I'm babysitting tonight...
I'm babysitting my 3 little cousins tonight (ages 5,8,8) So I just made them some hot chocolate, some pop corn and put Beetlejuice in for them...they love that movie. Here's hoping it will be an uneventful night!

4. I always get roped in...
they pull the but we're family line and I have no choice...but they are good kids most of the time so I don't care.

I watched the oldest girl the last two summers. Pay was less than fantastic but it beat real work. All I did was lay on the couch, listen to AAR and talk on DU!

Crawl space? How about in the barn? Yeah that's it, the barn, the call is coming from the barn or any barn like structure on the property... Mooowhoo haaahaaahaaahaaahaa! Don't answer it!

On edit: I forgot their is an archtectural style called "ranch". Damn, damn you have foiled me again!

My two little ones just had baths and got into jammies, and we're going to have popcorn and watch Elf.

10. There's not much sweeter than freshly bathed kids in jammies,

unless maybe you have a puppy, too. :-)

13. Uh, oh, the "lobbyists" have you

outnumbered! But you'll have to clean up the puppy's little accidents, I'll bet. Still, puppies are so cute. . .

14. Yup - I'd be the puppy cleaner-upper.
But they might wear me down yet anyway. Puppies (and dogs) ARE awfully cute...

Sounds like my husband is out of the shower now, so off to watch the movie before the kids fall asleep.

18. We just finished the movie.
It's late for the kids, but that's okay.

We all really enjoyed it! We hadn't seen it before.

19. I saw it in the movies...
I liked it, I thought it was a cute family film, plus I love Will Farrel.

Only one of the three kids is still up. She's watching the Disney Channel and I'd be willing to bet she will be out within 20 minutes

20. My son is still up too.
My daughter zonked out right after the movie and my husband carried her up and put her in bed.

It's about two hours past my son's bedtime, but he's fading. He should be out soon too.
