Sleeping in our own beds again

Here are some pictures from our experience babysitting for ten days a week after we moved into our new apartment:

Emily loved the playground. It was her first time playing on one.



















She also went to an Easter egg hunt and managed to pick up a few eggs when we plopped her down right on top of them. Otherwise, she got distracted by the rocks.









And here are some pictures I took during the week that I thought were cute:




















Babysitting was exhausting and it took up our whole spring break, but it was fun and also educational. I kind of wonder how people can live with more than three kids and stay sane. It was okay for ten days, but I can't imagine it for years and years. It's probably different with your own kids... anyway, I now have a better idea of what it might be like to have more kids, and can hopefully use that to prepare myself for the future. Emily enjoyed having siblings for a while. She loved watching them play and getting lots of attention from them. But I think the whole babysitting thing tired her out as well. We're all glad to be sleeping in our own beds tonight. Maybe we'll be able to finish unpacking now.
PS - I don't know how she manages to pop her legs out of her sleeper like this. Joseph calls her our octopus baby.
