Melissa & Jamie 14 Year Anniversary and Babysitting Duty

Melissa and Jamie celebrated 14 years of marriage and decided to go to dinner without any kids. Trish and I had babysitting duty.

I got there before Trish (she's working) so Melissa and Jamie could do a little shopping before dinner. Everything was going fine until Trish drove up. Her car is very similar to Melissa's and Hazel thought it was Melissa coming home.

When Hazel noticed it wasn't Melissa, the tears started. Add to that she didn't have much of a nap that day so she was extremely tired. Poor Hazel cried herself to sleep (Violet's faking it for the photo; my tears are real!)

While I was comforting Hazel, Trish helped Violet and Lincoln make bubble pizza for dinner - biscuit dough, pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Very tasty.

Things calmed down when Hazel finally gave up and fell asleep. I laid her on the couch and threatened anyone, including Lola and Khloe, if they made any noise.

Violet and Lincoln are a breeze to watch as long as you have enough energy to keep up with them.

Melissa was worried about taking a selfie in my car without showing the car seats. I don't think she realized there was a mask sitting on the console (LOL). Another remembrance of the times we are experiencing. Happy Anniversary!

In the meantime, Ma is busy for the next couple of days recuperating!
