My little helpers

This little pink vacuum was the best day after Thanksgiving purchase.

Bostons new favorite toy.

Do as I'm doing......

.....follow follow me. Meet my little shadow. She says her name isn't Londynn anymore it's Allison. I was laying on my bed talking to Jared and she crawled up right next me and assumed the same position. What a cutie!!

Temple Square

It's been quite a few years since I have been to temple square to see the Christmas lights and since Londynn is really into the lights and temples we decided this year would be a good year to take a trip downtown. We thought we might be making a mistake going today because it was the Christmas devotional; however, we found parking that we otherwise wouldn't have found because of the devotional.  We pretty much beat the rush both coming and going from downtown which was perfect.  It's been hard getting into the Christmas spirit this year because it's been so warm; however, I wasn't complaining tonight when the temperature was bearable. 

never before and never again

What was I thinking when I got up at 4:20 to hit walmart (ya I know I shop at walmart) on black Friday. That's just it, I wasn't thinking. I've been out shopping on black friday before and have been just fine; however, I have never been up and at the store when it opened on black friday.  Let's just say I will never do it again. I arrived at walmart at 4:45 15 minutes prior to when the sales were supposed to start.  I should have seen it as a sign when I pulled into the parking lot and the WHOLE parking lot was full, but no I continued on. So much for starting at 5:00. I walked into the store at 4:50 and people were already going hog wild over items. I have never seen so many crazies jam packed into one store at one time in my life.  It was quite the scene. The further I continued on into the store the more insane it became.  I'm surprised I ended up leaving the store (after standing in line for over an hour) with almost everything I had on my list. What an ordeal. Now I can say I have braved the early morning crowds on black friday, something I do not wish to repeat!!

Gobble gobble

This post is a little late coming seeing that it was for family night this last week, but if you can't tell I just haven't been in the blogging mood. We have a million pictures on our camera so it takes FOREVER for the new ones to upload, thus the reason I have put it off.  However, with this being said, for family night on Monday we made Turkeys and talked about what we were thankful for. Londynn is thankful for santa because she seems to think that he will be bringing her Sleeping Beauty, hmmm we'll have to see about that one. 

Just mom and me!

So I've decided that I need to start spending more one on one time with my kids because honestly this is something that I haven't been good about doing.  Friday night I decided that me and Londynn needed an outing together with just the two of us.  We made a trip to the store to buy a birthday present for her friend and then we hit Iceberg for a yummy shake. I think her favorite part of the night was walking up and down the Christmas isles at the store wishing she had everything. Londynn sure has been testing me the last few months (I like to say she is a lot like me that's why we clash so much) so it was nice to be able to go out with just the two of us and spend some time together. 

 

Stuck

I heard crying in the kitchen when I was in a different room, I came out to find this. I'm a mean mom and instead of rescuing him I had to grab the camera. He didn't appreciate it to much. It's 

amazing that they can find there way up on top of things but have troubles getting themselves down.
