Star and Braxton come for a visit

The other day Maren and Teresa wanted to go out to get their nails done, so they asked if we could babysit. I LOVE babysitting the kids because its pretty much the only time I get to spend with them....anyway on their way over David asked them to pick up Mcdonalds (YUCK) Braxton got very attached to his own box of fries and would not put them down for a long time...he would share with Star but not us.
After a while, he was trying to play and hold them at the same time and this was the result....it was cute because for about 5 min he didnt even notice he was holding the box upside down and all the fries spilled out. We missed that picture.



We wouldnt let him eat the ones off the floor, so he was picking up the ones on top of the pile and stuffing them in his face as fast as he could. He had chipmunk cheeks and couldnt fit anymore in his mouth!



We put on Polar Express for them, but they were NOT interested in a movie. Our house isnt really made to entertain little kids. We have zero toys and its tiny and cramped. So they sat there as best they could before they started looking for things they could use as toys....



The phone was great for a while.......




Then they found the balls...a few footballs, a volleyball and this nerf ball. Braxton used it as a golf club or something and started swinging at everything....so we decided it was time to go outside. They ran around and kicked and threw the balls every where. Braxton actually let me pick him up and race him. Star is just a self entertainer, until she wanted to be thrown in the air and spun around. Braxtons most used phrase was "I WIN!" They both had a few trips and hits with the ball but they were tuff and kept running around. I dont remember why, maybe it was potty breaks but we had to force them to come back inside. Braxton wasnt too happy for a while...but a few tickles and he was happy again.



Star and I started to get VERY tired, Braxton found the chapstick. At first he picked it up once put it on and walked away. Then he would come back and get it every few min. Then he started putting it on Star.



I got her a little bottle so maybe she could fall asleep, she kept laying down every where and her eyes were opening and closing, so i grabbed her and started falling asleep with her. Little did I know while we were dozing off Braxton had decided he liked the chapstick enough to eat it! Perfect timing for his mom to walk in! I swear he wasnt eating non edible things the entire time Maren! It was fun playing with them, we even got them for 2 hours more than expected! We will need to take them more often.
