Birthday cupcakes for breakfast! (With a sippy cup that DOES NOT SPILL, it’s amazing folks.)
Day Three!
If you’ve missed the other installments—Day 1, Day 2
So today was sort of like “Adventures in Baby-Sitting”.
Diane and Matt had recently moved to a new house. They wanted to get their old house on the market quickly (because, hot market, also, long weekend for house browsing!), and the last things standing in the way of that were installing new carpet and Di doing a final clean of the house.
The carpet guys had failed to show THREE TIMES. So today, they were coming and Di was gonna make them work! So she took Patty to the old house around 9 and it was me and the kids.
We started with breakfast, and the had art time.
My sketch page, based on Lupe Tortilla. Big fan of the border.
There was lunch—sandwiches for all!—and snacks (popsicles and ice cream.)
There were YouTube videos.
There was King Domino.
There was Luca.
And yeah, there was some squabbling, but that’s OK, we didn’t burn down the house and no one died.
Di came home with Patty with COMPLETED CARPET YAY! (well except for the stairs, which would be done the next day, Friday) We had a really good dinner of chicken and fettuccine Alfredo. (And ice cream).
Patty loves ice cream.
She is BITING the spoon here. She will not let me take it away.
ICE CREAM ICE CREAMMMM
So, it was a successful day because we had carpet, no one burned down the house or died, and Patty had ice cream. :)
Also, I promised a cat photo, and I think this is the only one I took!
This is Beppo! He is the “guard cat” who watches over Patty while she sleeps. He has a friend, Wilma (who is beautiful). They are quite old but very nice cats.
