When my parents moved to Virginia, we were very careful not to take advantage of them by asking for lots of babysitting. We don't use sitters very often, but when we needed one we have a couple teenage girls we've hired. However, everything changed when Irina joined our family. It was a long time before we left Irina with anyone besides Darin or me. When we first committed to weekly counseling, the only sitter we trusted to understand Irina's behavior was family. We are very grateful that my mom is near enough and willing to come once a week to care for our crazy hooligans!
(And she has even missed a few bridge games in order to serve us.)

Every other week, she comes prepared with crafts to do with the kids. They love it!
Here are just a few of her creative ideas. The balloon man below was created by Aaron.

String art with paint seen below.
Gluing beans on tiles
Melting crayon wax on pre-drawn designs.
We are very grateful for her servant heart.
Now I just need to figure out what to do with all these projects. ;)
