) )

I’ve watched them occasionally in the past couple of months but I get to come over on a regular basis now.

They just turned one so are eating “real people food” now and it’s seriously hilarious. 

I thought they were doing pretty well with their carrots, however when I took the highchair tray off, they were EVERYWHERE!

It’s okay..the dog helped me clean up

I also like that the mom of the twinies is a pretty healthy gal and I got to try some of her yummy mushroom quinoa with my chicken tenders. 

I added the rest of the carrots and avocado the kiddos didn’t eat.  Don’t worry, I will tell the mom they didn’t mow it all down themselves. 😉

I took the twins out on a 2 mile stroller walk/jog and wore myself out.  And them.  The little girl was sleeping when we got back.  So precious!

My day has been pretty great, writing a post during their morning nap and playing with them all day until their afternoon nap (now).

Still haven’t written that heartfelt Blend recap…need time to think for that one.  For now you can check out the fitness aspect of the weekend here.

Hope you’re having a lovely day all!
