While I usually wear my nanny hat strictly Monday through Friday, I had all 3 charges non-stop Friday through Sunday this past weekend as their parents were away on business. My parents decided that it would be a PERFECT time to visit from Michigan...to help out with the kids so I wouldn't go insane! Secretly, I believe they only come visit to see their beloved grandson, Chopper, my Boston Terrier. However, I could NOT have survived the weekend without them. Especially Friday night when Fancy was WIDE-AWAKE from 1am to 4am because of a bad dream involving the "bird" that she and my mom had created during craft time. I'll admit, the thing is slightly terrifying, but she wanted it displayed in her room only later demanding in the wee hours of the morning, "I want that bird outta my room. Now." Despite the lack of sleep, we shared many laughs and managed to have a lot of fun with this crazy crew! I was left wondering how single parents do all this on their own day after day after day.
Thanks Mom and Dad!
