My second day at work they stuck me outside doing carts. I thought they were trying to kill me! Do you know how heavy one cart is (someone said 90lbs - don't know if that's true or not but it sure felt like it)? Now try pulling 10 of them at a time! You'd think being such a big company they'd have those fancy cart pushing machines. Nope. I got a stinky safety vest and a rope as my only tools. Apparently there is some debate on which is easier/better, pulling the carts or pushing them. My 'buddy' for the day is a puller so, therefore, I was a puller for the day. I have bruises up and down the right side of my body! It's been over a week now and I STILL have the bruises! I'm scheduled for carts again this week so I may test out the pushing aspect and see how that goes. I could go into all kinds of reasons why everyone should be extra kind to the cart collectors you see in parking lots but I think it's something you have to experience to really appreciate. But try to be patient and kind to them anyway. It's hard work!
Sydney Stories:
Sydney has started to 'feed' her babies. It's so cute to watch her. She lays them across her lap and shares her milk/water with them. She even shares MY water with them, that's how kind she is. And I can't believe I haven't taken a single picture of it yet. This darn work think is really getting in the way of my fun and enjoyment!
Sydney has been working on her jump shot and victory dance. She's really good too!

Quinn Stories:
Miss Quinn is something else. Bedtime has been a hassle for her - she keeps getting up for whatever reasons. I guess it has gotten a little easier since I've been working and K.C. is in charge of it. He lets her stay up until SHE's ready to go to bed (what a concept!). I guess they'll be hanging out and she'll announce that she is tired and going to bed and will march straight into our room and fall asleep in our bed. He moves her into her room when he goes to bed so it's been working out nicely I guess. She's too funny.
She has also been talking A LOT about her birthday party. Actually, she has been planning it and, I've got to tell you, it's been taking a lot of stress/pressure off of me. It is so funny. She tells me what kind of cake she's going to have (it keeps changing but as of now it's going to be a princess cake), what color party hats and balloons she's going to have, who's going to be there. She even told me that we all were going to hide and then she would come downstairs and we would all jump out and yell surprise to her. I sure hope it goes as well as she sees it in her head!
Here is a Quinn fact for you: Snow White is a super hero! Quinn pointed out her cape to me as if that was all of the proof anyone would need!
Quinn & Sydney stories:
The girls and I took some bread to the park to feed to the ducks. I don't know why but Quinn was brave enough to let one duck take the bread out of her hand! I'm not even brave enough for that! Of course I didn't have the camera rolling for it and she wouldn't do it again - I don't blame her! But I did get some video after that. The ducks and the girls were upset when we ran out of bread. We'll have to remember to take more next time!

The girls have been adjusting to me working pretty well. I think it helps that they are with Daddy instead of at someones house. They watched him do some house work so I found them 'helping' me one morning. They were vacuuming under the couch cushions for me. SO helpful!
I guess that's about all that's going on around here. Hope everyone has made it back safely from their travels over the weekend. And I especially hope that my Houston family and their friends can get back home and find that everything is as they left it! We are sure thinking about you!
Love & Miss you all!
