So this week my daycare provider is on vacation so I am paying my two SS's 13 & 11 to watch their brother. We are on day three & it has been going great. I have had to do a bit of picking up when I get home, but other than that the place is pretty clean. BS almost 4 is loving it, he likes not having to leave the house and having his brothers there with him.

So DH get sends me an email, SS 13 sent him a picture of them titled "outside having fun," with the goofs running through the slip & slide in the back yard. I have to say I am so impressed with the job they have done. I told them I would pay them exactly what I pay my daycare lady. Their mom drops them off in the am on her way to work, I am just amazed how great this worked out.

Oh & here's a odd moment... BS invited BM to his ball game tomorrow, not once but twice...she's coming. ALl I have to say is boy are people going to wonder about us. I have one divorced couple and the dad doesn't even speak to anyone & BM is good about helping out ( very athletic as are her kids ) but she always seems a bit cold to me. Not sure if it is because when she asked for a second packet & said that they TRY to coparent & I said I understand, I have step children, or if she doesn't like that we as coaches concentrate on the most important thing is to have a good time. ( let's face it they are 4 & two 5 year olds so it is more like hearding cats than baseball. All the other parents seem to love us & so do the kids) This woman ought to be floored when she sees my husbands ex wife at our son's game, oh & she said she would help mind the bench so the kids stay hydrated as it will be extreemly hot out tomorrow.
