stop... scooter time!

The girls were given the gift of scooter!!!  Their cousin came to visit last week and he brought with him some very special scooters; unlike the 'razor' scooter, these you have to swivel your hips back and forth to move forward or back.  They are very cool! And a great leg/butt workout (yes, I tried one.  Are you surprised? No worries- I checked the weight limit first..)

Here are a few videos of them riding their scooters INSIDE.  Mom & Dad do not mind them doing this- in fact, they love it.  It is pretty awesome from a kid perspective... heck, its cool from mine too!  Riding scooters... INSIIIIDE?! as Addie would say "Weeee-haww!!"

They really like chasing me around in circles on their scooters- of course..  They even named this 'game' we play- where I pretend to panic in the middle of the hallway and not know which way to run.  I end up diving off into a random doorway or room nearby- they think it is hysterical. They've named it the 'Which way- woo-woo'

Enough chatter- here are the videos.  Enjoy!!

You know youre a nanny when #12844936

Having worked with kids for a while now, I have had the pleasure of sharing my finest moments with friends and family; finding food in my hair, hand prints on my favorite jeans, pulling a diaper out of my purse at a bar- etcetera.. etcetera.. etcetera..

Newest addition to "you know you're a nanny when..."

I had a half day of work.. so I planned out everything so I could have some QT at the gym- shower and all.  I was able to take my time, really get in a good workout and even take a shower!  Best thing- no one was trying to bust in to use to the bathroom!  well... minus the fact I was in the locker room and there were other women around- there were not any short friends barging into my shower stall.  Yay!

My brief moment of not having my life consumed by children was taken away by this...

A nice MINI pair of yoga pants.  Looks like in my planning (while folding laundry, making lunch, being "rubber glove monster", gathering/ helping with homework, packing for karate, breaking up fights...) I somehow swapped out my yoga stretch pants for A or M's pants.

Nice try, Hales... niiiiice try.
