"Girls...Surgar and Spice and Everything Nice"

After watching Cobe for 5 hours yesterday, I picked up 3 girls to take back to my house to play with Toby. Their parents had called needing a sitter, but I needed to head home to be with Toby because no one else was home last night, so I combined babysitting the girls and taking care of Toby. The girls (Morgan, Helene Claire, and Flora June) were all ecstatic to meet Toby because they all wanted a dog so badly. They had to learn that they couldn't run around the house or else he would chase their feet and try to nip at them. After a few nips at the ankles the girls learned how to handle Toby. During Toby's nap time I took the girls outside to pick raspberries. I explained to them how they know that the berry is ready to be picked and with each one they would ask, "Is this a perfect one?" After packing up their raspberries for home, they climbed in my car and we headed back to Leland to put HC and FJ to bed while we waited for Morgan's dad to pick her up. The 4.5 hours I was with them zoomed by. I loved being so busy with girls and a puppy, but was glad to send them home to their parents.
