So last week, G&K had a FANTASTIC idea, which I'm surprised no one had come up with sooner. We decided to do a babysitting trade, where once a month, each of us takes ALL the cousins. And the other 2 couples get to have a date night. Babysitting starts to get pretty pricey when you have more than one kid, and you are gone for 2 or more hours, AND you pay for dinner and or a movie or whatever. Yikes. But we are pretty excited that we get the next two weekends for a date night! We've been struggling to find sitters so we can go out. Thus, we haven't had a real date night in a long time. I have high hopes that we can get some good Christmas shopping done, and maybe a night out for dinner! It's going to be awesome. If nothing else, we can have some real adult time, even if it's just going shopping for groceries without kids!! That will be major for me, since I usually go by myself WITH both girls, and it's usually a disaster.
We started it off with all the kids coming to our house so G&K and G&J could go on a date. We made oreo turkeys. Good times. The kids loved them. Kayla and Haylee made theirs and then promptly ate them, while Dillon tried to make his last as long as possible. I think he ended up eating it though before he left.
She informed me that she was "angster". I think she was going for "gangsta." Still cute though!
They were all quite pleased with their final result.
TWO date nights coming up!! I am so excited!

All our babysitting exchange people moved over the summer and I really miss it! Finding a babysitter is REALLY difficult, especially with no family around.
And I LOVE those turkeys! I am totally going to make them with Emma.
