Mimmy and Haus

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12th - 2008

Adam is the first of my mom's grandchildren.  He is now 18 years old and the oldest of her 15, soon to be 16 grandchildren.  When Adam was little and I still lived at home, my mom and I would babysit him a lot.  He called me "Mimmy" and my mom "Haus".  "Haus" came from "grandma's house".  Stacy would tell him that he was going to grandma's house.  He shortened it to "Haus".  We were known as "Mimmy and Haus".  Over the years my mom and I have babysat A LOT.  We always joked that we should open Mimmy and Haus' daycare. 

Well, today Mimmy and Haus was open for business.  My mom and I babysat for 6 kids today.  It started off with Addy and Ro.  Then came Evan and Max.  Later in the afternoon we added Joshua and Emmy.  We had a 5 year old, 4 year old, 3 year old, and three 2 year olds.  I have to admit, I thought it was going to be chaos.  You know, it wasn't so bad.  It was actually pretty fun.

We played play dough:

Then we went out back to play on the swings.  And, we even put the kids to work raking leaves.  Actually, they put themselves to work.  Rowan and Evan started it off and Addy and Max and Joshua thought it looked like so much fun, they decided to join in.

We also watched  "Shrek the halls" and we did massive amounts of puzzles.  It was a pretty fun day.

Tonight Joe and I went to see Adam in his improv show.  It was fun.  Adam's team should have won.  They were so much funnier than the other team.  He totally got robbed.  If any of you get a chance to catch one of his shows, you should go.  It's a fun way to spend an evening, and it was free!  The next one is coming up in February.

Happy Day!
