Early Thanksgiving Break! I am Thankful!!

So Monkey told me last week that all of his professors were going to a conference and he had 3 days off... So Thanksgiving Break started early for the Mullins fam! Which I am so excited about... finally some Daddy/husband time. We decided to make each day he had off the best day ever! Well it has rained like crazy so we had to get creative! Since we couldn't go outside we ended up EATING A LOT!!! hahaha hey it's Thanksgiving and we worked out EXTRA HARD everyday so it's okay!

We started off the week going to CHUCKY CHEESE!!! It was hilarious Belle was terrified of everything especially the merry go around ponies! Like what in the world?!! She was screaming we could not get her to go on... finally I just sat her on it and she was crying then she stopped and goes, "Oh I love them ponies!" then we couldn't get her off them. She was going crazy running from one ride to the other! Cash was so tired he looked like he was going to fall asleep on each ride. Belle was so excited when they brought the pizza out. Cash and I enjoyed munchin on the bread! For some odd reason Chucky the reall mouse loved Cash he kept coming up to her and playing with him. I was so happy Belle wasn't scared of him, she actually let him get close to her. All in all the night was a success and now Belle can't stop asking to go to Chucky Cheese! "Mom lets go to Chucky Cheese... just one more time!!... Ok!?!" Sweet Girl!

Then second day of complete pouring rain we decided to just explore a new part of town that I am in love with. It feels like home in Colorado! We went Christmas shopping and looked at lights and then.... we ended up at KRISPY KREMES (I didn;t think Oregon had one)!!! Belle and Monkey looked like little kids in a candy shop trying to pick out their doughnut... Belle loved watching how the doughnuts were made. But I think Cash and I liked it the most. Belle got her first doughnut and she definately is a Jones'- Loves them doughnuts!!! Then we went to the mall and saw Santa and played at them little play place! Which Belle absoultley loves. Then I saw SEE'S CHOCOLATES and I had to have Monkey try some! Best Chocolate ever. He got free samples and ohhhh when I can eat dairy again I will be getting me some SEE'S!

Through out these days off Monkey and I decided to have a at home date night every night... we decided to visit Mexico one night (which the picture did show up), then China a different night, and then Italy another. The Italy one was my favorite date because it was Monkey's turn to plan and he is so thoughtful- he went and did a night I things I couldn't have... He made dairy free everything. The cheese on the pizza was rice cheese which was actually really good. He bought me dairy free peanut butter cups and milky way cause they are my favorite, rie milk egg nog (which was awful, we both took a drink and held it in our mouths trying not to be rude... then we busted out laughing how bad it was!!!) and the lady in the store thought he was hot so she gave the candy him free and drew a heart on the back of one! ummmm CRAZY PERSON!! and he had Belle with him!!! hahah

Belle got a SUPRISE!!! A (free wells fargo) Horse! hahaha why you may ask? Well Belle finished her whole chart. It has taken her a while. She was really struggle with learning to not throw fits. But today she did it! She finished her chart and boy are Monkey and I proud of her!!! And she was pretty proud of herself hahah and her horse! She kept wanting Monkey to ride her horse with her! oh man that was a sight! Cash was laughing so hard while he was in the middle of all their toys! so funny. I am so happy for Belle- Good job little lady we love you!! We love you!

So a holiday is coming up and of course as tradition we made cookies. This time we did ginger bread men and turkey sugar cookies! We delivered them to our neighbors and I ran to the next dooor by us and I told Belle to stay in the house cause it was freezing and she totally shut the door and LOCKED IT!!!!!!! WHAT??? I freaked because Cash was sleeping Monkey wasn't home and I had no keys! All the neighbors came out and Belle was just laughing inside banging a stick on the window. I could not get her to open the door. Finally Monkey came home and we got in! That stinker!!! Then we got the kids in the bath and the were just cracking up at each other!!! haha this was a good day!

Then it snowed!!! Everyone was praying that it would be a snow day and they could have a long Thanksgiving break. It snowed and tiny bit but all of a sudden 6am in the morning we get a text alerting us the all campuses and schools were closed for hazardous road conditions... we later woke up and there was like no snow!!! but alright SNOWWWWWW DAY!!!! we played in the snow and hahaha oh my goodness Monkey turned into a little boy!!! He was making snow angels, rolling all over, doing flips, and throwing snow balls that happened to nail Belle in the face hahahaha it is not funny but he did not mean to!!! hahaha she balled then she heard a airplane and said "ewww airplane dad!!" Didn't hurt too bad I guess! We had a blast outside! Then we went shopping again watched a movie and Monkey did a awesome date for us!!!
Thank you babe! You always know how to make me feel so special!

Now on to THANKSGIVING WITH THE MULLINS!!! we leave tomorrow and then we FEAST!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
