Babysitting in the roasty weather.

We babysat Miss Emma today for about five hours. She was a doll the whole time. She was awake and playful, and she never fussed or whimpered. I was absolutely gobsmacked at how very PERFECT she behaved for us! It almost felt like stealing to take money when Adam and Tanya tried to pay us: we left the cash behind on their counter. They noticed, however, and ran it over to Jack anyway. *wink*

I began a roast this afternoon, and we had it for dinner tonight. I fixed the leftovers up for stew in a few more nights, too. I will only have to pop it on the stove, and add dumplings to it as it simmers. I'm thinking that will be perfect for Tuesday night's soccer practice schedule.

I finished up one set of cookies this afternoon, and I'll take pictures tomorrow. I'm working on three sets tonight, and one is 75% done right now, but I need to let the last step "set" a bit before I can proceed to the next one. I love when ideas turn out so cute!

It was so crazy-warm today, and I had A.J. shovel a few loads of snow from the yard onto the driveway for fast melting. We did that last spring, and it helped us to be rid of the snow several days before everyone else on our block. It was warm yesterday also, and it should stay this way for the next four days as well. I imagine there will be considerably less snow by the end of this warm spell!

I'm glad to see that you are enjoying some warmer weather! And the little girl that you babysat sounds so sweet. :)

We still have snow on the ground her from what? Two or three weeks ago? It is slow to melt, I tell ya.
I am ready for warmer temps!!

Well, you know... 42° today is 80 DEGREES warmer than it was here early last week. :-)

At this point 42* is warm to me, too!! But yeah, I know that you guys get way colder there than we do here. I cannot imagine how I'd handle that.
