tho one about my Halloween costume

Go to Tara's blog for a sneak peak of what we are gonna be today.... THEN, come in to the Hotel to see for yourself. We even have CANDY!!! come between 11:30 and 3.

I will have pictures later, so stay tuned!

the one about Kinoki foot pads

What do you know about these things? Brett and I have been SO CURIOUS! We saw them at Wal-Mart the other night and HAD TO TRY THEM. First of all, they stink to high heaven. Second of all, they stick almost too well to your feet, therefore, everything else sticks to your feet the next couple of days. But as far as their claim of "pulling toxins out of your body?" I think it is a total hoax. I think the sweat from your feet just change the color of the pads. I have been doing my own research on these things for the last couple of days and I am just not convinced. Brett on the otherhand.... he still thinks they are legit. Either way... you all know how I love gross stuff so OF COURSE I have to post pictures!!

the one about a Spencer sandwich

Tara and I tease cute little Spencer at work about how we have a big fat crush on him. We talk dirty to him and give him such a hard time. We invite him to the "cold room," (that is where we go to drop our daily cash) and we always tell him we want to have a Spencer sandwich. So Tara made this bumper sticker and we snuck to the Hotel one night when Spencer was at work and put it on his car. Funny huh!!!
He loved his sticker. At least he said he did. Maybe he was just sparing our feelings, but he did tell us he would never remove it. Poor Guy. He gets totally harassed by not only me, but Tara too.

the one about the corn maze

I was so excited today to get to go to Quayd's field trip at the Bluebell corn maze. I have been so lucky to go help in his class every Monday and I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go on my first field trip as a Mom. We packed our lunches this morning, bundled up, (which we didn't need to do after all, because the weather was BEAUTIFUL!) and loaded on the bus. It seemed like we would never get there, but we finally did. One hour on a crowded bus full of 6-7 year olds was my idea of HELL! We took a wagon ride and all of the kids all got to pick a gord from the pumpkin patch. Then we had a little lesson on water and corn to prepare us for the questions we would find in the maze. We had a potty break, and we were off. Our group made it through the maze with no troubles. Luckily, the other mom in our group had already been, so she lead us. After the maze, the kids got to play on the slides, in the corn bin, feed the goats and just run around. They loved it! We loaded back on the buses and went to the Bluebell park for lunch. The kids got to play for awhile, then we loaded back on the hell bus and headed home. It was such a fun day. I am so glad I got to go. Quayd's class had like 6 moms that came to help. One of the other first grade classes didn't have one single mom help. Sad! Quayd has such a great teacher and I am so glad he has such a fun class. I am in charge of his Halloween Party on Friday and I can hardly wait!!!

the one about carving pumpkin

Yes. you read that right. PUMPKIN. We just weren't in to it this year, so we only did one. A "family pumpkin." Brett did all of the carving, I accessorized it and Quayd played with Lego's in his room. Aren't we lame???

Quayd needed a pumpkin for a contest at school and he wanted it to be a pirate. We did the best we could. We went to the Halloween carnival at his school last night to see if he won. He didn't, but we still thought it was cute!

the one about the Quayd show

Quayd made this cute Halloween thing at 4-H fun day and he was telling Brett and I how to make it. He was so funny telling us all about it, I had to get it on video.

the one about my pirate name

I had a very productive day at work. (Not!) I hung out with my new buddy, Spencer, and we talked like pirates all day then googled pirate phrases. It was so much fun. We laughed and laughed! He is such a cool kid. I can call him a kid, because he is one. He is only 20. He just moved to town to live with his sister. He came in to the hotel last week to apply for a job and I knew we needed to hire him the second I saw him. He is so much fun and he fits right in with all of us at work. He is so smart and he is catching on to the front desk stuff so well. We love him!!! This is him wearing the sweet eye patch I constructed for him out of office supplies.

This is my pirate name.

Bloody Mary Bonney

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

This is Spencer's pirate name

Dread Pirate Bonney

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

It was cool. You had to take a quiz thing and it generated your real pirate name. So, if we were pirates, we would be related! We are pirate soul mate-eys!!!!!
