Working Woman

My old boss called me up last week and begged me to work a few days for her. Her family was coming into town so she wanted to be home with them. I initally told her no. But, then she called me back and offered me a lot of money for working just two days. So, how could I say no to that. Yesterday was more work than today.I took Bryson with me yesterday. I used to take Bryson with me every time I worked {when I was a regular employee there}. I don't know how I did it. I must have been crazy! I was so tired when I got home. Today went by fast. Pete had the day off so he kept Bryson. They brought me lunch around 1:30 and then decided to just stay and hang out with me until my shift was over at 3. I took my mini DVD player to keep myself entertained {it can get very boring there at times}. I was sure glad to have it. It was really slow today. I came to a conclusion at the end of my shift: I LOVE being a stay-at-home Mom. Nothing beats it!
Me on my way to work. . .I was ready to take on the world!

Me, bored to death at work

The lifesaver. I watched How to Loose a Guy in 10 Days. I decided it's my favorite movie. It's so funny!

The good ol' register I got to run. It's a used kids clothing store. It's a fun place with lots of cute stuff.

    hey, thats cool that she paid ya well. You should have called me. I would have gone it to see ya/scrummage through the clothes to see if there is anything worth buying. Call me next time. ps. I used to work at a laundry mat, but it was next to an old fogie neighborhood and those were the only people who ever came in.

    I love second hand stores, you can find way cute stuff for dirt cheap. I should have come in to visit and look around. That's nice you didn't have to take Bryson and got to relax a bit and get paid for it.

    stay @ home mom = the best. especially for people like me who have severe hermit tendencies & really don't like to put makeup on unless they have to.

    yay for a quick buck @ work though! which store is that?

    Lets be honest. Yesterday shortly after I was smacked in the face by a basketball (kicked by a kid three feet away) during playground duty (me and 4 second grade classes) I was really looking forward to the day when I can be a stay at home mom too!

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
