A couple more things

I thought of a couple things I meant to mention in the birthday post.

Yesterday one of Tess's little friends called on my cell phone to wish her a happy birthday. She wasn't sure who it was at first and then she finally realized it. She looked right at me and said, "It's Jacob, Mommy!" and then spoke into the phone and said, "You can sing me happy boorfday now Jacob." It was all about her yesterday!

Then this morning she woke up and came into the living room with a look of shock on her little face. She is a human heater while sleeping so she usually snoozes in nothing but her panties. Last night she apparently put on some of Selah's low rider panties that are just way to low. (I didn't realize that when I bought them or they never would have made it into my basket.) So Tess comes in and says, "Mommy look! When I toorned 5 I got too big for my panties!"

Love that girl!

On another note, Marleigh had her first real babysitting job this evening. She has of course stayed with her siblings before but we rarely pay her for it. She's also gone to friends homes before to watch their children while the adults were in a prayer group downstairs. So this was her first real alone-with-no-adults-around babysitting job. She did great! And heck, I think I'm going to start babysitting because she made a killing. Two hours and she brought home 30 bucks. I think she should pay for the movies tomorrow. Think she'll go for it? Nope, not a chance.

Wow! Did she babysit for a family with 10 children or something? That is some good money!
