Bluebeard

That is what the babysitter will be calling Adam from now on. She emails me at work about two to three times a week. I never know what I will find when I open those emails. Usually it's a cute picture of them at the zoo or the park or on a picnic. Well, I got a surprise yesterday. Adam was using a blue stamp pad and proceeded to smear the ink all over his chin. His expression in just the sweetest. He is looking as if nothing is wrong. Luckily, it all washed off and there was no evidence of "Bluebeard" when he was returned to me that afternoon.

All Dressed Up and No Where to Go!

Adam and Sarah stay with a former colleague of mine during the day. Jackson joins them after school. She has a little girl a little less than a year older than Adam. They play together very well. Here, Ivy has convinced Adam to dress up with her. I was told that Adam couldn't get very far in the high-heeled Tinker Bell shoes. Thank goodness! He probably would have wanted to wear them home!

We Survived!

We all survived the first week back to work/school. I think Sarah was very happy to be at Mandy's. I'm sure Adam and Ivy entertained her every day. She fussed when I put her in her car seat each day although I think it really was that she didn't want to be confined in that thing.

Adam was so excited to see Ivy on Monday. He had really missed her. When Kevin got home that evening, the first words to him from Adam were "Adam go to Ivy's house today".

I have been so surprised at how tired I've been this week but then I probably shouldn't be. I think I am going to have to start my days with some caffeine. Too bad I don't like coffee.

I received an email with a picture each day and one day got a video of Sarah talking to me. You can watch it, too.

Summer Fun

The babysitter compiled pictures of the boys and all the fun they had this summer into a slide show. They definitely look like they had a blast!

First Day

Today was Adam's first day at the new babysitter's house. Jackson will be joining him when he gets back from the beach. We were worried about him starting without Jackson, but he did fine. I asked for a good-bye hug, so he came over hugged my legs and then ran back to play. He could have cared less if I left him. It looks like Adam had a great day!

Ivy has some cool toys.
