Baby fever???

We spent this past weekend babysitting for my Aunt's children. Georgie is the oldest and will be 4 in July and Cassidy turned 1 in September. Doug and I went into it thinking that it would be some serious birth control for us. We arrived on Friday night after they had already had dinner. It was a GORGEOUS night out so we played outside for a while and then it was time for bed. I couldn't believe how easy bedtime was! Cassidy went down first and their rituals were pretty similar. Cup of milk, 2 bedtime stories and off to bed. I expected them to fuss or be upset that they had to go to bed but they were not! They were so easy and had their ritual down perfectly.

The only hairy part was how early they woke up!!!! Actually, it was really just Georgie that woke up early. On Saturday morning, he was up at 6:30. Early, but, not too awful. Sunday morning he was up at 5:30!!!! TORTURE! Cassidy was so easy and slept surprisingly long! She woke up at 7 and took a bottle. After playing in her crib for an hour and drinking her milk, we got her up. Piece of cake! It was really fun playing with the kids. Georgie has quite the vocabulary and it was hilarious hearing some of the things he was saying. It was so warm on Saturday, so we decided to wash Dougie's car. The kids put their bathing suits on and had a blast squirting the car with the hose and using sponges to wash it! I was beyond exhausted by the time Saturday night came around. Sunday we took the kids to Chuckie Cheese. It was really fun to see them running around and playing.

The weekend was great and it was really neat to see how Doug interacted with the kids. It's fun to think about what he will be like as a Daddy. I'm definitely excited to have kids; however, we are both in agreement that we need to get a few things figured out with finances before we start seriously thinking about kids. Plus, we both want to travel a bit. So, no baby fever quite just yet....but, it's definitely in the future for us! :)
