Charlie

The newest, most adorablist (is that even a word?), addition to our family...CHARLIE!

I am EMPLOYED!

So, most of you know that being a stay at home Mom creates a CrAzY financial hardship on the majority of families- mine included. I had been trying to gain employment for a couple years but needed my hours to work around Cesar's schedule. CHRISTmas week my sister asked if I would be willing to watch one of her client's kids. I thought that this would work perfectly. I can stay home with my girls and make some dough. I was SOOOOO right! I am currently watching a beautiful 2 month old baby girl, 3 days a week, and I am LOVING it! This is totally my calling- I LOVE BABIES! Things are looking up at the Pulido household! Once we can dig ourselves out of debt THEN perhaps Cesar will let us move out of state! Fingers crossed...

New Header

Just wanted to thank my friend Noreen for making the beautiful header that my blog now has! She is so talented! Thanks so much!

"This is the BEST CHRISTmas EVER!"

CHRISTmas Eve was a BLAST! It started with a snowman breakfast. (I copied it from a Parents Magazine.) Then the girls got to open their chair pouches- they have one for every holiday. Inside was their CHRISTmas skirt, a Hershey kiss candy cane, and a new scarf that their Mema knitted for them.
Then we got ready to celebrate Christ's birth with Cesar's family. Tamales, tamales, and more tamales! Yum! I probably ate Chloe's weight in them. Chloe and Kayla were absolutely SPOILED by their Aunts and Uncles.

My nephew Ethan got 3 different Nerf guns- so the family went out for a nerf battle. I am going to get Chloe and Cesar some of those guns. I have never seen them laugh so hard.

Quick stop at my parent's house to have enchiladas with them. And then we had to head home- Santa had already come- the girls didn't know.

Chloe got a bounce house and a stocking full of necessities (ie: toothbrush, toothpaste...) and fun stuff. Kayla got (and I didn't take a picture!) a whole Graco nursery set and a new baby doll, with a stocking full of the same stuff.
Chloe said at least 40 times, "This is the BEST CHRISTmas EVER!"

And this was all before bed on the 24th! We slept well that night...

The girls had a BLAST this Halloween! Chloe got to dress up for dance, she was Taylor Swift that day. She slept in braids, we put glitter all over her guitar, my Mom made her a sparkly tube top dress and got her cowgirl boots, she was the HIT at the studio. ADORABLE! On Halloween Chloe was Ariel, wig and all. And, Kayla was a PRETTY fairy.
Yes, Chloe is wearing glasses now. Each time she puts them on she says "I can SEEEEEEEE!"
We are now working on why we celebrate CHRISTmas. That it isn't all about Santa. I have 2 Greedy Gretchens- wish me luck!
