I just read Niko his night night story and put him to bed...

Tonight we read :


I love this book because it has tons of lovable creatures. It has pop up tabs, textures and colors and is very sturdy so he can be completely hands on. It seems his attention span is growing for things like stories and imagination daily!

I love my little boy!

He's had quite the week...check it out!





Kicked back!




Niko and his new pal!




Toy time!

Mommies holiday and Niko's vacation.


Well, Where do I begin....

Lets start with St. Patty's Day!
I worked St. Patty's Day. For those who are not familiar with Macados, there three biggest days of the year are Black Friday, Halloween, and St. Patty's day. When you walk into the store you'll notice a lot of decor. Not unlike an Applebees...but much more tasteful (in my opinion.) Lots of old movie art, cardboard cutouts of Wizard of Oz characters, signed baseballs from local and world renound player, we even have a West Virginia room with vintage pictures and railroad lights and signs.
But, what seems to catch many eyes are the dozens of collages of past St. Patty's Day and Halloween party pictures. If you live in the surrounding area - Macados is the place to be (or at least show face) on those designated party days!
Here are a few pictures that may make the cut on a future collage board!




We danced to the funky jams....




Mike did a lot of clapping


Here's Tina (the sweetest manager ever) with her sister Sue (the sweetest retail/server ever)



Ashley (off duty) with Lindsey (on duty)



My good old friend Josh and Lou Lou!




Notice how Mike has the, "this isn't happening face" amongst all of the chaos...


We love our cooks!!!



Michelle and Steph (dueling blonds)



Sue and her stack of cash! / Lindsey with the million dollar smile


They had no idea I snuck in the picture *snickers*


Oh yeah, they survived!



Mike was ready for the night to END!


Tina and I posted up in the dish room!



Whilst all the chaos was going on with me at work. Little Niko had a wonderful vacation to McDowell county with his Auntie Teresa. She took some good pictures...all that's missing is some of her with the baby :(







Gotta love the face!




All dressed up for the country!!!



Hanging out with Grandma Farmer



Getting some heavy eyes despite the outfit...



Dustin was a good play mate...



And Adam made a good cuddle buddy!


All and all the past few days have been some good memories. Niko is home now (and I missed him terribly) It's interesting how 2 days can feel like a million years when your away from your child...but you appreciate them all the more when they're back in your arms!!!
