The Nanny Diary... Day #5

Sorry for the delay in posting. We had a big storm and the electricity went out. Everything is back to normal now... except I have 3 scared kids who don't like thunder.

We started today by getting Bryant a haircut. Why do 5 year old boys want mohawks? I think they look kind of trashy so I won't let him get one... I'm too conservative for that. But, he did talk the hairdresser into using gel to get a mohawk look. I think he was trying to impress Delainie. Unfortunately for me, she kept telling Bryant he looked really cool.
After haircuts we went on a voyage out of town. I actually got up the nerve to take the kids outside of Lehi! We went to Boondocks Fun Center (we have one in Boise too). The kids were so well behaved. Aren't they cute walking into the center?
Bryant usually likes to play laser tag and ride the go-carts but we couldn't do that since we had the babies with us. So, instead we purchased an all day pass to the Kiddy Cove. The kids had a total blast. Even the babies climbed all the way to the stop of the play structure.
Carson was a little timid at first, but he decided he liked the independence that the Kiddy Cove gave him. He climbed for 4 hours!
Bryant really liked the bungee swing. He spent hours jumping and swinging on it.
I caught this picture of Delanie coming down the slide. The slide was extremely fast. I know this first hand because when it was time to leave the babies wouldn't come down from the top of the play structure. Bryant and Delanie tried unsuccessfully to get them down. Finally I had to resort to climbing up to get them. I almost broke my leg coming down the slide. It was so fast that I crashed into the net at the bottom. It was fun though... I wish the twins would have gotten stuck a few more times!

Can you come babysit me???? I am very well-behaved.... well, I am not really, but it looks like you are having so much fun. I have to say that I had to skip commenting on the vomit diaries...
