"I'm Drawing Mommy!"

So what do you say to a blue covered face that is sitting next to a couch that has become his canvas? This is our first time dealing with destruction at this level and I am sure it will not be our last. Thank goodness for microfiber covered in Scotch Guard!

BOO! It's Stacy's birthday!

Since October is here, Stacy decided for her birthday that we would go to Scream Town in Chaska, MN. Now, if you live here, you know about the flooding issues. Even more, you would know there are only a couple of ways to get across the Minnesota River. 101 though Shakopee and the 35W bridge. 101 always shuts down when there is ANY amount of flooding. Seems Chad and I were the only 2 that remembered this. we started out at Chad's parent's house, where we dropped off Brady for the night. They live in Shakopee. Chaska technically is only 10 minutes across the 101 bridge. We had to go the 45 minute route. That SUCKED! When we finally arrived, we had to wait about a half an hour for the rest of the party to arrive. What was the funny part? Chad ended up being the only guy there! I really wished we had taken some pics while in the haunted attractions. But, I am sure they would never allow that. I would recommend everyone to visit Scream Town this Halloween season. It was pretty spooky, but SO fun!

It got pretty spooky when all the fog machines started rolling!

This is as close as I would get to the Klown Housse. I have a major fear of dolls and clowns.

Below is us girls practicing our scream before we went into the Haunted Forest.

Me? Blogging? Well, this is new...

Well, who ever thought of me as a blogger? Hey, I never thought I would do it either. I complain of having no time to myself after having a baby a little over 2 years ago. But, here I am! Mostly, I am thinking this could be a creative outlet for me. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I take millions of pictures wherever I go. I might as well have a place to put the real story behind them. Plus, I know a lot of people hate Facebook and I might as well not spend EVERY minute of my life on there. Will I keep up with this? Who knows...

At the moment, I am sitting here. Stressed about finding a job. I was laid off from my Project Administrator job at Toll Brothers in January of 2009. I have had the luxury of staying home with my beautiful baby boy, Braeden (Brady) Joel since he was 6 months old. I feel as though I have applied to about 25-30 jobs (literally!) in the past week or two. How is it I have only had one interview since I finished medical transcription school back in August 2010? I am sure the rest of MN is also looking for jobs in this crappy economy. I just feel like I have so many years of experience to offer that my phone should have been ringing off the hook by now. I guess I will just keep plugging at it as I get more desperate for work.

You must wonder what I do with all of this free time. HA! There really is none. When you have the most energetic, crazy, but wonderful 2 year old running your life for you, there is no such thing as free time.

How on Earth did my baby go from tiny and quiet to large and in charge?
