Kids can do the funniest things

So returning to the nanny title isn't all that bad i suppose, although I am even more so convinced that i never want kids. With the exception of last summer, I have nannied for this family every summer since I was 13. There were 3 boys back then, and now its up to 5. And man is 5 boys a handful. The youngest is not quite 2 yet, but he has quite the personality. The boys have definately been keeping me busy this week. We made 2 trips to the zoo, a trip the the childrens museum and a trip to the park. Being the good nanny that I am, I managed to lose one at the children's musuem for a little bit...but i wasnt too worried, I knew he couldnt have gone too far away (it was a very busy day that day). The baby found his way into the street a few times. The middle three had quite the spills on their bikes. Was constantly called "mom" by the baby (let me tell ya, that is the weirdest thing ever). Burnt my arm on a pizza pan. Changed way too many expolded diapers. Laughed my head off at the baby saying "yo, yo" with hand motions. Ended up with food mess on my clothing just about every day from the baby. It really is a good thing this boys are more like family to me that a job. Overal it was a pretty good week though, and its nice to be around those boys again...
