Am I the sole survivor?
I have to say that I did outwit most of them, I even managed to outplay them(since I managed not to get sick!) And since I am here and they are not I outlasted them too.(this is also my blog so I win no matter what)
I have to say that there were many moments that my winning was in doubt. We had lots of fun. I was even managing to get some sleep.
Here are some of the things we did after our trip to NYC.

Many Many Many hours in the Van SINGING!
Stayed up late making t shirts
and of course taking ballet
character and hip hop!
Many people ask me why I do it. I always answer the same way! It is fun! I love making other people happy and helping people. It is not even that hard of a job. The first few days are while the kids are learning to adjust and adapt to the schedule. This year the adjustment took a bit longer due to the lack of understanding of the word CHAPERONE.
After 2 of the older children age 40+ and 30 left things went a lot smoother. Fiona the person who came along to film the trip was a great help and I enjoyed having her around. We laughed a lot! She left the 2nd week and went to Barbara's and I was flying solo. I have to say that is best for me. Fiona was a great help but we would stay up late talking and being silly so I was not getting much rest. The kids were very good and following the routine. We would get up in the morning and get ready and then everyone would eat breakfast then pack their lunches and then clean up and we would leave. This only took us about an hour and 15 minutes! We then would get in the van and drive to class. We would sing and get very goofy in the van.
The time at the studio was spent sending them into class napping while they were in class and then feeding them lunch then shipping them back into class and I try to power nap or chill. Then we have to get dinner ready. We fed them at the studio every night. It went really really well. Annick (Barbara's chef) made the dinners and Mark (Barb's Hubby) would deliver them to us at the studio.
I really was amazing how we did it. They are all home safe and sound. I hope they are not telling too many stories of my silly acts!
Thank you all for a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious time!
