On Sunday, Andy and I (well, mostly me) babysat my friend Amanda's children, Daisy (3) and Grant (almost 6 months). We had them from after church until about 8:00 pm. Let's just say, I have decided that everyone who thinks about having children should be required to babysit some kids for several hours at a time, several different days. I might start a company that I will call "Rent-A-Kid", where people can rent kids of all ages and maintenance levels (high, medium, low, stubborn, laid-back, sleep-deprived, ADHD, etc.) to practice their parenting skills. For some of the fools who have children these days, it should almost be required, yes? Can I get an "Amen!"? For any of you who work in the school system, you know the parents I am talking about. When the kids left, Andy and I just sat on the couch and took deep breaths for awhile. I asked Andy if he was ready for kids, and he said, "No way!" He commented how he enjoyed just chilling with me and the dog, and I agreed. Just moments earlier, I was feeding Grant a bottle, while fixing supper, and wrestling a Capri-Sun drink away from Daisy. Let's just say, I don't know how you mom's do it--y'all are awesome! So here are some pics from the beach and our babysitting day with Daisy and Grant!

They were enthralled!

Love these pics! Glad you guys had a good girls weekend away - why don't we all do something like that?
Yeah for the shout out!!! the beach was a blast. another good way to make sure you're not ready for kids is to do the nursery on sunday mornings. it wears me out.
1. Yep, that's what I was thinking- finally Bethany posts! =)
2. As one of your former roommates, I know you have time to blog. You love to find other things to do besides papers! =)
3. Beach with the girls- how fun!! I need to do that sometime. I'm itchin' for the beach.
4. Oh yeah. I think you should create that business. I SO think people should try them out before conceiving.
Yay! I'm so pumped you posted again!! :) Looks like your beach trip was a blast, except for Andrea should have been wearing a little more sunscreen! Don't get me started on my sun-care and skin cancer tangents...oh and I think "Rent-A-Kid" is ingenious!
I love the pictures and am so glad that you all had a great trip! You and Andy will be great parents!!!!!
