My week in pictures #22

In 'my week in pictures' I will let you have a look into my life on a weekly basis. Most of these pictures will be taken with my phone, because I bring that everywhere. Because I neglected my blog a little bit last week, this post will be extra long. Enjoy!

Monday 31 March

It started out as a good day, and we decided to do a play date at Gabi's house. Just when we got there it started to rain, the problem was it didn't stop. What was supposed to be a 2 hour play date, turned into more like 7 hours. Because we were supposed to be home for lunch and naptime, I didn't bring anything, not even enough diapers. When we where ready to leave and started carrying the stroller down the stairs, it started to rain more, so we quickly went back inside. We ended up having lunch there and then the tricky part, how are the babies going to have their naps..? In the end we surrounded Gabi's bed with pillows and I lay down with them until they fell a sleep. It worked and they actually slept for a full two hours, while Gabi and I watched a movie downstairs. At 5pm it was finally dry and we could go home, just in time to catch my host dad. Isn't it super cute how they are sleeping?!

 

Tuesday 1 April

My host dad went on a business trip, which meant I had to start at 8am the whole weak, instead of 9.30am. I started my day with oatmeal, topped with apple and cinnamon. The weather wasn't very good today, so we didn't do very much. In the evening I had my class, but nothing really interesting happened. I was craving for something Dutch, so I made a sandwich with 'Hagelslag', but now I'm out :( I was still hungry so I made these oatmeal cookies and they where pretty good, except they kind of fell apart. Last night Aidan threw up on his Donkey, his stuffed animal he always sleeps with, see first picture of this post, so I put it in the washing machine. Which was not the best idea, because it didn't survive... I felt so bad!

Wednesday 2 April

So the first thing I did the next morning, was taking the babies to Target to get Aidan a new stuffed animal. I wanted him to pick it out himself, because he is pretty picky these days and I wanted to be sure he would like it. They wasn't that much choice and the first thing I picked out was a brown teddy bear. He did not like it, pushed it away while yelling no... Next was a tiger with the same reaction and then a puppy that he didn't want either. Then he called out 'bear, bear!', so I gave him the brown teddy bear I gave him before but he kept saying no and pointing to the pink bear. When I gave it to him he hugged, while calling out 'pink bear, pink bear!' and he didn't want to let it go. So now he is dragging around a pink bear almost as big as himself everywhere haha. But it worked, he went for his nap with the bear and he didn't really ask about the donkey anymore.

Thursday 3 April

Another day where there didn't happen much. The babies usually go to a class at the library in the morning, but I completely forgot and the weather wasn't very nice, so we stayed in all day. In the evening I had my class again, and that was about it for Thursday.

Friday 4 April

Today we went to the Academy of Sciences with Gabi and Max. As you can see they really loved the turtle ;). We usually go there when the weather isn't that good or if we don't want to run after them all day. There is a special room there for children up to 5, where they can play and run around. It isn't very big so you can basically always see them and they are used to it now, and now how to get up and off things, which makes it the perfect place for us. Other than that it was a pretty boring Friday, I felt a bit sick so I went to bed early...

Saturday 5 April

I was still feeling sick, so I spend the whole day in bed sleeping and watching Youtube videos. Not the most attractive look haha.

Sunday 6 April

I didn't do much during the day, but met Sandra in the evening for dinner. Later Gabi joined us with some of her friends, and afterwards we went to a bar. 

Normal life in San Francisco haha

Monday 7 April

I had a normal day of working, and it was crazy hot! I took the babies to the park and Vivan completly freaked out because of the heat. Eventually I just let him play with his water cup without the lid on and he was fine. As soon as we got home I changed them into a t-shirt and the rest of the day they played outside on the porch. In the evening I first went to buy a new bikini and I didn't want to go to the gym, in the end I changed my mind and forced myself to go anyway, I had the best workout in weeks! On the way there I saw this guy balancing on a rope, I see it pretty often here but never took a picture, so I wanted to share it with you guys. At the gym I first ran for 28 minutes, without walking and I made it! Then I did my leg day with 45lbs weights, which is the heaviest I ever did That's how I got all sweaty haha, my stomic sweat is a heart shape! And I even begin to develop a thigh gap, which was never my intention...

Tuesday 8 April

A normal work day again, the weather wasn't nice, its really crazy here, one day its super hot the next day it is cold again... Anyway, I stayed in with the babies and for lunch I made myself a green smoothie, that even Aidan liked, and I had an omelet and sweet potato fries. In the evening I first had class, which ended early and I went running when I got home. Another good workout day, because I ran my fastest 1K and managed to run the whole 28 minutes without walking. Which is harder to do outside, than in the gym. I think it just depends how you look at it, I find the gym is harder mentally and outside is harder physically.

 

Wednesday 9 April

I picked up my driver handbook at the DMV. I want to get my license here before I go home, because it is so much cheaper. I know I won't be able to drive back home, but I can use this license in Australia, which is more important anyway ;)

Thursday 10 April

We where pretty much out of food at the house, so I went and got some sushi for lunch. In the evening I had my class, which finished earlier, and that was about it..

Friday 11 April

Another boring Friday, I went to the Academy with the babies again and stayed in in the evening. Sounds pretty boring but I'm trying to safe money haha.

Saturday 12 April

I was babysitting from 9am-3pm, afterwards I felt like shopping, so walked around on Haight Street for a bit. Then I decided to go to Target, because I saw some awesome pants when I went bikini shopping there earlier this week. So I went there and off course bought to much, 2 dresses, a pair of shorts, the awesome pants and some shoes... Oops, so much for saving money... In the evening I was working and after the babies went to bed I put on a nice face mask and watched tv.

The most awesome pants in the world! Not the best pic though..

 

FOTD

And this where my eyes today, decided to try something a little bit different, but not too extreme. What do you think?

Sunday 13 April

I was meeting Sandra and Gabi for lunch around 2, I didn't eat anything all day, because there still was no food.. so I was starving. We went to a little Italian place and it was pretty good, then we walked around a little bit and went to get ice cream at 'the Ice cream Bar', if your ever in SF go there, its amazing. They have really good organic and vegan ice cream. Off course I was wearing my awesome new pants, and I felt a little creative doing my make up today ;)

How was your week, did you do anything special?
