WOW, WHAT A CRAZY MONTH!!!
My "baby" sister Brooklyn came to town so that she could have a summer job with all the traveling and sports camps she has attended. I had her watch my kids and the kids I usually nanny during the day. On week 3 of 4 we drove to Grand Junction, CO to meet up with our sister Nicole and her cute kids and piled into my mini van and drove to my parents house in Shawnee, Kansas. 26ish hours later (from Phoenix) we finally arrived! We had a wonderful trip in Kansas and enjoyed the family time we got to spend together. We celebrated Colton & Emma's 3rd birthdays a few weeks early and are so grateful for the gifts from extended family. We drove back to Phoenix and Brooklyn put in another hard week of watching kids. We did take her to the water park which was open late at night and left the kids with a babysitter. All in all I would say it was a very eventful job/vacation for her and I. While Brooklyn was watching my kids I was at our ASU rental home repainting walls, ceilings, baseboards, putting on new door hardware, and new kitchen appliance and updated kitchen pulls. It was SOOOO much work but looks really great now.
We have started a little tradition of taking Brooklyn to Olive Garden as her "going away" dinner or lunch. Below is a picture of me and her at Olive Garden the night before she left. The picture below that are picture Brooklyn took with our crappy digital cameras.... even though one of them is brand new and not cheap, we still have yet to find a point and shoot camera that does decent photos with low light indoors. I'm starting to think they don't make such a thing. ;)
