Meteor Shower and Moonrise

And now, some more about babysitting...

Hanging contests!  I won the hanging-by-the-knees contest! Sav won against all the boys!

JD, Pax, Sav, Will

Sweet little JD

 And bike rides!

And sponge dinosaur growing capsules!

Ah, such fascination for the kiddies and Ah, such sweet respite from noise for the babysitter

Until...balloon sword fighting!

 And I taught Savannah how to make balloon dogs!  She made the tail of hers poofy at the end like a poodle!

And some cool news:  I SAW TWO METEORS!  They were huge and bright!  It was sooo cool!  Taylor and I were walking behind my house Sunday night by the ditch.  We had sat down on a wooden bridge, he was playing the yukelele, we looked up and WOAH!  Super awesome.
We also saw a cool moon rise the next night on our walk.

Over the mountains!

Halloween day, Mom and I went around getting stuff to give to some friends and people at the hospital in Murray.  My Mom is basically Mother Theresa.  I had to restrain her from giving them the shirt off her back. Nudity at a hospital it not looked on kindly, my dear Momma-san Theresa.

Outside the hospital with our bags of goods

Halloween night Taylor and I went to a U of U Institute dance party!

I think this picture is great, however, Momma-san Theresa took it and therefore it is also blurry

The nurse and the surgeon!

I Will Wait for You

Isn't that such a great song?  It's been stuck in my head all week, except for the moments when Taylor is serenading me, then I'm just thinking about his songs.

I got a job!  Med/Surg (dream job for becoming a Hospice nurse)!  Here's all my supplies laid out for my interview.

And on the day of my interview it snowed! Cray cray!

And check out these awesome pumpkins Taylor and I made of each other.  I guess you can tell Taylor draws lots of cartoons....and I don't usually draw anything.

 And during babysitting........

Will colored his hands black and then......

Proceeded to act like a monster and attack Paxton

Later that day we had races down the hill (Will, JD, Pax)

Who will win???

And Saturday brought on a busy day of crafting with my Mom

And picnic eating

Taylor even brought a table cloth and candles!

And look at this wonderful tomato basil soup he made!

And it all happened in a nice little garden area

 Later that evening I played tons of board games with some teenagers I babysit occasionally

Pirateology!  How to be a real pirate!

And then my Mom and I watched old family videos.  This is a video of some song I had composed when I was 13 and I no longer remember it!  But it sounded so cool!

And this whole past week there's been lots of mother-daughter walks around the neighborhood

 Tree and mountain view on our walks

And some snuggling with this warm monkey that smells like lavender

Also, look at this nice night guard I got so I stop clenching my teeth

Great pic right?

And lots of praying for the New Yorkers, especially my Dad and aunt and cousin.

This time I did not get wet

Making pie, making bread

Eating Sushi with new people

Rainbow sushi!

Gardner Village

There's a cat in my skirt!

Eating fudge, finding flamingos, looking at lights

Walking around the U in Halloween garb

And of course, new dark green pants!

Making a Thai Cucumber Salad for a Thai dinner with Provo friends and one Ute friend....oh Taylor

Eating an apple and accidentally biting it into the shape of a star

Babysitting adventures of the glow in the dark kind....

 ...And the running over a water balloon on your bike or skateboard kind

Will running over his green water balloon

After JD ran over his pink water balloon and made a hole, he picked it up.....

And then began to chase me around trying to get me wet after I took this picture.  Haha!  But luckily my legs are longer than his, therefore I did not get wet this time...until the next time J-Dizzle....

Taylor made this lovely, healthy breakfast

Whole wheat pancakes with apples on top, scrambled eggs and yellow pepper

 And the most important part of breakfast.......DESSERT!

Rainbow cupcake!!  But yeah, Taylor's mom made the cool cupcakes.  He's not so good with the baking treats if you remember the last blog

Plays, parks, pants that are wet

This is the finished paper swan habitat Sav and I made.

Lilly pads and fishes

Sav's 3D nest

Also, here's a pic of me picking up the kiddos from school the past week.  They all had fun racing to my car and telling me about their day at school--usually all 4 at the same time--making it difficult to discern either of them.

The kids had fun acting out their play they made up.  It's a story about me being a babysitter and my 2 goals in life are:  a) becoming an awesome babysitter for triplets boys and their older sister and b) becoming a nurse.  Haha, how did they know???

There was also some water balloon jumping on the tramp...hence me being soaked.  So yes, I can control my bladder

And of course face painting

Will... Go Jazz!

Over the weekend I tried my hand at making vegan cupcakes with my friend Taylor--who by the way, totally loved wearing a girly apron

And Savannah loved the end result!  Poor girl can't have dairy or eggs so it was her first time having cupcakes for a while!

There might have been some batter on his face after he got batter on me....I don't get mad, I get even

Savannah!!

 Sunday came round and I went to church to visit some new wardies

On Monday I played at the park with the kiddos

I had to get a filling replaced by the dentist so I spent today with half my face numb.

Goodbye pirate silver filling!

I also got a cyst on my eyelid removed.

The removal scared me so badly because it was near my eyes with a needle and scissors

This is a bad before pic since you can't see it...yes this pic should be before the other one

All gone but swollen the rest of the day

My Mom and I have been enjoying going on morning walks together in the neighborhood and saw a rainbow!

 Mom and I also made a Dutch apple pie that cooks in a brown paper bag....weird but yummy

And hey!  Look who got her Utah nursing license???
