Happy Halloween

Hope everyone has a spooktacular night. Nathan has a soccer game and I am working so we celebrated over the weekend with 4 Halloween events in 2 days! I was Sherlock Holmes and Nathan was Cameron from Ferris Bueller's day off

Come one come all...

This Thursday at 1pm, I am giving the public tour at the orange county museum of art. Come if you like conceptual art, come if you don't, just as long as you participate nicely in my tour you are welcome!

Adventures of the babysitter continue...

Nathan and I are all done babysitting 

overall it was pretty fun 

and crazy at the same time 

would we do it again yes 

for more than 4 days no

We find that since being home I am still singing 

Hurry, hurry drive the firetruck, ding ding ding ding ding 

and Nathan still thinks he hears the baby crying or one of the kids

lessons we have learned:

1. Travel as much as you can before having kids 

2. Sleep as much as you can before having kids 

3. If you don;t like cleaning wait till you have kids...you are constantly cleaning 

4. It takes forever to get ready in the morning with kids 

5. Why are strollers so complicated

Welcome to parenthood

We are almost done with babysitting. The parents come back tomorrow night. Here are a few more lessons in parenthood that we have learned.

#1: the baby is very opinionated. First he wants eggs for breakfast. Then it's top rammen.

#2: even on Saturday the baby will wake up at 6:30am (no sleep for parents)

#3: parents don't eat hot food. You are always getting something for someone.

#4: don't plan on going to the pool if it isn't heated, the kids won't want to stay long.

#5: Don't break the baby's breadstick in half, he wants a whole one and will throw a tantrum throwing the breadstick with sauce on the wall.

Lessons in Motherhood

Nathan and I are currently babysitting 6 kids. All boys. Let's just say I have been getting some lessons in motherhood.

Lesson 1: don't sweep the floor right before everyone gets home...it is just gonna get dirty... especially after dinner

Lesson 2: child locks are amazing...especially on the fridge

Lesson 3: food and a ball can solve any problem.

Lesson 4: the baby will throw his salad with dressing at his brothers

Lesson 5: parents don't sleep in

I am sure I will learn more lessons by Sunday.
