The Nanny Diary... Day #1

Some of you may have noticed that I've been MIA since Halloween. I've been super busy. Last week I was in Seattle for a Scrapbook Convention to relax and prepare for my newest "job." Yes, that's right... my new job for the next 10 days is Nanny!

I am in Utah for the next 10 days being a Nanny for my friends Dan and Christy's kids while they are on a cruise in the Caribbean. I am watching 5 kids under the age of 7! Bryant is here to "help" me and Zac is at home. He was supposed to come too but he ended up with step throat and couldn't come.

So, today was my first day. The twins woke up at 7:oo a.m. The other 3 kids woke up shortly thereafter. I was a superb Nanny and made a great homemade breakfast of Cinnamon French Toast and eggs. By next weekend I'm sure I'll be giving them cereal...

Here's MacKenzie eating her Yummy breakfast.

We had lots of fun playing outside and going for a long long walk.

Bryant is loving his big brother role. He was actually over-protective. He absolutely went into panic mode when Cassie got this close to the end of the swingset.

The three older kids rode bikes and scooters for 2 hours this afternoon. They had never met prior to this trip... but they are the best of friends already.

Carson and Cassie were happy to go for a walk. They are super kids. Full of smiles and hugs.

But I won't kid you... there was plenty of this too. I just couldn't help but smile when the meltdowns started. Luckily all the meltdowns were short lived...

Please wish me luck for Saturday. We're going to attempt an outing. Dan and Christy told me that the twins are well-behaved if they are in a shopping cart or stroller. So... Target, Wal-Mart, Cabella's here we come.
