Labor Day!

So most people don't even know what Labor Day is or why we have the day off or rather why the majority of us have the day off. I am one of those people. 

Here is what dol.gov (United States department of labor) says about the matter: "...is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country." 

So basically it means you get a day off for the labor you have done all year long...I also read somewhere else that it has to do with the rail road strike of 1894. There you go, you learned something new today didn't ya? 

I look forward to this day and I very much enjoy my day off and celebrate the contributions I've made to the American work force...not really. I'll tell you the real reason I'm excited this year....THATS THE LAST DAY THE POOL IS OPEN!!!!!! Thank the Labor Day gods!! 

I'm so so over the pool!! And to be honest I love the pool and I very much like taking the kids but I am so over carrying and lugging 28373 bags! I have to carry the bags, the mini coloor, the floaties AND hold the baby because I would hate for her to be hit by a car in the parking lot. So yes! I'm over it! I am so happy the pools are closing and I don't have to think about it till next summer! I party hate it because we have been going fairly often, almost every day, since the house went on the market and it's the closes place where I can go while there's an inspector/realtor/photographor or a showing here.

 I can't wait till next summer when they (bosses) will be in the new house that has, fortunately, a pool in the backyard! So thankfully next year I can lather them in sunscreen and throw them outside to swim and I can sit in the shade drinking a sprite. 

Enjoy your day off on Monday fellow nannies!! Go to a BBQ and drink some watermelon adult drinks and let your hair down! Lord knows we need it! Stay safe! 

Adios! 

New York

So, obviously I have failed miserably in undating but my bosses are moving and so the past 2 weeks have been non stop activity which includes lots of missed naps which has been oodles of fun, and they haven't even moved yet.

Anyone here we go...so my best friend and I were in NY for 8 days and I seriously did not want to come back. So here is just picture vomit lol 

Our first night there we hop on a tour bus which was a great idea since it gave us a sence of where things are...which honestly didn't really help me, it just made me confused lol and I'm the one out of the two who's best with directions.

Cake boss!  We had a cupcake here and I gotta say, it was very disappointing. And the wait was ridiculous! 

The is one of the highlights of the trip, we stayed across the street from where Neil Patrick Harris does his play...so we were able to see him a couple of times...it was awesome!

We visited Chinatown, Little Itally (where we had the best chicken Alfredo and the best olive oil spread I've ever had!!!) 

We took a boat tour to the Statue of Liberty, we didn't get off at the island, most people we talked too recommended against it. It was quite a magnificent sight. 

We did the Empire State Building which I will honestly suggest you skip this, the views aren't great at all, top of the rock has much much much better views. Also the line for Empire State was incredibly long...like 3 hours. So these pictures are from top of the rock and Empire State Building. 

We also visited the watchtower bibile enducation center. 

We saw Aladdin one night, we saw the Lego exhibition, the art of the brick, which is amazing! It's absolutely brilliant. We also saw the avengers exhibit, which the 10 year old boy in me was freaking out!! It was so cool!! 

We visited the 9/11 tribute musuem. Tears where shed since the beginning. This is a must see, you can not skip this if your in NY. It was of course an emotional roller coster. For the most part you can't take pictures but you don't really need them, the videos and pictures will forever be burned in you mind. 

We visited the Met and Moma, these pictures are from Moma. Starry night is my favorite painting of all time and I was thrilled to have seen it in real life! 

We of course visited Central Park. 

We also took a 3 hour subway ride to Coney Island, we took the right subway except it was going the wrong way...

We of course ate a ton!! We only had 2 hotdogs and 1 pizza slice where we where there and we had no chain restaurants, although we did buy French fries at mcdonalds because we used their bathroom. I am very much looking forward for my next NY adventure! We have left much undiscovered! 

Much love! Adios! 

P.S-I didn't proof read this so sorry for all the spelling errors. 

Well....

Well....I've obviously have failed miserably at updating this blog, not like I have readers but still for my own mental healthiness. 

So I haven't updated not because I don't want to or don't have things to say or rant about but because I don't have time. Which is odd because I don't have a boyfriend, husband nor kids but I do have a busy active live in church but still you would think I would have a little more free time yet I don't. I think I just used a run on sentence, oops!

So I left to New York last week and came back yesterday and the girls where super excited to see me, especially the baby. They left to Colorado the same day I did so it all worked it, I didn't have to find a replacement while I was gone. 

So bacically I want to apologized for not updated to my maybe one reader out there. I promise to update this week with pictures of my trip and maybe some funny stories I wrote down about the girls. I leave you with this wonderful picture of Central Park. 

Side note- I know I started this blog to talk about my adventures as a nanny but I realized I might use this space to talk about my daily non nanny life, to rant about things or to just talk about boring things like what I had for dinner or what books I'm reading. Maybe I should rename this blog....probably not, nanny life has been my life for the past 8 years...who knows...
