I have been very pleased with this arrangement, since I could get up at around 9 or 10, and then have my breakfast followed by either a walk to the park to play basketball or a run to the gym to work out, or both.
Then at 3pm I've picked up Kamilla from school and at around 4 Jack's coming home by the bus.
When he arrives the general schedule is that we all have a snack, and then their homeworks has to be done, and then at around 6 we'll have dinner.
Meanwhile I've started to talk a lot to the English au pair, and we've met a French au pair, which was really nice aswell. This Saturday I was at the English au pair's house for a barbeque (apparently with the entire family of her host family, we were about 45 people!) so that was very nice and entertaining.
So in conclusion. I am still very thrilled to be here, I enjoy it more than ever before, because I actually begins to have some friends I can see, I even met with Rikke from my highschool in New York (She's becoming an au pair in Boston) which was really nice. Also the basketball is going really great, I begin to recognize people on the streets whom I've played with :-)
I just my first NBA preseason tickets ordered, so I can't wait for October 18th to come, so I can go see Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics!
Basketball, fitness, taking care of the kids, friends and chores all takes ,up time. I am very busy here, but I love being here more than ever! I've started to see the English au pair called Millie a lot, she's really funny to talk to and I love having such a good friend here even tho we've only known each other for a short timeperiode.
I am also beginning to get into the routine of the daily life in Brooklyn with this family, they are all treating me very nice. And the kids seem to enjoy the time we spend together very much, yesterday we went to the Central Park Zoo (pictures will come shortly), where we saw lots of interesting animals and a 4D movie about the arctic wildlife. Yesterday after the zoo, I found out that I'm not very flexible by playing a game of Twister with Kamilla. I suffered a humiliating defeat.
Jack and Kamilla both seem very popular, I've already met so many of their friends, it's very hard to keep track of all their names. A few days ago Jack had three friends over for snack after school and then they went to the park, it was great to see how much fun they have together even tho they aren't in the same school anymore after they changed from elementary school to middle-school.
Last week I went up at 5 am on Tuesday to go play basketball with some of Kevin's old colleagues. It was very fun, but quite hard for me to play that early in the morning, my body wouldn't do what my mind asked it to, but the longer time I played the better. Besides that I've been playing basketball daily in the park in the evening + going to the fitness 3 - 5 times a week, so all in all I get enough exercise.
