We Love Babysitting Our Grandkids... So Much Fun!!

Our grandkids caregiver went on a 2 week vacation... good for her! So we wanted to help out our kids by babysitting Charlie & Lizzy during the day while their parents worked... so that's just what we did. In early October we spent 5 days in San Jose caring for the kids, bringing Charlie to school, and playing with them. It was fun... except the part when we had to get up very early early every morning! The first morning we were up at 5:30, got dressed, made the bed, made breakfast and figured out lunches. By the fifth day we weren't so enthusiastic... LOL.

Lizzy loves Codi so much and she follows her around and pets her all the time.


The kids had a great time at the park. They got lots of exercise playing on the jungle gyms and running up and down the hill.

Lizzy thought she was hot stuff trying to ride her brothers old bike.

Oh how cute... Charlie was picking flowers for Vovo.

Charlie wore himself out running up and down the hills a gazillion times! Check out this video.

Charlie and Vovo spent lots of time in his play room making "stuff" like a Halloween frame, Play Doh creations, doing puzzles and playing games and cards.

Here's the finished product; made especially for Mommy.

Although Halloween was still about 3 weeks away, Pami wanted to let the kids try on their costumes to ensure they fit properly. The children, especially Charlie, were SO EXCITED. Charlie did not know until this moment that he was going to be Optimus Prime and I caught his excitement. For those of you that don't know OP, it's a character from Transformers. That's all Charlie talks about is Optimus Prime.

Lizzy as Snow White

Guess who...
