Winter is slowly but surely creeping up onto us and the the days are getting shorter and shorter.
I am NOT a fan of Winter but I do like the pretty snow, CHRISTMAS, and the fun activities of Winter.
The only problem with nannying this time of the year is the kiddos get "cabin fever" like crazy so I have to get really creative:) I already have a few ideas in store so hopefully it will be a fun one this year!
I cannot believe Thanksgiving is next week already! Then it will be Christmas and 2012 already...holy cow!
Before I get too ahead of myself I'm going to focus on Thanksgiving first;)
The boys have a few extra days off next week so we're going to do all kinds of fun "Turkey Day crafts" and baking. It will be messy and fun!

| Happy Turkey Day, ya'll! |
Speaking of the boys...they are SUCH boys now...
full of dirtiness, stinkness, and all "boy like" things. BUT they are adorable as always:)
Right now they have figured out all about "toots and burbs" (or as Owen calls them, "My Man Burbs") and Miles is in the process of potty training *sigh* (just when we have Owen all good in that situation) It's never ending!
 |
| Jusssst Kidding;) |
 |
| Ohhh the lovely stage of potty training! |
They also ask a MILLION questions a day and don't quite understand the meaning of a personal "bubble" yet so they are right in your face 24/7. Good thing I adore them...right?! :)
They ask questions non-stop and it's enough to make a sane person go quackers if you know what I mean...
"WHY WHY WHY is the sky bluuueee? WHY do you drive a car? WHY do I have to eat lunch? WHY WHY WHY?!" Ahhhhh...I don't know man, I just don't know! haha:) I started telling them "because God made it that way or because I said so" as my answer because I am running out of answers. That doesn't make me too bad of a nanny, does it? I can talk forever but I think I have officially been "beat" in that department. Owen and Miles: 100 Mandi: 0
They are also "balls to walls" 24/7 as well.
I'm not kidding I think somebody falls, gets a "boo boo", or ends up in tears at least twice a day. They just go, go, go to the extreme until something happens. Definitely keeps me on my toes and makes me super nervous all the time. Sometimes I'm afraid people will think I beat them due to all their "boo boo's" haha! Such boys! They will definitely be playing sports in the near future I think.
I'm so proud of them but I think they're even prouder!
Right now they are SO proud of all their accomplishments...big or small. It's really sweet.
I hear the phrase "Look what I can do" (Mad TV anybody?) and "watch this" all the time!
Everything from taking a bite outta their food to using the potty and riding their bikes...these boys are super proud:)
They also say the funniest things and constantly have me giggling!
Unfortunately this past weekend my friend's car got broken into and they stole all my stuff and broke my phone! Yes, so I'm phone-less for awhile and it's not fun. I can't believe it and it was a terrible situation. Long story short though...when trying to explain to Owen why my phone is broken he responds, "Well now that's not your every day pony ride now is it?" haha! Too funny:)
However, not soo funny about my poor lil' phone...
 |
| Ahh my phone got a "boo boo" :( |
In the meantime, Miles is turning into my lil' gangsta baby and I LOVE it!
He will sing/rap in the car and it's so funny! He loves singing that Chris Brown song "Look at me now"...he will say "Look at me now...look at me now...I gettin' paaaaaaaypeeeeer!" Definitely a proud moment for me in nanny hood;) haha oh man.
 |
| Hahaha! Jussst kidding! He's not THAT gangsta;) |
I asked the boys the other day if they had girlfriends...
Owen replies, "Yeah I do!"
So I asked him what her name was and he said "Silvia". Then I asked him why he likes Silvia and he replies,
"Because she's pretty cute...and...REALLY Baaaad!" Oh boy we're in for a couple of interesting years if he's already interested in the "bad girls" haha!
Miles bashfully told me his girlfriend is "Gracie" (except it came out more like "Gwacieee") SO CUTE!
I'm glad my lil' kiddos are such stud muffins at such a young age;)
Well that's all I have for now...
I have to go get the boys ready for school. It's Wednesday so we're halfway through the week...yay!
Until next time here is a picture for you to enjoy and a video too!
(keep in mind no animals were harmed in the making of the video...)
Calvin James LOVES helping me babysit;) haha!

We wish you all a very safe and Happy Turkey Day!
Peace and Love!
