Pumpkin Carving

Each year my family and I get together at my Grandma's house to carve pumpkins. It's usually the Sunday before Halloween. This was the first year that we've had Alexis join in on the fun so I thought I would share this day with you! :)

Our cute little lady

We were over at my grandma's house the other day and my dad took Alexis outside to look at everyone through the window.

Well she didn't really get the concept of the window and tried to go through it to get me! It was so cute and this picture is so funny!

While on our lunch breaks Steph and I have done some silly and fun stuff.

We have attacked Alexis with teddy bears!

We took Alexis to the park.

And we dressed her up Green Bay Packers style!

(As a joke to daddy of course!)

The Last Straw

I quit my job today. It was a crazy situation that I no longer needed to be a part of. What didn't help was when I was leaving my former employer was telling me that I was lucky to have had the job I did and that I was lucky that I was paid as much as I was. FYI this lady had my sister call me every other day asking if I would work with her and she promised to pay me one wage when I was given the job and then gave me $0.70 less per hour later. I was no too happy if you can imagine. But her boss gave me a call later and offered me a better position with better pay at his other center. Woohoo! So it turned out well for me.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Greenbay Packers

My husband is a HUGE Dallas fan and my brother in law is a HUGE Greenbay fan. So naturally tonight's game was a big deal. So last night we decided to dress up for the occasion. Steph and I hung out we probably watched a whole 10 seconds of the game and the boys were downstairs the entire night. Here are the fun pictures. Oh and for those who don't know Dallas kicked tushy! 27 to 16! WooHoo!

My cute sister, my beautiful baby, and myself!
Crazy sistas!

My "oh so serious" husband!

My goofy daughter.

I love this face!

Crazy Week

So this week the director of the day care was on vacation so Stephanie and I were in charge. It went well for the most part. All of the concerns the parents had were handled and for the most part we had no problems. We did have a kid throw a rock and break a window but that could've happened any time. We also had the state come in for an unexpected visit. We passed! Woohoo! We also had the owner come in and check on us, he was VERY impressed with how well we worked together. He actually is going to help us to get our CDA's and then we can be directors. Cool!

Like I said for the most part it went well. The part that didn't is that we have two teachers that feel that Steph and I do nothing throughout the day. (Which is FAR from the truth.) One of the girls came up to Steph and said, "will you get these pictures of sport things off the internet for me? I know you have nothing else to do up here." Eww it irritates me! We also had a child that we had to move up into these girls' class because he is one month from their class and he is bullying the kids in his class because they are younger than him. One of the teachers said, "well, if he cries all day I am going home." I was so close to saying, "well if you leave don't come back on Monday." But because I don't technically have the power to fire a person I bit my tongue. I HATE disrespectful people. Steph and I were given the authority to run the day cay and these two wouldn't acknowledge that! Grr.

Alexis has been so cute lately. She is in the stage where she wants her mama all of the time. But I love to have her cuddle up to me so I love it! She is starting to get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth. She is so close to crawling I can't believe it.

Luther got laid off from his job. The company is bankrupt and they have no hope of getting out. So lame! So Luther is on the job hunt yet again. Good thing I am working so we have at least a little income. It is a stressful situation but we WILL get through it. I know we will!

We got our reservations for Disneyland! Yay! We are going in May 2009. I can hardly wait! We are also going to go to Sea World and Knott's Berry Farm. I am so freakin' excited!!
