Babysitter Swap


Crayon Making Tanner & Emma's Favorite thing to do together.

They set up a shop to sale the crayons.
Too bad it was after dark and no one was around!
They took them to school & sold some, I think they
ended up making about $7. Pretty Good for 8 yr olds.

I know I am a big time cheap wad. It is just sooooo hard getting a babysitter to go out on a date with Jason, so we just DON'T! First because we are going out to spend money, and then we have to pay someone to watch our kids and it cost as much or more then it did for our dinner out. Second, Jason is gone most days and doesn't even get to see the kids all day so hates to leave them at night too. I know I am totally sounding like a cheap skate. We have my niece that watches them and we pay her, and a few girls in the ward that are great as well, but we just don't go out much and I know it is important so we finally found a babysitter swap. Tanner has a cute friend in his class they used to be in our ward until the boundaries changed and they have two girls the same age as our two kids. We had a play date with them in January and then I got talking to Rachel and asked her if once a month they would want to watch our kids and another day we will watch their kids so they can go on a date. We started last month and it was great. Even though we were gone for like 5 hours each the kids were still wanting to play and not leave. So now Jason and I can finally date again. I hope it continues to work out as our kids get a long so well together.
