Coralls and fajitas

Okay. So today was a handful (that should be my opening line).

Starting off, I don't think I will be able to get used to getting up as early as 7AM after having had a job where I don't start working until 5PM and get off at midnight. Oh well. Whereas yesterday morning was a rather noisy affair, this morning went smooth. Even smooth enough for me to get som serious ironing done and then we, the youngest boy and I, headed off to the Natural History Museum. We went to the corall exhibition which was greatly appreciated and we even stopped by the mammoths and took a look at some seriosuly large birds.

During the first week I have been spending the entire days at the house, simply because the youngest boy doesn't start school until next week. We have been scheduling playdates and activities and today we even got started on making some chrystals from one of the chemical sets that he has. So whereas his older brother and sister are back at school, he still has a week left of summer vacation. None of them seem too bothered with it since the older ones are too keen on getting back to school to learn new things and meet up with their friends - which I can understand.

So after falling asleep on the tube (both of us), Mr. Youngster and I got back home and started off with dinner, fajitas. Something I'd never expect was that I'd really enjoy cooking. But I am having a blast in the kitchen and the food seems to go down really well with the kids. I'm looking forward to Friday cause then it is time for the Swedish meat-balls. Eventhough they've had them already with their previous Swedish au pairs, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve!

All in all, I am feeling super comfortable with the family and it already feels as if though I am a part of their house and family, as if though I've always been there. Although I do miss my family back home, this is without a doubt the best family I could be at.

Alrighty, signing off - tomorrow is the first driving session, without another adult that knows their way around in the car. If you see a blue Ford randomly drivning around without any apparent goal or purpose - that is me.
