As some of you know I am allergic to my wedding ring set. :( My skin has a bad reaction to white gold worn over a long period of time. We tried everything the jeweler said to do, but none of it worked and we ended up getting a yellow gold wedding band for me to wear when my finger broke out. It works pretty well, and I just switch them out when I need to. Well, one day my finger was itching and I took off my wedding bands while I was cooking dinner. I set them on the counter. The next day I went to get them to put them up, and they were gone. I searched everywhere I could have moved them, and even some places that I've never put them before. They have been gone for a good 5 months. I was so upset, and I ripped our house apart looking for them, and they were no where to be found. After a couple of weeks of looking I told Michael. He wasn't really upset at all. Which, made me feel worse, because I was upset and I guess I wanted him to yell at me or something, but he didn't. He just said that he knew I didn't do it on purpose and these things happen.
Anyway, last night I was getting Alexis' money that she's been earning ready to roll. She's been doing little chores around the house all year, and we told her that she could use it for extra souvenir money on our trip. When I dumped out her change OUT. CAME. MY. WEDDING BANDS!!! Alexis said, "My pretty money yay!!" I was so excited I asked her if she put these in her piggy bank, and she said "Yes Mommy it's pretty money." I told her that it was not money they were my wedding rings and I thought I had lost them forever. It was so funny...well since all is well and I have them back. And I am so glad to have them back, and I will make sure I will put them where she can't reach them from now on!

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was fantastic at our house. Michael had to work that day so while he was at work Alexis and I were busy cooking up a storm, and watching the parades which she loved! Once Michael got home that afternoon we ate an early dinner, and then we headed out to go see Tangled. We all loved that movie! It was worth the drive in the rain. Ever since the Rapunzel dolls started coming out Alexis has been very excited about another princess movie, and she has talked about that movie ever since. We also found out that they've added Rapunzel and Flynn to the characters that you can meet at Disney, so if we get a chance to meet them in particular it will make Alexis the happiest little girl in the world. :)
That evening, well on Friday, we asked Michael's dad to come over and sit on our couch while Lexi slept, and Michael and I went to Wal-Mart at midnight to try to get Alexis a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep, they had a small one on sale. Michael had never been to a Black Friday shopping event, but I never miss them! When we got to Wal-Mart he was amazed at the number of people out, and I was thrilled that it wasn't as crowded as it could have been. I mean, there was still parking in the parking lot, so I figured we'd have a good chance. It seemed that Wal-Mart decided to keep the Jeep's in the garden center, of course, in the cold and I was glad we only got there 10 minutes early. And, then it began. The cellophane was ripped off the boxes and people went CRAZY. I stayed with the cart, and I sent Michael in the mix. My poor husband, he got knocked down, and I tried to see if he popped back up. Then he got hit in the head with a box on accident. Then he got a Jeep and got it ripped out of his hands. Then he turned around and there was one that was forgotten. :) We came out winners, but I did feel bad Michael got so beat up over a toy. But, as he has wanted Alexis to have a Jeep "like his" since the ultrasound tech. told us that our baby was a girl it was worth it. And it will be sitting in front of the tree when we get back from Florida all put together, because we can't fit it in the car. And she will love it! Michael said that he was glad to have gotten the Black Friday experience, but that he never wanted to do that again. :) So we went home, put the Jeep in our closet, and went back to bed. I was going to go back out to Little Rock later, but I wanted to sleep first, but that didn't happen because I just. was. too. excited!! So off I went to Little Rock, and hit up Toys-R-Us, Target, Old Navy, and Wal-Mart again. I got to each store about 2 hours after it opened so I dealt with no more craziness the rest of the morning. Oh, and when I got to Little Rock there were 2 Barbie Jeeps just like the one we got sitting on a shelf with no one around them...of course.
