Gosh it makes me sad that I don't have time to blog more often. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a LOT to say :)
The children are alright. Things are crazy, but what else is new? David is still working 6PM-6AM which means the kids go 2 days straight without seeing him. Daddy is doing his best to take Cody to daycare at least two days a week so that they have some male-bonding time. I enjoy having the kids all to myself but it is definitely tiring and I am already counting down the day that David switches back to days. But as well all know in the police-world, that can change at any moment. But this weekend, David was off so we made the best of it.
Luckily, we have an amazing support system and this weekend David and I snuck out for a movie. My parents came over after church and lunch and David and I drove to Bee Cave to see Jackass 3. We've had a gift card/concession pass for a few months now but the movies have been really lame (and still pretty much are). But we were craving some laughs...and we did. Thanks Mom and Dad!
Saturday (the day before the movie date) Emma had breakfast w/her Nana and Granddad and David and I chilled at home w/Cody. That afternoon we had a photoshoot with our friend Becky. We met Becky and her daughter Rachael in Georgetown at Blue Hole park to take some family pictures. I can't wait to see them! We originally planned to go to dinner together at Dos Salsas. I freaking love that place! David introduced me to it when he worked for WilCo and I'd go out to Georgetown to have lunch with him. But this night there was a crazy line out the door. Rachael and Becky needed to come into Austin anyway so we ended up at the cheesecake factory. Mmm. What a treat!

Memorable Monday
Too many adorable and memorable things have happened in the last 2.5 hours so it's time for a blog! On the way home from school today Emma was singing "Awesome God" with all her little heart. She gets to the grand finale..."Our God is...an...awesooooome Goddddddd!" and Cody lets out the biggest, gnarliest GFROPORBSSAAHHH!!! loud growl. I thought it was pretty hilarious but maybe you had to be there.
This afternoon my Dad took Emma to her dentist's office after he picked her up from school. Last week we got the cutest letter in the mail from her dentist with a story about how the Tooth Fairy is always very depressed this time of year because children eat too much candy and their teeth suffer the consequences. So they came up with a win-win and invited the children to bring in all of their left over halloween candy (after they had picked out a few favorites) and trade it in. For every pound of candy the kids would receive $2 and the dentist's office would make a $5 donation to the Capital Area Food Bank. So yeah, Emma got $16 dollars!!! She treated she and pawpaw to a smoothie and had $11 left over. When we got home we picked up Daddy and headed over to Toys R Us. I've been wanting to get a specific walker for Cody and needed to look at gift ideas for the children for Christmas. Emma bought a barbie living room set with her left over $11 and we had fun trying out toys with the children. This shopping trip accomplished one other thing; we picked up the VTech Sit-t0-Stand Activity Walker that I've had my eye on.
We came home, and opened it right up hoping that it would entertain Cody while we ate our Schlotzsky's real quick. Cody immediately took three steps! It was awesome! So glad Daddy was home to see. It was a real treat for all of us. Even Sissy was stoked about it!
