So Matt and Leah had a Fed-Ex work dinner to go to and Leah was worried that she wouldn't be able to go because she couldn't get ahold of her 
mother and didn't have another sitter lined up. I didn't like hearing that she would have to stay at home with the kids while Matt got to go hang out with other work couples so I volunteered to watch her 3 kids. At first I think Leah thought I was kidding around but I really didn't mind and because we always go to the dog park together with the kids they are already pretty good about listening and respecting what I ask them to do or not do...so I really
wasn't worried about 3 hour evening with them. The hardest decision was whether I went to their house or the kids came to mine so Leah asked the kids and it became unanimous...all at the same time the kids screamed 
Melissa's House again and again!!!! So that was that! Leah packed up some string cheese and some goldfish crackers for the kids and then over they came. We of-course began our evening by playing ball in the back yard with my girls. Andrew and Isabelle even played in the dogie pool and leave it to Isabelle to SIT in the dog's water dish! Madison didn't care to play very long outside...so after a
while she decided to go in and watch a movie made special by me pulling out my big black beanbag for her to veg. in. Once it started getting dark outside and I got the kids dried off we all came inside to play. I had bought 
some "Magnetixs" a couple of years ago when they went on clearance at Target and this was the perfect time to make their debut! Andrew and Isabelle played with them for quite a while and even Madison stopped watching the movie to play for a bit. Somewhere around 9 everyone was t
ired (including the dogs) so we started a new movie and took up residency on the couches for a snuggle fest. Poor Isabelle...she was so offended that Baylie and Ginger would not let her lay on them (like their dog Dakota does)...every time she'd crawl over to them and try to put her head on their bellies, they'd jump up and move to another sleeping spot! It was funny and sad all in one! I tried to explain to Isabelle that my dogs are used to playing with kids but they aren't used to being laid on like pillows like her puppy is...sadly she did not accept my explanation! :)

They still want to know when they get to have another "sleepover" at Melissa's house!
