Sniffle, Sniffle

The weekend is almost here again and I'm finally just writing about last weekend! This "balance" thing really isn't working out for me....it has been more of a balancing act really! ha ha

Last weekend I was able to enjoy life as a "mommy" or should I say nanny! I spent almost 72 hours straight with my nanny kids!! It was loads of fun, but super exhausting...especially since I got sick :( Jaden was sick already on Friday and Zoe has been fighting the sniffles herself. So between playing non-stop with the kids and crawling into bed with Zoe when she would wake up in the wee hours of the morning for no apparent reason, I inevitably ended up with a terrible cold myself. However, I think I have already improved quite a bit! But it has been seeming to suck the energy out of me this week! Anyway, here are some fun photos to sum up the weekend :)



Zoe putting the cookies on the tray....she had them all lined up on the edge in a straight row...it was so cute! ha ha



Zoe after I showed her how to put the cookies on the tray :)



Sprinkle, sprinkle



Are they done yet????



Playing "The Princess Game" AKA Pretty, Pretty Princess



The Princesses :) Zoe won the game of course



And finally, every princess needs her fingernails painted :)

At this point, my camera battery died :( Which means I didn't get any pictures of Zoe collecting leaves for her leaf rubbing pictures, or painting, or playing "movie theatre" (Zoe's favorite activity of the weekend which I improvised after I got sick ha ha). And Jaden really was present all weekend! He is just much less photogenic sometimes ha ha. Harder to photograph him basically. Although he did help eat the cookies, collect the leaves, paint pictures, and played "movie theatre" with us :)

All in all it was a fuuuunnnn weekend! Love the kids and it was weird to leave them!! Now....back to school for me. I feel like all i do is read, read, read, and then read some more! At least it is all fairly interesting. And I like to read. I don't think I have ever read this much in my entire life though! ha ha Well, I guess it's time that I did then!

I was supposed to be heading up to northern Wisconsin this weekend with my dad and brother, but after getting sick (and behind on homework from nannying all last weekend), I don't think that will be happening. I will just have to enjoy the fall colors right here in good ole' St. Paul! It just isn't the same though.... Well...back to reading and then time for bed for me! Gotta make Chandelle a healthy girl :)
