She Should Come with a Warning Label: Cute and Dangerous

Another one of my friends had a crazy day yesterday, and I want to know who else? Is is a trend? Something with the moon?

So...I babysat for a friend of mine yesterday.

We played at the park on the way to New Orleans (the one across from The Splashy Place) for almost two hours and then went on down to have lunch and pick up Paul from the airport. He had been doing the best man thing living it up in Atlantic City, and we were all so happy to have him back here in nice, boring Baton Rouge. =)

Anyway, if you didn't already know the three kids I had with me...I had 3.5 year old Beck, 22 month old Jett and 20 month old Bree. They look like stairsteps because Jet is a big fella. And if you didn't already know the personalities of these three kids you might think that it was one of the boys who kept breaking out of the car cart to run out of the store, trip old ladies and manhandle the wine display.

But, chances are you do know Bree and when I tell you that she was the one who prompted he clerk to suggest I get backpack leashes for them...or that she was the one who was halfway out the door laughing like a maniac and waving to people walking in and handing them coupon booklets....or that she was the one who burned her finger when she lunged out of my arms at the tray of macaroni and cheese...

Even with ALL of that chaos, we were right on schedule to pick Paul up from is 12:20 flight. But, literally as I was placing the first plate of chicken and monkey cheese in front of a hungry kid, my phone rang. It was Paul who had just landed. And literally as I was opening the phone, Bree pulled Beck's plate of food onto the floor and goes, "hm. Mess."
