nanny diaries

Revisiting some old Holga photos on my flickr today.

This is the first roll I got out of my holga (& last.. r.i.p.) & I really love these.

I miss being this boy's nanny & seeing him everyday even more!

But the good thing about being a nanny is you become apart of the family, & I still get to drive over & have dinner with them as much as I want & he has his mommy home full time with him now so its a win win situation.

Fall, oh Fall.

Friday was a fun day!

I had to work all day & my mom had my jeep but my boss let me borrow her car (2010 Honda accord crossroad! its AMAZING! Even if it looks like a space car!)

When I got there bright & early Kevin was already in his costume!

When I finally got him out of it we went & got food & pumpkins to carve!
This was his (& mine ;)) it was the first pumpkin I had ever carved, can you believe that?
It was quite fun! & Kevin loved it!
I'm now so ready for fall! (instead of my previous attitude of not wanting the cold weather to come). I'm ready to bake cookies with fall tastes, break out my boots & sweaters & the smell of Cinnamon & apples :)
Anyone have some good cookie recipes?

{sorry for the bad photo quality, I had to use my phone}

'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark, I see your face in every star

Yesterday I was having a horrible time of it.
I couldn't sleep,
finally got to sleep at 12pm & had to get up two hours later.
Used to I could run on two hours for days but when I woke up I felt overwhelmingly sick.
Insomnia was a major pain in the rump yesterday, needless to say.
I didn't get around to feeling well at all, all day.
Kevin was a little difficult.
Nothing I couldn't handle (he is a sweetheart no matter what)
But he just didn't seem to want to listen or obey but by the end of the day when I got off we were cuddled up watching hours of Scooby Doo.
I feel fortunate that Kevin loves Scooby Doo as much as I do.
Anyways,
by the time I got home I still was a little grumpy & I took sleeping pills & forced myself to go to sleep & decided to blog when I had a full night of sleep under my belt, so here I am!

goodness, I love this song, the lyrics, the video.
Especially the ending.
Love it!


Okay awesome news!
I was featured on Camilla's blog!
I sent her an 'When I Grow Up' list forever ago but it never got posted.
But she emailed me & asked me if I still wanted to play not to long ago & I was jumping for joy!
Check it out here!
& don't forgot to congratulate her, she is newly engaged!

Kevin's Birthday

For those of you that don't know,
I'm a nanny,
To this little cutie pie.
His name is Kevin & today he turns five.
I picked him up from school with donuts in the shape of footballs in hand..
He was pretty happy.
The only sad part about today is knowing that he is getting another year older & sooner or later he wont need me anymore!
I hope that time is much, much further in the future because I love my job :)
