we're setting up a lemonade stand
except we won't be selling lemonade.
Do you think this will work?
Me, dressed ultra cute...
Dave, in some 'good butt' jeans...(inside joke I bet I share with some of you)
Miles, RIGHT after his nap so he is smiley and happy...
Logan, well, Logan can charm anyone, anytime, so he'd be good to go anytime...
We're going to set up a table at the local movie rental store.
Our sign will read:
**FREE COOKIES** (if you are a girl between 14-17)
Of course, they will approach and think in their head, 'wow! This sure is one cute-cool family! Their children are adorable, and LOOK AT THOSE THIGHS!(On the BABY, NOT me! Remember, I'm cute and cool!!) I could just eat them right up! Oh, and that other child, I bet he is so much fun!'
Then my friends, we move in.
"Oh, so you want a cookie? SURE, let me get one for you!" as we walk slowly back to the jar.
-in comes Logan-
"What's YOUR name? My name is Logan! I think you're pretty. Can you be my friend? Because, my Mommy and Daddy said they really want to go out to supper alone, and I am looking for a friend to play with me a couple times a month. I'm REALLY cute, REALLY well behaved, and I even go to bed early, and never with a fight. Oh, one more thing...I give really good hugs. Here, let me show you!"
-we still wait, chanting in our heads, 'go Logan, go Logan'-
"Here's that cookie! BTW, we're looking for a babysitter a few times---
"I'll DO IT!! Call me ANYTIME!!"
------------
think it will work?
***OK~Do you guys REALLY think I'd do this! This is 100% a J-O-K-E! And thank you for the email telling me it was a bit desperate. Um...yeah...as desperate as we are, I think not! Wow! I'm shocked you guys thought I was serious!!***

OMG I cant' believe people thought you were serious!
I laughed so hard when I read this post and even harder when I read the first comment.
I'd watch them. But, uhm, I'm a far way away.

thats the one thing i miss about living close to family. we always had a babysitter, even if it was last minute. And we never had to pay them :)

Hope you find a baby sitter so you can have a night out!!!

I dunno...might work.
Maybe you and I could work out a date-night schedule...or date-afternoon where we could trade days so that maybe once a month we could go out alone...without kids...and eat a hot meal...we'll chat about it.
12:51 PM
HELL yes we'll chat about it!
Lets chat about a Moms dinner out too one of these days, hm?
