It's been a while since I have taken the time to post......life always seems to fly away from me, and before I know it, it has been two weeks.

I am happy to report, I am over my cold, and the kids never caught it. Yeah! That is always good news. We have muddled through school the last two weeks, doing just ever so little, but hey, we are in 'preschool' so it is OK. We have managed lots of fun activites though. As usualy we have had multiple play dates, church, and fun with Daddy. Seems like lately, our big thing is to play 'football' in the backyard. Although, Christopher has taken up golf and managed to hit a ball over the fence the other day. Right now, I am just thankful that we don't have many neighbors with windows facing our backyard.

My big focus right now is preparing to go to Europe. We picked up Mamo at the airport on Friday so I could get errands run this week. I fly out on Monday, and it seems like I scheduled a years worth of doctors appointments for this week. Of course, I cancelled my dentist appointment on Monday b/c of my cold, so I spent the day at the mall with some friends buying those 'last minute' outfits . Shameful, I know.

Today (or I guess I should say yesterday, since it is 3 a.m. on Wednesday)....we spent all day with friends. We met up with our church playgroup and went to the zoo. We got there about 9:30, and stayed until the thunder ran us off. The kids had a ball, but both the baby giraffe and baby elephants were no shows....I am not sure where the giraffe was, the elephant was behind all the construction. After the zoo, we headed to Chick-fil-a for ice cream and more play! The Mommies all sat and ate our ice cream, and then sat some more. It is AMAZING how the kids NEVER slowed down!

Today (Wednesday) we have nothing planned for the morning. I will probably try to do some school work, and then around 11 we have a little friend coming over to play (her Mommy has an appointment). At 2, I am working in a haircut, and then of course, we have church tonight.

Lots of rambling this morning....I guess it's the time....oh NO! That is what I do every day!

Here's some pics of the kids at the zoo! Thanks for reading!

A tiny bit more serious!

Hard to believe there is a REAL elephant just feet away, but this one you can climb on!

Time to cool off!

Last week Chloe found a new friend. We rescued it from drowning in our backyard pool. A baby lizard! She spent over an hour just carrying it around and 'babying' it. She LOVES animals!

Christopher got to hold the baby for a few seconds....of course, he thought that maybe the lizard was hungry, so his job was to pull all of Mommy's leaves off her plants to try to feed it! Ended up they made some kind of leaf soup and neither understood why he didn't gobble it up.

We also made plenty of time last week for 'dance'. Chloe LOVES 'The Barbie Princesses, 12 dancing princesses' Movie. She loves for me to just put on the music to it, and she dances all around. Apparently, the dishtowel was supposed to be her 'area' to dance.....but it is hard to concentrate on where you are standing, and give your best performance. I must admit, this is one of my favorite things to do. Watch her dance! Of course, we don't actually take lessons, I fear that she might give it up if someone was telling her how to do it. Maybe next year, we can get into that.

Hope yall have had a great week too!

London in 6 days and counting!
