Kevin and I picked up Lisbeth, Kamilla and Jack at the airport Tuesday night, I was very excited, and so were they! On the way home in the car I heard a lot about their trip to Denmark, but they were really tired because of the flight + jetlag.
Wednesday morning Kamilla woke me up at 6:40, and we started making pancakes, Jack quickly joined us in the kitchen. When the birthday boy got up, Kevin, the pancakes were ready and the table were set and the breakfast served. When Lisbeth and Kevin went to work, Kamilla, Jack and I started to talk and really get to know each other. We played a board game and then we went to the park. When we got back, the new coach arrived, so we carried it into the hallway, but from there it was stuck because of its size. Then we went for a walk in Brooklyn. Jack got a haircut, we went to an art shop, bought Broccoli and picked up the food-share (vegetables and fruits). After that we went back home and played a board game and just talked for a while before Kevin and Lisbeth got home at 8. Jack and Kamilla had a little dinner and then went straight to bed because of jetlag.
Thursday morning I got up at around 7 and I had breakfast with the family. Kevin and Lisbeth went to work at around 9 in the morning. In the morning Jack, Kamilla and I watched Spongebob Squarepants and then a movie called Duck Soup (1933) made by the Marx Brothers. After the movie we had lunch and then the three of us went to Manhattan, Rockerfeller Center, to go to the Lego Store. Jack bought a Marvel Helicopter. After the Lego Store we had a snack, sugary pretzels. Then we took the subway home to read in our books for a long time, until Lisbeth and Kevin got home.
After we had lunch I went to meet another au pair in the area called Ana, she's from Argentina. It was very nice meeting her and listen to her telling about her visit in Brooklyn. I was home at around 10, so I slowly began to go to bed.
Friday morning I slept until 8:30. I had breakfast with Kevin and Kamilla until Kevin went to work. Kamilla, Jack and I then talked for a while, watched a bit of TV, and read in our books before going to the waterpark at Pier 6 in Brooklyn. It was quite a long walk, but we took a break at Lisbeth's office where I met all her colleagues and Kamilla and Jack was having fun with a dog that lived at the office. After the visit at Lisbeth's office we went to a book store across the road. Then we walked to our destination. The waterpark. It was a very nice place and I think that both Kamilla and Jack loved it. After the waterpark we went to buy an icecream and then we walked home. When we got home we split up, both Kamilla and Jack read in their books, Kamilla even finished the book she's been reading for a while! :)
At 7 we had dinner, Salmon, broccoli and pasta, which was yummy, the salmon came from Ikea which I found funny.
The rest of the evening we just relaxed and had a good time before going to bed.
Saturday morning I woke up and a couple of minutes later the whole Delaney/Shepherd family was on their way to Ikea. I stayed at home. I had a couple of hours to myself, I skype'd with some friends and family. When they got back I helped a bit with organizing the rooms, especially my own room and the kitchen. For the rest of the weekend we made progress setting up my room and organizing the rest of the house.
