Day One!
so today is my first day in Crofton (past nanaimo btwn ladysmith and duncan) im here taking care of my niece Cheyenne (7) and my nephew Lukas (3) my sis, bro in law and mom went to the mayan rivera for a week and will be back next sunday...so until then, im mommy!!! hahaha.
i didnt get here till about 1pm today so it was really only a half day, but a half day filled with fun times and lessons learned!!
lesson one: i think im here to be "mommy" really im here to be the pack horse
>>> the kids and i went to the beach, Cheyenne road her bike and Lukas his scooter, which meant when it was time to go home, i was left to carry a scooter and push a bike all the way home!!
lesson two: dont wear a white skirt to the beach
>>> i had no trouble keeping it clean, but a certain little boy needed help off a rock, shoe made contact with my skirt, white skirt now very dirty!!
so those are the lessons learned so far...and im sure there will be MANY more!!! the kids go to bed about 7pm so that gives me quite a bit of free time, this will be weird for me to have so much free time, which also means more time to blog!!! keep checkin back to keep up with my adventures!!

Woo, yeah Breanne :D
Breanne... People think that the kids are the ones who learn... in reality kids teach us adults much more! I am sure that God will be using this time to teach you "Life Lesson's!"
Here are some Life Lessons that I learned from looking after kids:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and guinea pigs and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all -LOOK.
