kids

Every so often I spend one of my weekend evenings babysitting for these fierce, little hooligans. When Jenny asks me to babysit, I have no problem saying yes, because I really have a great time with her kids. Every once in a while, it is nice to have an excuse to act like a kid for a night and remember what it's like to play. This time we were cowboys. William insisted on wearing a cape and refused to wear the awesome over sized pirate hat I really wanted him to wear. Charles had to have the biggest gun.

Charles takes tae kwon-do. In this picture it looks more like he is getting his groove on, but really he is showing me his fierce punching arm action.

He is very serious about this.


He can dance too. Charles won first place for "awesome moves" in a dance contest we had once.


William is a sweetie. He loves his buddies. He calls his multitude of stuffed animals his "people" or his "buddies".


Puppy and Lovee are always with him. They are the most important buddies he has. Puppy is a boy and Lovee is an elephant head, blanket, girl.


I love this picture. It defines William.
