Since I am working, I don't get to babysit Ian and Mila much - lucky Craig gets to do that if one is needed during the week. So, when Vanessa had a photo shoot on Saturday and Curt was at the temple, I jumped at the chance to take the kids.
We started out by playing in the living room - Mila even used the toy basket for fun!
She thought she was quite funny (so did I.)
Then, we made chocolate chip cookies. I hadn't made them in over a year, so I had to check the recipe on the package of chocolate chips to make sure I included all the ingredient.
I turned the oven light on for the kids so they could see the cookies inside the oven.
Which led to them grabbing the cookie racks for cooling and sitting down to watch their cookies bake.
Ian wanted to go outside to catch butterflies. I tried to dissuade him since it's November and I haven't seen a butterfly in weeks, but he really wanted to try it. He didn't last too long as it was pretty chilly outside.
Mila checked out my chinas.
I am not sure what sparked her interest - she's in our home frequently, but I have never seen her go over and spend time looking at my horses.
All too soon Vanessa finished her shoot and arrived to pick up the kids. We had a lovely time together, and I hope to do it again!
