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!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
