My g/f and I were babysitting a co-worker's 4 kids, ages 5, 3, 1 1/2, & 6 months, whom we have babysat before many times. Those 4 kids have a special place in our hearts, especially my g/f. I knew I was doing it that night and was going to incorporate the kid(s), just didn't know how and figured out on the fly. We were all playing, running around, and so on. The kids were having a blast with the Magna Doodles (etch-a-sketch type of things), so I decided to use that... While my g/f was in the other room, I took 1 Magna Doodle and wrote "I Love You!" with a heart on it. Then I took a 2nd and wrote "Will You Marry Me?" I called the 4 kids into my room and lined them up. I gave the 5-year old the first sign, lined up the 3yr & 6 month olds, and gave the 1.5-year old the Marry Me sign, holding it backwards hiding the message. I then paraded the 4 kids into the living room where my g/f was, slow enough so she could read the 1st sign. Then when we all had her attention, I had the last child turn around her sign, my g/f read it, and then I got down on a knee and asked her to marry me.
