Lions and Tigers and S'mores, Oh My!

I went into this weekend thinking we really didn't have much to do - and we ended up super busy! We decided to go to the zoo on Friday - it was a beautiful day and we were hoping that it wouldn't be super crowded. And it wasn't! It was nice for Wade to be able to come and see how excited Keira gets about the animals. The picture below is my favorite!

Oh and don't let me forget - as it seems everything here is - it was an eventful trip to the zoo. We got there just before it opened, so for quite a bit of time we were the only people we saw. Well we headed over to the Australia section - it was very wooded. We rounded a corner and there were Kangaroos in the middle of the path. 5 of them, just hanging out in the middle of the path. When the saw us, they all stood up and just looked at us.

Wade and I kinda freaked. We assumed they escaped somehow, but there was no one around to tell. We were afraid that they were territorial, so we didn't want to move forward, yet we were afraid to turn our backs on them. Finally, another family came up behind us who had been to this portion of the zoo before and they said that this was normal. They let the kangaroos roam free. And sure enough when we got close enough, they all hopped away. Really weird! Keira rode the carousel again and really loved it this time. She actually rode one of the animals this time and was all smiles.

We got invited to a barbeque at the neighbors on friday as well. We all had a good time - it was us, the next door neighbors, and the two neighbors next to them that came. All of them have kids between the ages of 2 and 5. All the kids got along well and had a good time! We went to the pool first and Keira was teaching the other girls the hokey pokey and the alligator song. It was nice to get to talk more with everyone and start to make some friends.

Saturday I made Wade help me clean out/organize the storage room. Ugh. I thought it was about and hour project - turned into 2.5 hours. No fun - but it's done and I'm happy!

We went and got ice cream at some point this weekend, I can't remember when. We went to Dairy Queen because I saw a commercial for a Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint Blizzard. It was yummy. Not quite as good as my usual, but still yummy. Keira enjoyed eating out of both mom and dad's bowls.

Sunday, Wade got time to tend to the yard, so he was happy and we just sorta bummed around today and ran some errands, I did my CVS shopping (good Olay deal girls!) and some more reorganization of furniture in the house.

Wade is out of town most of this upcoming week, so Keira and I are busily trying to plan some activities. Monday we have our first MOMS club meeting - hopefully this new club will be half as good as my old one ;) Tuesday we have a playdate with one of the neighbors (this neighbor invited us to his son's b-day party that is saturday, he'll be 4). Wednesday we are either going to hit the mall, the children's museum, or a local pool that has the bubbler things. I am sure there will be lots of pictures!

Oh and don't let me forget - we made s'mores on the grill too this weekend. Of course, Keira loved them.

I need a new haircut ... anyone got any ideas? At the moment, I am going to cut it all off myself with some scissors :)

That's all for now - hope ya'll had good weekend. Miss ya!
