Adventures of Trent and Jordan: Day Two

I don't have any crazy exciting or hilarious stories to tell you about day two, but no worries - it was a great day! 

For a year now I have been nannying at 5:30 in the morning every weekday. Though that sounds like a miserable job (and sometimes is) I often find must joy spending my mornings with 4 year old Brooke and 8 year old Brady. Problem is, this job didn't go away while Trent is here. Thankfully, my sweet friend Brittany has been sitting at my house at the crack of dawn while I go to work. Love that girl. 

This day in particular, Trent decided to sleep in so he woke up after I was already home. I am certain all mommy's out there feel this way, but there is just something special about greeting a child when they first awake and are still half asleep. Good morning hugs are the best! This morning was no different, and as it put a big smile on my face I remembered all the mornings many years ago me and Trent would snuggle on the couch when he woke up. He is getting old! 

Once again we went to work (so fun, I know!). 

We then went to the pool. If you didn't know it ... it was REALLY hot yesterday, forcing us to stay in the water the entire time. If you didn't know it.... kids turn in to monsters when entering a pool, forcing me to be continuously shoved under water for hours. Though a tiring trip, it was a lot of fun. My dear friend Ashley joined us and it was so great to catch up with her (during my breaks for air above water). 


For our night time activities we made a really awesome wooden race car. Trent said, "lets paint T and J on it so I can always remember I made it this week with you." So sweet! 

The nightly mail check also brought excitement! Trent got mail! Shout out to Ma and Papa who made a little boys night! I am not sure if it was the card or money in the card that put a smile on his face. Who am I kidding? It was the money. 



We then decided to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Trent had never seen it and I hadn't in years. First of all, the original movie is way better. Secondly, Johnny Deep is the creepiest thing ever. Thirdly, did you know? 

Did you know the seven children represent the seven deadly sins? Mind. Blown. 

1. Augustus Gloop: gluttony
2. Veruca Salt: Greed
3. Violet Beauregarde: Pride
4. Mike Teavee: Sloth
5. Grandpa Joe: envy
6. Charlie: lust (not sexual. He has a intense desire to have something.) 
7. Wonka: Wrath 

Cool, right? It was fun re-watching it while knowing this! 

That's about it. Here we come day three!
