cleaning the house

and trying to explain why I NEED the house clean

"a clean house makes a happy mommy"

"well a happy Chevlynn is messy"

how could I not laugh...I guess I DIDNT make my point?

Thank you Target

First THANK you for being soooooooo organized on Black Friday. I got everything I wanted and I didnt get there last night to wait. In fact I pulled up at 4:40am and your lines were the longest lines I have ever stood in but they went sooooo fast. It was a truly enjoyable shopping experience, it was so fast I had enough time to go home and go back to bed before the kids woke up.

Second thank you for the free $20 gift cards with all the stuff I bought this morning.

Third, THANK you for not always putting clearance stickers on your clearance, because of this.....I got my dream kitchenaid mixer for $30....NORMALLY $300! YAY!

Today has been a truly enjoyable day!!!!!

Our Pediatrician

Our pediatrician is Dr. Stephanie. WE LOVE DR STEPHANIE. I know I've said that before. WE LOVE HER! She is amazing. She takes her time with the girls, she talks to them, she listens to me when I have concerns. We have been going to her for almost 4 years. When we first started, she was single. We saw her right after she got engaged. We saw her a week after she got married. Then we saw her right after she found out she was pregnant. We saw her a month or two before she went on maternity leave.

Yesterday I got a birth announcement from someone I didnt know. I figured it was a family friend of Daniels. I showed him tonight. He had no clue. So I looked the unknown parents name on Facebook. IT WAS DR STEPHANIE.

How nice of her to send us an announcement. Another fine reason WE LOVE DR STEPHANIE. Who else would do that. She knew we wouldnt be seeing her as often because of our lack of insurance. She knew how sad we were about it. She is the best. EVERYONE should see her!

I feel so lucky to have found such a nice and caring doctor. :)

THANK YOU DR STEPHANIE!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

The kids have been so excited for halloween this year. Last year we didnt let Cheyenne trick or treat because she was so young. So this year was the first year both girls dressed up and went

We start our night at Nana Pinks house for some dinner, Chili and cheesy garlic bread, YUMMM!!! Then the kids got ready (Nana Pink had all their costumes at her house!)

Chey was a cat

Chev was Esmeralda from the Hunch Back

they both looked adorable in their costumes and played them off very well!

It honestly took about 4 houses for Chey to realize what was going on and before we knew it she was at the doors getting candy before Chev. She was so cute and funny.

it only took about an hour of trick or treating before we saw they got kind of quiet, Chey managed to open some candy and start eating it. OOPS!

they wore out about 7:30 and we went back home. We made it a lot further this year. Got more goodies and had way more fun!

honestly the best part of the night was the house down the street who had a full creepy graveyard set up on their front yard (best one I had ever seen) And on the way up to the door, Chey stopped to growl at some of the scary skeletons, EVERYONE was laughing!

Chev never failed to say trick or treat and thank you. And Chey never failed to not let people put the candy in her bucket...SHE HAD TO DO IT!

We had a fantastic Halloween, we hope you did too!

say a small prayer....

please have my dear friend Bumni in your prayers and thoughts...She has heart problems and she just called me to say she was taken by ambulance to the hospital because her heart is beating tooooo slow and they arent sure whats going to happen.... (I'm trying not to freak out!!!!!!) She is my best AZ friend!!!!!

Dear Santa-

a darling friend of mine, Alicia, is moving to NYC next month. I am saddened by this. Yes, I know she does not live in AZ and does live in Cali but at least she was close enough to visit. For Christmas I would like a trip to NYC for when its not toooo cold and snowy, I want to visit her (and shop!)

I swear I've been a good girl this year :)

Thanks-
April
(the girl really wanting a NY vaca!)

C-H-E-V-Y-N-N-N
