Left: Kate with her banana (that was a hard one to make let me tell ya!) Right: Kate with her donut, another request that was extremely "hard" to make:).



This is when I let Katie take some pics...um...we'll work on this again...she thought it was so funny that she took a headless pic!

Last Saturday I babysat my favorite little ladies! Natalie and Kate!!!!!!!!!!! I love these girls! They are like what I imagine nieces will be like! I brought my balloons and made a few animals for them (I only know how to make like 5 animals). The girls kept requesting I make all sorts of things that I didn't know how to make, so I faked that I could make it and they excepted my masterpieces, hehe! I never knew balloon art would be so entertaining! After we made all sorts of animals and objects, Natalie wanted to play a game with them so I suggested we hid the animals and then find them, so we took turns playing hide and go seek the animals and that was a riot! I taught them the hot and cold technique, they loved it! It's so fun when you can teach kids things they've never heard of before! I guess that's why I love teaching so much, go figure:)! After that they wanted to pile up the balloons and make designs out of them. Then they thought it would be cool to make me try to hold all of them at the same time! We had lots of fun with the balloons and the camera...Kate accidentally dropped the camera, so until I get that looked at I don't think I'll be blogging much, well at least not with pics, sorry guys! Accident happens though, I always tell my kids at school to say "hakuna matata!" It's our problem philosophy! Oh and then we decided to read the animals bed time stories...hilarious!
