Life is short...

Yesterday, I had a 10 hour day with H (age 5) and L (age 2). I watch them 10 hours a day, twice a week (Thursday and Friday). Fridays are our special day, because there is no school for H (preschool, that is) but it is not the weekend. So we decided to spend our day:
-Making peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes (which burnt...yes, every, single, one of them)
-Making cookie dough bars (which were raw because they were so thick, they refused to bake)
-We made a giant couch slide (if you haven't done this with your nanny kids, it is a must!)
-Took a break from our couch slide to run through the sprinklers, in our pajamas
-Ate popcorn...on our couch slide.
-Made the girls favorite mac&cheese, because it is nearly fool-proof, and we'd had enough cooking fails for the day
-We topped it all off with a nice long nap, followed by making brownies (for which we forgot to add the flour)

Life is short, so in the midst of surviving each day, don't forget to live. Run through the sprinklers in your pajamas, make the brownies, and let the kids take the couch apart. Make amazing memories, just don't skip nap-time. It is very important. ;)

Happy Saturday! -Nanny B
