The other day I had the opportunity to watch some of my friends kiddos. It was so fun to watch the kids interact together. It was a little bit like having Maia as the big sister and then a set of triplets... (Lilly is just 6 months older than Elsie and Collin, who are only 1 day apart). So this is how I managed it...put Maia upstairs to babysit Lilly(come on, she's 3 already! She's totally responsible:)
and then set Elsie and Collin in front of the TV with Baby Signing Time on...
OK...really, I'm not THAT bad of a babysitter. We did do some fun things too...like go for wagon rides, play ball (a MUST with Collin!) and swim in the pool. Oh and chocolate chip cookies...my neighbor happened to mention "cookies" while we were outside playing and Lilly's ears perked right up and she kept yelling "COOKIES" until I finally gave in and brought out a package of cookies. But then guess who ended up eating the most...you got it...little Elsie girl. Here's how it went...Elsie finished first, then Maia, then Collin, then Lilly (who actually didn't even eat all of hers, but don't worry, Elsie found it and finished it off for her:)
This cutie is Collin...Maia loved him! She said to me "Boys are funny!" and "Collin is funny" and "I want a brother Collin." It was sweet. She is really determined that she is going to have a baby brother next.....we'll see....
I love this picture (below) because all the girls are just standing by with this look on their face like, "What is he doing?!" He was just loving the water and rolling around and splashing like crazy!

hahahah! Oh this is funny! Talk about a full house. That is amazing to handle 4 kids under the age of three. I mean, I am honestly stunned and impressed. They are all so darn cute and looked like they had fun together! I feel like I have been missing some good partying being away and all.
Way to go girl! 4 kiddos all at once. You're meant to have a big family. :) They are all so cute! Collin seemed to handle all the ladies just fine even though he was missing his side kick Gavin! ;)
haha I love it... When I first read the post..I thought "this is NOT the crescent I know"..then I scrolled down...and then you redeemed your babysitting skills with the pool, the wagon ride, playing ball and the cookies! haha. I love it!!
