Mean Mean Man!

Today has been such a long day! I had to take my grandma around to run some errands. I knew my plates were a month expired but I have had NO time to get it taken care of. Not to mention I have a newborn and the last place I want to take him is the DMV.
It all started with my grumpy attitude this morning. It had been a long night and I was not in the mood to take my grandma to run her errands ( I love you grandma!). First on the list was taking her to a coin shop downtown. When we got there I paid for the parking and went in with her. When I looked out the window I noticed a cop standing next to my car and giving me a ticket. I ran out as fast as I could with my 2 year old and newborn in tow.
T-" Whats the problem officer"
Parking ticket ass- "Your plates are expired"
T- " I am so sorry. I just had a baby and have not had time to go to the DMV. Can you give me a warning and I will make sure my husband takes it in first thing tomorrow?"
PTA_ " No it is too expired."
T- "It is only a month expired. And I had a baby when it did. Please just give me a warning"
PTA"NO. IT is your fault for not taking care of it." he was very short and very rude!
T- "fine. Emmy come on lets go. He is a mean mean man" He was standing next to me as I said this and gave him a dirty look. He walked away and I was very upset. After getting the kids buckled and walking around to my door I don't know what came over me. I yelled as loud as i could " YOU ARE A PRICK!"
I am sure Emmy herd it even though her door was shut and I felt my heart melt. It was a bad parenting moment and I know it! I must say I don't know any cop who would be so mean to give a young mother with a 2 year old, newborn and grandmother a ticket instead of a warning. It was only a month expired and he was so mean! I have been upset about the whole situation all day!

Little Jackson

My adorable kids!!!

Our life has been pretty mellow lately. We are finally in our daily routine and enjoying each other.
Halloween was a blast. We took Emmy and Jackson trick or treating, had homemade chicken noodle soup,wastle, and watched scary shows. We decided to stay low key this year and just stay at home. It was so nice to just enjoy Halloween and not have to worry about family.

Emmy is doing great! She is learning more and saying funnier things everyday. Today she noticed her trick or treating bag was empty and said " Mom oh no! My candy is gone! I need to get in my buderfry (butterfly) costume and get more!" She is loving her dance class and LOVES painting lately.

Jackson is getting HUGE!!! I cant believe he is 8 weeks and 12 pounds!!! He smiles and likes to coo at things. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family!

Matt worked from home on Thursday last week and took Friday off. It was so nice to have him home with us and just enjoy each other! We got our Christmas lights up, finished the H1N1 flu vaccine for Emmy and Matt (I got it a month ago with Emmy), Played at home, went to the ballet with my grandpa and had fun!!!

I know this is a boring post but this is our life lately. We are enjoying every moment with the kids and loving life.

Bath/ lotion time!

We have had such a fun weekend. I am so sad to see it come to an end. We started Friday night off by going to a cute little pumpkin patch down the street from us. We picked out 4 pumpkins, played on the small tractors, went through the corn maze and went for a ride on the big tractor. We had a blast!!! After we got the kids in bed Matt and I stayed up until 2 in the morning just talking. I love nights like this! It reminds me of when we were dating and could not get enough of each other. I was so sad when we went to bed because I wanted to talk all night!

Saturday I went to the Baby expo in the morning with some friends. I got another one of my favorite blankets for Jackson! When the expo was done I met Matt at our nephews baptism. After the baptism we took a long nap. AMAZING!!!!!!! ( naps are my favorite thing in this world). We ended the night with a date to the mall and a movie in bed.

Today has been another great day. We woke up and went to church for the first time as a family of 4. Things went very smooth and it was nice to be back at church even if I was in the hall talking the entire 3rd hour:) We came home, ate lunch, watched a movie and then took another great afternoon nap! When we woke up we decided to take a drive up the canyon and pick some leaves. Sunday drives are so relaxing! When we got home we had fettuccini Alfredo, cleaned the house and bathed the kids. I love weekends like this! I am so sad to see it end. Hopefully next week will be just as enjoyable!

Witchy Weekend!

Friday night my friend Randi threw a Witches Tea. It was so fun! We drank tea, talked and listened to witch stories. It was nice to get out but I missed the kids like crazy!

Saturday we decided to go to Gardener Village and see the witches. EMMY LOVED IT!!! It was so fun to go on a family outing. I love all the little boutiques at Gardener Village and had so much fun looking around!

I love this time of year especially with kids. We are so excited for all the other fall activites we have and for the upcoming holidays!
