today marks the end of my maternity leave....and i am pretty bummed about it. dont get me wrong, i miss my friends at work, my co-workers, you know, the social part of work....but i dont miss being away from home 14 hours at a time for 3 days a week....and having to sleep during the day to go back to work. i feel like i miss so much....but since we didnt win the lotto....back to work i go tomorrow....
we just spent 2 1/2 weeks in florida with my mom and sister and her family! and had so much fun! of course i took hundreds of pictures! i miss my family, so being down there for 2+ weeks was heaven for me! the florida post will have to be another day...but some of the highlights are...we spent an afternoon on the beach! danikas first time!...we carved pumpkins!...went to a wedding...tailgated at 2 FSU games!....and of course went trick or treating!....
i never really got into halloween, but when you have kids....i think its an unwritten rule that you HAVE to get into halloween! i decided not to stress about the girls costumes this year....i mean really....danika will be in the front baby carrier so who will really see her? and finley is 21 months old...so i might as well get away with not spending a lot of $$ on costumes while i can! i found these pjs...that were too darn cute! pink glow in the dark skeletons!!!! so thats what the girls were for halloween!!!! and i think they were just too stinkin sweet!
at first finley was timid, and didnt want to go up to the houses without one of us....but that quickly faded and she was running up to the houses, taking the 1 piece of candy she was handed, then reaching into the candy bucket to grab ANOTHER hand full of candy! (no one minded and it was pretty cute!). then she would turn around and run back down the driveway....and yell "BYE!". i tried really hard to get her to say "trick or treat" and "thank you"....but it didnt happen....we will work on that for next year! (the middle picture is finleys first trick or treat house...she had to be carried by daddy...)
she walked about half the neighborhood....then went up to the stroller and said "sit sit"...her little legs had had enough....so she rode the rest of the way....with a sucker in one hand and a box of nerds in the other! it was great! she ended up one sticky nerdy hot mess!!!! but boy did she have a great time! and such a sweet girl, she kept sharing her sucker with me...she would lean out of the stroller looking for me and yell "mama!", then hold her sucker up to me and say "suk-er"! and insist i have a lick, but good for me it was a red tootsie roll pop, one of my FAVES!
danika....well she slept the entire time!!!! (can you see in the middle picture the nerd stuck between her nose and top lip!?!?!)
