A day at the zoo

Monday the kids got to go to the zoo in Greenville. Some friends of ours were brave enough to take them! Before the zoo they took them to IHOP for breakfast and I was told they were angels there! One woman even commented on how well behaved they were...I still don't think she was really talking about my children but that is what I was told!

When they arrived at the zoo Gavin got freaked out in the gift shop on the way in but once they got past all that scary stuff he was okay! When they went in the petting zoo section Gavin had to be carried because he is easily spooked but Abby was brave and went on her own!

Tuesday was Patrick and I's 8th wedding anniversary! To celebrate I went to an Uppercase living party with a friend and Pat got to watch the kids! We actually celebrated a couple weeks ago when we went to see Trace Adkins:) The Uppercase living party was a lot of fun but now I have to try to make some decisions on what I want to purchase! I cannot afford to purchase everything I would like to! So tonight I will go home and do some measuring and imagining and hopefully have my order ready!

Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday I took the kids to the NEW Zoo. The plan was to meet a friend and her kids there but it didn't work out so it ended up being just me and the kids! Overall they did really well. We took a break to share some popcorn and water and Abby is not a big fan of sharing! Everytime Gavin tried to get some popcorn she would scream. Gavin on the other hand is very good at sharing with his sister...but I am not sure if he likes sharing or just doesn't like hearing her scream!

On Sunday we were supposed to have pictures taken at a park in Neenah but the weather didn't cooperate so we have to reschedule. I was not too upset about this because Gavin's mark on his face from when he fell at daycare was not cleared up yet so hopefully he will have a nice mark free face for the rescheduled date! In the afternoon the kids went to visit Grandma & Grandpa Kennedy while we went to Celebrate De Pere for a few hours. The weather was great while we were there...it didn't start to rain until after we left. It was nice to have a few hours with no kids to just sit and relax and listen to some bands.

Monday was a very long day! Gavin was up a lot Sunday night coughing and did not take a very good nap on Monday so he was really over tired and crabby all day. Abby was also a bit cranky so there were lots of tantrums and crying at our house on Monday.
