Matthew Has Been Babysitting

The weather has not cooperated this week, with heavy snowfall and slushy, icy conditions. However last week Friday I took Matt to Bower Mall for some shopping. Of course the first thing he wanted to do was eat! So off to the food court. Then we found some accessories for his phone and I finally convinced him to buy dressier black shoes for Devin's wedding this summer and some new shirts. So funny to shop with him. He is good for the first 1/2 hour and then that was it.
Saturday they came over for supper and to watch the movie "Tangled". We laughed so hard, it was such a good movie. We played a game of dice which I kicked butt (I think).
On Monday I took Jonmarie to taekwondo and then dropped the girls off at Matt's while Mom and I went to do some clothes shopping. All her clothes are so baggy on her so I made her by a size 10 pant. Yeah!! She had so many compliments on her new slimmer look. So Matt had to get Shaunie to read her books to him. She said she didn't want to and Matt told her"I didn't ask if you wanted to, I am telling you too". So funny how she listens to him.
Then on Thursday Mom came to the fundraiser for the Children Service Center and Matt had to babysit again, because Airene had to leave. So he was trying to get them ready for bed and Shaunie proceeds to say she was hungry and wanted a peanut butter sandwich. The peanut butter was too high so he opened the fridge and told her she would have to eat some Shake and Bake chicken, which she said "I like chicken"and Matt told her how to warm it up in the microwave. I think he likes to have some responsiblilty and the girls listen to him and help when he needs it.
Hope everyone is surving this long winter and prayers that it will end soon! Now I am off to make Shaunie clean her room. Jonmarie is shopping for rugby supplies with her dad, she starts the end of April!
