Maggie

Rosie & Anna had a great summer with their babysitter, Maggie Copeland.  We "shared" her with our good friends, Nate & Josh McReynolds.  Nate & Josh are like Rosie & Anna's brothers (exact same age - both actually a few weeks younger/older than Rosie & Anna). They have known each other since they were babies which is really cool.  They get along great, and I love that my daughters have some "brothers" to tease & goof around with.  Michelle (Nate's mom) told me that he likes hanging with Rosie because she's cool & laid back.  They are completely comfortable with each other.  In fact, Rosie played hairdresser one day & Nate & Josh actually enjoyed getting their hair done by Rosie.  When I came home from work, I laughed so hard at Josh's hair!! He loved it - it was so poofy & BIG! 

Thanks to Maggie for putting up with them - they did so many fun activities!  Swimming, movies, crafts, putt putt, and visited every place in St. Louis (Magic House, Arch, museums, Zoo, & more).  She was a lifesaver picking them up from swim practice every day - it made my life so much easier!!  Did we mention how often they went to Starbucks???  They were spoiled!!  So happy they loved their summer vacation.  Maggie even made sure they read & did some "homework" over the summer.  Thank you Maggie!

Their last day with Maggie with a trip to Ted Drewes for some yummy ice cream.  They hit Dotties' ice cream parlor at least once a week too for a mini serving of that awesome ice cream!  I love Josh's expression - he is a complete goofball and we love him!
