Babysitting weekend!




For the last three days, we hosted the Essig children-Phoebe and Charlie. This was our exchange weekend with their parents! Going from one toddler to three was a stretch but so much fun! Once you got over the extra volume from two additional children, it went pretty well. Quinten offered more challenges than either Phoebe or Charlie. He is not used to sharing at home with his toys or mommy's attention. I felt this was an especially good experience as he needs to learn to share!
We took the kids to a pumpkin patch and hay ride. Lucky for us, Lauren came along! Phoebe loved having a "big sister" and Lauren responded quite well. I am enjoying seeing Lauren's nurturing side come out. The kids looked over all the pumpkins! Quinten thought they were more like soccer balls! Everyone liked being on the large tractor and going through the apple orchard.
