Twenty-second week

Hello! It's time again for a new blog! This week was about many smiles, excitements, doing new things and visit my favorite city.

Kids

This week I was really happy, because it SNOWED!!! Last weekend it already started snowing, but we didn't had the really good good snow yet. But on Tuesday we had really good snow!!! Me and the kids made a really big snowman! It was so much fun and it was a long time for me that I made a snowman. I wanted to make a really big snowman, but the kids kept saying: 'Nooo, Naomi that's to enough, I think we are good'. But I kept going and it ended up to be a really pretty snowman! We played a lot in the snow, we went sledding, made snow angels and we did a snowball fight.

Sometimes it was to cold to go outside or the snow wasn't fun anymore, so we came up with some things to do inside. Ainsley was out of nowhere all obsessed with boba (the drink) and she started to make her own 'made up' boba. It was really cute and she had a lot of fun doing it. She is in general really started with experimenting with food coloring or just making weird thing out of flower and water haha. We also danced a lot and we even did a mini workout together! This week I actually got some alone time with Emmett. It was so cute and we had a lot of fun! I survived different pillow fights, and got beaten up with several bord games.

Free time

Next to my au pair life I also have my personal life haha. And this week I was really excited and happy!! MY GYM FINALLY OPENED UP!!! I waited so long for this moment. It's a brand new gym. Tuesday it opened and of course I went that day! It was smaler then I expected, but still really pretty and there was everything you might need.

Because I signed in early I got a personal trainer for 2 times and a whole body scan thing. He asked me a lot of questions about my sport life (that wasn't really that good at the moment haha), goals and we ended up with a body scan. Now I know how fit I am haha. It's actually really cool to see how my whole body weight is and stuff. I’m satisfied with the results, and that for me not even doing that much exercise for the last months.

My plan is to go to the gym as much as I can. Just every moment that I can I want to go, of course there will be days that I can't go, but that's fine. This week I went 3 times. Every time I walked out the gym I was so so happy!! I really missed to just do something again! I feel amazing! I don't really have a goal in the gym. I just want to be happy and do something, because I hated the period that I couldn't do anything. And I know that if I’m moving again, my body will be fine haha. So I’m just gonna try some new things, try to feel comfortable and confident in the gym and know what I’m doing. :) Becoming a real fit girl.

Friends

Next to my really happy story about the gym I met with friends. Wednesday after work Kinga and me went to get diner together. It was really fun. We grabbed something to eat and drove to the Olney sportpark and parked there to eat our diner. We talked a lot and were planning our trip in May. :) Thursday I went for a walk with Alida before I had class. It was really cold, but nice to see her again. We also made plans for Friday! Because I think you know it already, haha Valerie and me were planning to go to a few stores again and just drive around. But this time Alida also came with us. Soooo, 2 Dutch and a German girl in one car... Haha that was a car ride with really bad German/Dutch apres ski music! We went to Kohl's, Walmart and Target, because Alida haven't been to a Walmart or Target yet so we had to show her that. :)

Weekend!

My favorite part of the week! The weekend! Saturday I went with Sharon and Valerie to DC! We hoped to see snow there, but we didn't. Every year when there is a lot of snow for the first time in DC, everybody comes to DC to join a snowball fight! But when we were there all the snow was already gone. We walked through downtown DC, had lunch at the outside seats at a restaurants. It was really nice that they and I really had tourist vibes when we were sitting there. We walked to the monuments and even sat down on the grass that's around the Washington monument. DC is really one of my favorite cities. <3

Sundayy was a really really fun day! It started early too. At 8 am I picked up Luna and Sharon (my Italian girls!). It was snowing when I drove away from home! I drove through a snowstorm! It was so beautiful and it made me so happy. This was actually my first time driving in the snow, but I did great and I thought it wasn't really that hard, I actually liked it! We went snow tubing! Haha that was the thing I wanted to tell you about. Snow tubing is really fun! It's like sledding, but with a tube, like fancy sledding. We were with the 5 of us. Amanda and Joe also came! It was so much fun and the weather was great! After the snowstorm it started to get sunny. After snow tubing we went to have lunch all together and then we all went home.

The Super Bowl is tonight! THE football game of the year! It was really cool to see how it all went and how big of a deal it was for Americans. We had wings for diner, I heard that that is the tradition during Super Bowl with all different snacks. :)
