Awesome.

Ellie Bell

She is all grown up. And SASSAFRASS! (In the best way. For example: I caught her checking herself & her barbie heels out in the mirror for just a tad bit too long. I love it.

"NO SCHOOL! NO WORK!"

Last week was pretty awesome, I got to hang out with the kiddos. Hays is out of big boy school for the moment and Eleanor and Granison were celebrating "obscure Jewish holidays."Anyway, I loved it! We went to The Rural Life Museum, the park, and lots of swimming the the club. It was a refreshing change from the old day job.

Precious.

Swimmin' Lessons. 

Dance partyyy.

My favorite family! I am so very lucky to be their fourth child. Back to summer school and work. BOO.

"Riz! This means that we are best friends!"

Hanging out with Hays is pretty awesome.

Six Days

So, I'm seriously sad that I am leaving the city....At least I have this little one to see!

Two Days

I only have 2 days of babysitting left. I'm really excited to be going to NY, but I am really sad to leave the little people.I'm going to miss Granison and all of his funny little sayings. He has this amazing ability of storing things that people say and repeating them back to people correctly. He is a genius.
"This means that we are bestest friends!"
I WILL MISS THAT FACE.I will also miss fajita night, making fun of golf, marg night, wine night and making Amanda listen to alllllll my problems, "sketti" night, coffee talk with Susu, being "THE BOSS", pot roast night, the freshly made morning coffee, THE MACARENA, and being able to DVR all of my favorite shows.
Okay, I'm dramatic. I will be back in six weeks.

SRSLY!

Sweet Gran Master PHays, Spiderman fanaticAnd then, Hays and I walked around the neighborhood and I taught him how to throw up the peace sign to all of the neighbors. Straight gangster. You can thank me later, Amanda!

Hey, I babysit!

So, I haven't mentioned three very important people that I know. I guess that I haven't mentioned them because if you know me, then you probably already know alllllllll about Hays, Granison, and baby Eleanor. I cannot help but talk/brag about them a little bit. They are just so darn cute. And they are absolutely hilarious. Big talker? Nope, I can totally back this up.
Exhibit A:So fabulous!
Exhibit B:So silly.
Exhibit C:Aww! As Haysie would say, "this means that we are best friends!"
