Renaissance Festival

Am Wochenende war ich mit "meinen" beiden Au Pairs beim Renaissance Festival. Ich arbeite seit zwei Jahren nebenbei als Community Counselor bei einer Au Pair Agentur, was bedeutet, dass ich potenzielle Gastfamilien interviewe, mich einmal im Monat mit den Au Pairs treffe und bei Problemen helfe, was mir total Spass macht, da ich ja auch einmal Au Pair war.

Zur Zeit betreue ich zwei Familien und beide Au Pairs kommen aus Deutschland, was ich natuerlich super finde.

Fuer unser Treffen diesen Monat hatten wir beschlossen zum Renaissance Festival zu gehen, was hier einmal im Jahr fuer mehrere Wochenenden stattfindet. Es ist im Prinzip eine eigene kleine Stadt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert aufgebaut, alle Angestellten tragen Kostueme aus dieser Zeit und reden sogar so!

Wir haben uns ein mehrere Shows angeschaut, z.B. einen Messerschlucker und ein "Tournament" wo Ritter auf Pferden gegeneinander gekaempft haben, Turkey Legs gegessen und in den kleinen Geschaeften aus alten Zeiten geshoppt.

Man konnte dort ausserdem auf Elefanten reiten und so nah an die Elefanten ran, dass sie einem mit dem Ruessel die Hand geschuettelt haben, was ich total beeindruckend fand.

Es war ein schoener Tag!

Life is good!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse. Fox brought this home from schoo...
