Au Cirque!

Ah les vacance! Finally a break from school so it's time to relax for a while. WRONG! Just because the kids don't have school, doesn't mean the parents don't have work. This sounds like a job for....you guessed it, the nanny. This entire week, I had the kiddos from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM all this week! Not only that, but to keep all of us from going stir crazy, Gilles enrolled the kids in a week long circus camp. FUN!! Except, with no car, I have to walk them there and back, twice a day. My schedule you ask? Coming right up:

9:30- Walk a mile to cirque
10:00- Jog a mile back
10:15-11:45-Take a nap
11:45: Jog a mile to cirque
12:00: Walk a mile back home
12:00-1:45: Prepare and eat lunch
1:45: Walk back to cirque
2:00: Jog back home
2:15-3:45: Take another nap
3:45: Jog a mile to cirque
4:00: Walk a mile back
4:00-8:30: chill with the kids

SO, after making that trip 8 times a day (8 TIMES) I walked a total of 6.3 miles every day. Times that by 5 days a week that means I walked that route a total of 40 times. Needless to say, I AM SO TIRED!

Not only that, but I was a cool Au Paire, and thanks to Pinterest, I went out and bought some arts and crafts to keep the kids busy in the evenings. We painted boxes, suncatchers and little canvases. Also, they got some new glittery gels and some gel pins to do n'importe quoi avec. (Whatever they want with). I felt pretty awesome.

Now, tomorrow we part for an entire week of skiing! Aye aye aye aye aye....I am so freaked. I can't say that I enjoy skiing that much. I am so grateful to my lovely boyfriend for teaching me how to ski last year (otherwise I would probably be refusing to go right now) but I have to admit that skiing and I don't get a long. I don't like how fast the skis can get going and I haven't quite figured out how to stop. And it seems like this family are pretty good skiers, I hope I don't hold them back. But I am kind of eager to go for the experience. If nothing else, there will be hot chocolate and crepes!

As always, here are some pictures! Bon vacance!!
