We heart our baby-sitters!

While I was happily (not really) at jury duty last week, our sweet friends/sitters helped us out on Monday and Tuesday by watching the girls. I can't say enough how incredible it is to have not one, but two people who aren't family members love my girls like Kara and Heather do. (At least that's what they tell me anyway!)

Kara watches the girls every Monday for me so I can run errands child-free which also means I get way more accomplished in half the time. Kate loves when she comes over because they usually do something fun that we don't get to do regularly. Last week, they baked Valentine cupcakes. I called at lunch to check on the girls and Kate got on the phone and excitedly told me that she had made cupcakes for me and to come home and eat mine! She had so much fun baking, icing and decorating.(If you hadn't noticed, Kate is quite into dress-up play these days. This is not a normal hair accessory that we wear out and about!)

Heather is our other wonderful sitter and she came over on Tuesday to play. She is always so quick with my camera to record precious pictures of Kate and Maggie and she even has taken a video or two of them. How she manages to be that quick is amazing to me. I'm usually still sitting there thinking about getting the camera by the time the fun is over and then I've missed it. She captured this sweet game of peek-a-boo between Kate and Maggie. I don't know who was having more fun, Kate or Mags?



And p.s...thanks to my mom for flying in on Tuesday night to help me out on Wednesday. Kara and Heather both work on Wednesday and I was in quite a bind. Luckily, I got released from jury duty Wednesday evening and so mom and I got to spend a couple of days with the girls together.
