Parents for a Day


It was backwards week at FLIPS...


Yummy Pace's...home of the famous popsicles!


Morgan & Me at Pace's
(sorry Burke, we'll have to get a picture of you next time!)

Jarad and I watched his little cousin's, Burke (5) and Morgan (3)this past Monday for a day while his Aunt Amy was out of town. We totally felt like parents, it was really fun! We played Wii in the morning, then took Burke to a birthday party. When we dropped him off, the Mom asked Jarad, "Can I help you?" because she didn't know who he was. It was cute though, because Jarad told Burke all the things our parents use to tell us. Be nice and polite and listen to so-and-so's Mom!

After dropping Burke at the party, Morgan had to be taken to FLIPS. It's like kid gymnastics! And so cute! Jarad's first words were, "We have to put our kids in gymnastics!" as he flashed back to his gymnastic days as a child! We watched Morgan do her thing and she was so cute! Then after FLIPS was through, we went to Pace's to get lunch and slushee's!

We returned to Amy's house and a few minutes later, Burke was dropped off and told us all about his birthday party. Then we watched some shows, Jarad & Burke had a light saber fight, and Morgan & I played pets! We had a fun time playing with the kids. We even took them to McDonald's for dinner and so they could play on the play set. Just as we got home from McD's Amy got home from her trip, so we chatted with her for a while before heading home. We were spent! Kids are a lot of work but we had a blast being parents for a day!
