Happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday

I'm a couple of days late with my thanksgiving post, we made the rounds and then got up for black friday and I worked friday night and I work again tonight. At my moms it was my grandma, uncle, brother and my nephew Gabriel n us of course. I made twice baked sweet potatoes and they were delicious! It was almost more of a dessert but either way they were yummy, with cream cheese, cinammon, milk, brown sugar all mixed together and twice baked sprinkled with pecans on top....mmmmm. So I always SWORE I'd never be that person that wakes up at the butt crack of dawn to go shopping the day after thanksgiving..... well we saw some stuff we wanted and couldn't resist, we split up and I took evey to Academy. Evey was not thrilled about waking up at 330am! But it worked out bc we shopped from 5-11ish came home, ate and all took a 3hr nap which worked out perfectly for me bc I had to work that night. I had an easy assignment and was struggling to stay awake lol. SO NOT COMPLAINING after that train wreck I had the night I covered for Carlos. Back to black friday, I am NOT a morning person but I actually enjoyed it! Waking up early once a yr and going shopping isn't bad. Some ppl say its not worth the savings but I definately do!

Christmas will be here before we know it!

Yes I am a Christmas nerd! We had our decorations up over a week ago! Decorations are up inside, we just have to put the lights outside. We have our regular tree in front and our mini in the back room. I can't wait to decorate the outside of the house! We will make the rounds for thanksgiving and omg I am actually going to get up at the buttcrack of dawn to go shopping on black friday. I ALWAYS swore I'd never b that person but it looks like I've been sucked in lol. I will let you know how that goes. Last night wasn't too bad at work, one admission wasn't too bad, beats having the patient that pulled his trach out at shift change the night before! Luckily the team was doing rounds and the doctors got it back in relatively easy. I worked 3 nights in a row which I am SO not use to anymore and I slept for 4 hrs n woke up to watch football. Time to get back to being lazy and watching football. Till next time....

Lucy!

We've had Lucy for 2 days and I love her to pieces! She is finally settling in with us. She is a lab/weimaraner mix and is 8wks old. Evelyn loves her but is still learning she can't pick her up haha. Lucy is very patient with Evey and loves to play! Waking up in the middle of the night to take her outside reminds me of having a newborn! lol She is the cutest! Well thats all for now! Till next time!

Family Fun!

This weekend my cousin got married and my niece had a birthday party. So we were surrounded by family all weekend. Evey had so much fun playing with her cousins, now that shes older she can semi keep up with them. She had fun beating up tinkerbell haha. Some how she knew what "pops" were even though she doesn't get this from us! I think nana has been sneaking loli pops as Evelyn targeted them when the pinata broke! lol She will get enough junk food when she's older for now I try to limit what she eats. I always hear how hard it is for parents to get their kids to eat well and that they always want junk food. Somehow my family seems to think by not letting Evey eat McDonalds I am depriving my child that all kids need to eat junk food. We eat organic for the most part but I think my parents still think we are vegetarians that only eat tofu lol. Oh well, its my child and my decision to not feed her junk. Besides I think it makes her immune system stronger by getting natural vitamins and minerals in her food (yes she still gets a whole food gummi vitamin) but she is 2 and has had a stuffy nose once for like a day and a half. Neways I'm off my soap box. We had fun at the party, it was nice hangin out with my cousins, I really need to see them more often. So yesterday I finally brought our books in from the garage to put in our bookshelf. I found a childrens bible we had bought Evey when she was born. So I started over from the beginning and she was interested but read aloud most of the time lol... it was so cute and she said the most appropriate things at just the right time, we were reading the garden of eden and there was a snake and an apple tree picture, she pointed to the snake and screamed "Ahhh SNAKE! Ahhh!" it was cute. Then followed by "mmm apple." Last night she pulled a fast one on me! She has been sleeping in her bed for a while and still gets up and wanders into our room in the middle of the night and I just take her back. Well I woke up this morning to find her snuggled up in bed! I was surprised though when she didn't put up a fight when I lead her back to her room. Well thats all for now, till next time.

Slightly Hectic Week....

Tuesday we decided to go get Christmas lights for the outside of the house, I am stoked to decorate my own home. So we ended up getting all new Christmas tree decorations and ended up spending 3 1/2 hrs at Hobby Lobby uuggghhhh. So I didn't get to sleep at all before going to work tuesday night. TIRED. I worked wednesday night and went to the gym thursday morning, on the way home I got a call from my father in law saying that Davids grandma past away. With all that going on I didn't get to sleep until 11am, I woke up and it was dark outside! OOPS! I slept till 630p. I needed it though I haven't gotten that much sleep since before Evey was born! lol So I wake up this morning about 8am , so the wheels start turning in my head thinking the sale at Toys R Us is suppose to be friday...the 7th... I WORK FRIDAY THE 7th at AGENCY which is 8a-4p....SHIT! So I call and say I will be there in a bit and profusely apologize. So I'm running around getting ready and Evey runs up to me and holds my face with both hands and looks me in the eyes and says very seriously and very sadly DONT GO! mama DONT GO! omg HEART BREAKING! Times like those make me wish I stayed home. I will only be here half day bc its slow so when I get home Toys R Us here we come! My cousins wedding is tomorrow and my nieces birthday party is saturday... So I'm ready for a vacation....Tahoe anyone? Thats all for now, till next time.

Happy Haloween!

Evey was a monster! We had a blast walking my brothers neighborhood with my nephew and my niece. Evey kept up with them too! She hasn't quite got the concept down yet. You say trick or treat (she's got that part), accept the candy and say thank you (she does that) but then she reaches in their basket for more candy! It is so cute, most everyone thinks its funny n lets her take another piece. One guy told her she was so cute and could take as much as she wanted.... I said now Evey in life thats not how its gonna work! You can't get everything you want by looking cute! haha It was funny. Thats all for now, till next time.

POOP!

So we have kinda sorta not really been potty training Evelyn. She's pooped in the potty once a long time ago and since then if I see her starting to go I ask her "evelyn poo poo in the potty?" and her response is always the same...."NO poo poo potty!" She's only two not too worried about it. WELL, yesterday she went to the bathroom so I went to get a diaper and wipes So as I'm about to walk into our carpeted living room In walks a naked child with POOP on her bum and legs. Yes she took everything off and left her poo poo diaper on the ground. THANK GOODNESS there was no poop on the floor! Hopefully this means shes getting closer to wanting to potty train! Or it could be Evey being....Evey! Well since I worked 7p-7a last night and now I am at work (agency) for half a day 730am-noon, I am going to go before I start typing jibberish haha. 2-3hrs of sleep and then its time to take Evey trick or treating! Thats all for now, till next time.
