Mr. Policeman

We had the enjoyement of babysitting our cousin, I.G. one evening. It was a night full of entertainment and laughing!.....

To start off, we made pizza (in case you were wondering, pizza is not the only thing we can make:))

A S.A.M. tradition: Black olives on the fingertips! :)

For dessert, Kate and I. G. made brownies!

(Isn't it such a precious picture?!)

"Don't you guys have any soap around here to wash your hands?!"

While waiting for the food to bake, we started playing with the blocks and Legos.

Meg so faithfully making the space ship.

Showing me how the "fwashing wights" (flashing lights) work for when the space ship takes off and lands.

Now, this is where everyone really started to laugh... dinner time. I. G. has been carrying around his "ticket book", which is a note pad that he uses to write out tickets and gives them to someone if he thinks they are breaking the law (breaking the law could be anything from walking too fast to eating your food the wrong way). So, during dinner (amongst many other things), I.G. wanted to give Daddy a ticket for taking bites that were too big.

I. G. goes to get the "ticket book".

At this point, people started getting upset because they thought that it was an un-lawful ticket. Here, I.G. trys to defend himself.

After a talk with the "Judge" (who was S.A.M.), everyone agreed that it was a lawful ticket.

He writes out the ticket.

Daddy signs the ticket.

Then, the "Officer" (I.G.) did something to "break the law", he had to be reminded to use his manners. So, Meg gets out her ticket book and starts writing out a ticket. At this point, it's "Officer I.G." who is getting upset now!

Telling him why he is getting a "ticket".

So, I.G. wanted to speak to the "Judge" to decide whether or not he should get a "ticket".

"But you didn't use your manners!" the witness testified.

The "Judge" and "Officer" having a discussion about whether or not he is guilty.

The "Officer" is looking guilty.

The "Judge" and "Officer" (as well as the wittnesses) finally agreed that I.G. would not get a ticket but a "warning" that the next time he did not use his manners he would get a "ticket".

Meg writes out the "warning".

Mumzie signs the "warning" as a witness.

And the "Officer" signs the "warning" stating that he agrees to this.

After all the comotion, we finally left the dinner table to do some more building.

Daddy and I.G.

Coming to pick up the "Officer"

As you can imagine, we had a very fun and amusing time.
