Our Visitor

Yesterday GiGi and I had quite the adventure!

We found this little guy on our stairs (inside the house)! Mo wasn't home, so GiGi & I had no other choice but to trap him so that Daddy could take care of him when he got home!

GiGi's Spud Buddy

Moments like these remind me that I have the best job & coworkers in the world!

Grayson Turned 2!

On her 2nd birthday, Mo had to work so we didn't do much. To celebrate, we went to Chili's. I am sure she would have wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese if we gave her a choice... but we I didn't. I HATE Chuck E Cheese! I find it overpriced, dirty, rude kids & even ruder parents. So Chili's it was.

She told the waitress "dirday" which is a Graysonism for birthday. I couldn't believe the waitress understood! She said "Oh, it's your birthday?" We told her it was & soon after the Chili's staff came out of the kitchen singing with a giant dessert!

Struggling with GiGi!

The past few days for me have been a struggle with GiGi. She has had her mind set on testing my patience every minute of every day! Here is a poem that best describes the past few days...

You make me laugh, you make me cry, today you made me want to die.

You always manage to make a huge mess, I have learned to expect nothing less.

Everday is a new test, which makes life hard because you never let me get any rest.
You are the reason Santa created a naughty list, and that I must pay to see a therapist.

You are the most stubborn girl I have ever met, but most people say that about their child, I bet.

You often make me have a glass of wine, but at the end of the day I thank the Lord that you are all mine!

This poem is just a joke... although we struggle almost daily, I love her to death.

For those of you that are not parents or have no sense of humor... please do not call the suicide hotline --

1. I really did not want to die

2. I don't really see a therapist (although some might think I should, lol)

3. I am not an alcoholic

It's Been 4ever!

It has been forever since my last post. It's safe to say.. having 2 kids is much more time consuming than one! You think that would be common sense, but I really just realized it in the past couple of weeks.

I have been trying to make the most of our fall though, since it is my favorite season! Well, I guess all I have really done is make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (which GiGi devoured) and lit an apple spice candle. PATHETIC. I have a box of fall decorations in the garage I would love to get out, but with the 2 little ones & a move in our near future.. I don't think that box will ever see the inside of our house.

Here is what we have been up to the past couple weeks...

-Found a new place to live.. CHECK.
-Had a Bday party for G with her Madera cousins.. CHECK
-Conquered G's strep throat.. CHECK
-Conquered my strep eye (yes, it's a real thing).. CHECK
-Went to VA to visit my family.. CHECK
-Gio's 1st rode trip (he slept the whole way there & back!) & hotel stay.. CHECK
-Trip to the pumpkin patch.. CHECK
-Bowling.. CHECK
-A lot of eating out.. CHECK
-Had a Bday party for G with the "Leopold's".. CHECK

I am sure we have done more in the past couple weeks.. however, none of it must have been memory worthy.. because that's all I remember!
