I LOVE my life!!

My new career-- STAY AT HOME MOMMY!!

Well the market and economy suck and finally came crashing down on me. I am no longer employed and get to be a stay at home mommy! Financially I am sure it is going to be a struggle but with a few adjustments I am sure we will be just fine. It occurred to be when I went back to work after maternity leave that my heart just wasn't there anymore. All I could think of was my kids and how much I was missing out on their lives. In a few short years Rylee will be in school and once that happens they are pretty much gone every day for the rest of their lives. So I am going to cherish this time and devote my time to being the best mom and wife. I am really excited to see what the future has in store for us!

Trick-OR-Treat

We went out trick or treating with the girls and within about 10 minutes Rylee already had a bag full. It was a long day for us all so we call it quits and had an early night. Rylee enjoyed carving her pumpkin but thought that is was so gross cleaning out the guts. I am not sure where she gets her girlieness from sometimes!! Baylee slept through carving pumpkins and trick or treating. Happy Halloween!!
