Oct 1999:
The new neighbors kids had proved too much for their babysitter, so I volunteered to take a shot at it, since our kids were all in the same grade, and Sara and Shelby were even in the same Kdgn class. The two girls got along well, and Shelby loved our climbing tower and swing set. Zach wasn't thrilled with the fact Kyle was a go-getter who did his homework the minute he arrived home, and I was thrilled with the additional funds in my pocket. Their mom was a CNA who would sometimes work late, and I had no issues feeding the kids dinner. For Halloween, all four kids ran around the neighborhood in costume: Sh was Princess Atta from Bug's Life, Sa was Queen Amidala from Star Wars, and the boys were dressed as Scream characters.
Next Month: Thanksgiving:)
