This Thanksgiving Griffin Gets Busted!

Mommy's Thanksgiving Weekend

I pulled down a shift at the hospital. I think the nursing powers that be were smiling down on me because I had an amazing assignment. I could NOT have asked for a better assignment for holiday pay. My sister saved me some excellent left overs, which was great since no one is really open at 9pm when I finally got off work! A mere 13.5 hours of work, but who is counting the money?!

Day 2: Mommy Holiday vacation officially begins! I realized there was no point in getting up too early so I rolled out of bed at 9am and was out the door by 10. I won't bore you with the details, but I will say this...

Victoria's Secret Gap Gymboree Target Men's Wearhouse

Fiesta Mall Chandler Mall Tempe MarketPlace

Read Twilight (Yes I know a little late!, but the interest and time just became available)

Day 3: Target Bed,Bath, & Beyond, BodyWorks PotteryBarn Kids, Walmart

In order to avoid strangleholds, I will not bore you with every last detail. I will admit the above list intentionally excludes details of all of the purchases from said shopping extravaganza. Enough said!

I did miss my sweet family. However, I have 7 years of mommy self-sacrifice and 9 of wife hood! It is okay to get a break! I would like to thank my employer for making working a Holiday too lucrative to pass up. Thanks to my man for being superman, without whom none of this would be possible!

My friend called me last night and said her sister wondered if Brian and I were having marital trouble because she hasn't seen Brian around lately...

No, No troubles, Just one Amazing dad and husband!!

Daddy's Thanksgiving weekend with the boys!

USC Trojan Football Game

Little Brian said "the WATCHING of the game was boring, but the FOOD was good!" He apparently told his uncle this 3 times so he could understand the game wasn't boring it was just "The watching" that was boring.

Griffin finds himself in police custody for pulling the fire alarm. We even have a picture of the boys covering their ears from the deafening siren. When you break the law in California they are strict, even when it comes to minors! Griffin came home and said, "Policeman take me away."


Then there were the pony rides, Lincoln loved it the most. Who would've thought they let a 20 month old ride by himself? As he was pulled away from his ride, he kept crying "Horsey, Horsey"

That little ploy bought him a second ride! Hooray for grandparents who love to spoil!

On to the train ride!

What would we do without Papa to protect the wee Lincoln! Chuga Chuga, Choo Choo!

We love Daddy for being willing to work so hard, so we could have SO much FUN! Thank you Tutu and Papa for creating enough excitement that my husband can't resist the company, yummy food, and all of the fun USC activities! Thanks to Aunts Amy and Britt who played with us and gave us tubbies, and Uncle Jorge and Uncle Justy who embraced their inner child and entertained ALL my boys with rock band, XBOX 360 and endured the little men at the game! Special thanks to the Daw Clan for sending all my boys home safe and sound!
