Welp...here we go

Well bloggy friends.  I have done it.  I know I put in my comments yesterday that I wasn’t going to but I did.  I sent a follow-up email letting upper management know about my successes in sales and letting them know that I am going to be the bigger person in their shake-up but that I am sales oriented and that I can do what they think I can’t do.  I also snuck in there that I thought that I didn’t think it was the best idea to take a test’s word over factual information in what a person’s worth is.  So it got sent Friday afternoon where I’m sure they are not in the office but they should see it Monday.  Here’s hoping I didn’t hurt my future at this company.  But I did send a copy to my mom to read over after the fact and she said it sounded very professional and not bad so yeah.

Haunted Traditions

When I saw the spin this week was family traditions I thought that we don't have a lot of actual traditions for our little family. But then on Sunday my mom and I took Leo to the pumpkin patch and it hit me that, DUH! This was our family tradition. Since Leo has been 1 year old my mom and I have taken him to the pumpkin patch and had such an awesome time. We go to one that is about 45 minutes from where we live and each year the little farm gets bigger and bigger and always adds more attractions. And each year as Leo gets a little bit bigger he is able to do more and more. We were talking about how next year Leo would be in, GASP, kindergarten and so we would probably have to go on a weekend again but we both thought that we might be able to take him out of school or if they had an in-service day we could use that one to go and enjoy the time together. So our family tradition is nothing crazy but we sure like it! Here are some pictures from years past at the pumpkin patch...we don't have any from this year because I haven't gotten them from my mom yet.

Leo's favorite thing to do is play in their sandbox filled with corn and drive their dump trucks

Leo wished we could take this giant pumpkin home with us last year!

Each year we see how tall he is compared to the giant pumpkin! 2008
