Busy time of year!


With School starting tomorrow for my kido's, we have been so busy! For those of you who might not know, I am a nanny for two kids...well they aren't kids, Zack is 15 and Rene' will turn 12 on September 10th. Zack is going to be in the 10th grade and Rene' is starting 6th grade tomorrow! They are both in private school now, so we have so busy from getting uniforms to new student play dates to decorating her locker. WOW, did that take me back to high school or what! I so vividly remember always making sure that my locker was top notch with the best "signs" or how my mom would come decorate the outside of my locker for spirit day! So it was special to share this opportunity with Rene'. It was really kinda fun doing that since I love that kind of stuff anyways!

So to kick off school starting I wanted to take the kids to six flags, but they are now closed during the week, so I took them to the Georgia Aquarium instead. It was my second time going, but it was just as great as the first! It is so fascinating to just sit there and watch all the fish swim around! I was especially taken by the beluga whales! Just the way that they moved was amazing! While we were watching them, one of the whales got right in front of us and started flapping her tail fin while resting her head on a rock and the commentator said that she was napping! It was precious!

Here is a picture of Rene' and I in front of the fresh water tank! She is such a great girl! We have had a great summer!

So now that school is starting back, it's back to the bump and grind of things! More time for reading recipes and cooking fun meals, I hope! However, we are already trying to plan a day to six flags for fright fest! A promise is a promise!
