This is what my kids did while they were at her house...
Look at the adorable bunny Sarah came home with. Jennwa really does make all the crafts you see on her blog. And might I add, the bunny was adorable. It had googly eyes, whiskers and two bunny teeth. It was even done in St. Patrick's Day green! Jennwa thinks of everything!
This is what Jennwa's kids did at my house today...
Look closely.Yep...that's right. The girls are holding fly swatters.
For at least 30 minutes, the girls chased a fly around the house. Hey, I promised I would babysit. I never said anything about playing with them.
I figure they may have been chasing a fly but at least they were burning off the calories from the nitrate-filled corn dogs I fed them for lunch.
Did I mention, I never babysat as a teenager?
Probably a good thing.
Oh, and Jennifer? Are we still on for tomorrow night? I'm still watching your kids while you and your husband go out to dinner. Right?
hello?

This is so funny! I am sure you both had things under control, in your own way. It's nice to have friends who you can trust to mind your children.
Have a nice weekend!
That is funny. My kids love fly swatters too..they should market them at Toys R Us!
We have this one flyswatter that runs on batteries an puts out on electric charge. The kids love it if they hit the bug - it falls down and spins around on its back for 5 seconds. The problem is that it will shock whatever it touches - kids too. I have to watch it closely.
KEEP BELIEVING
that is hilarious!
When I was teaching, we had this activity where we used fly swatters. I would put a transparency on the overhead projector with a bunch of numbers. The kids had solve a math problem quickly and 'swat' the answer! You wouldn't believe how the kids would fight to get to have the swatter!
ha ha ha! Super cute bunnies...and great idea with the fly swatters!
At least they got some exercise running around. Better than TV.
Well, they look like they're having fun - and that's all that matters, right?
You are a good friend (and babysitter)!
Fly swatters, great idea. It looks like the kids think so.
What a cute idea the bunnies, and St. Patrick's bunnies to boot. Your friend really is crafty. Me, not so good.
Jennwa is lucky that we don't live close to you guys...my daughter would never want to leave! Although I'm sure she would have a blast at your house too with the fly swatters!
Fly swatters...awesome idea!!
Heidi :)
Nothing wrong with a little fly swatter exercise. :)
The way I see it is you were teaching them a little healthy competition. Them versus the fly.
Smiles!
Fly swatting is considered healthy play in this house. Beats sister swatting anyway.
The fly swatter was a great idea, now Cheyanne wants one for her birthday. Thanks now I can get off cheap. 2 for $1, Love it. They had a great time, they always do. Your the Aunt they will never have.
Classic. I am with YOU on this one.
Bwaa ha ha! I love it.
LOL - fly swatters are the perfect toy!
Love the paper plate bunny! So clever...
