Memorial Day Weekend

Love, love 3-day weekends. Wish they all could be like that! We had such a relaxing weekend with only a few scheduled committments. We didn't make it to the pool this weekend for opening weekend but we did head over to Grammy's house for the slip-and-slide (kids only :) me on a slip-and-slide...not a pretty site!) on Sunday I guess it was. Took Adeline to Night at the Museum 2 Monday in town. It was great. Kurt and I even were able to sit out on the front porch once the kids were in bed and enjoy a few beers!

Garrett we think is teething again. He's not eating well and a tad crankie (sp?). Adeline...well she's a tad sassy. Really need an intervention with the child!!

Busy week this week....work, travel, field trips, circus, birthday parties. Camera is in the fix-it shop so photos might be slim for a while. We're pulling out one of our older digital cameras but the batteries are frustrating.

Saturday Fun

The kids and I went to Wildlife this morning. Daddy was mowing (again!). It was such a great morning. The animals were active and the kids were excited to go for the first time this season. Even better was that it was right at opening and before the crouds.

2-things that bugged me though.....while at the playground Addie's sandle had fallen off her foot. She sat there whining and fussing for me to get it for her. I told her that when she could use her manners and kind words I would help her. After 5 minutes, another women (maybe 60s) came over and said "Honey, do you need your sandle? Here you go." I was astonished! The women never looked at me but I just politely said I appreciate her help but was wanting my child to use her manners and be respectful. Seriously!

Another thing was the kids were so excited to ride the train. We've been members of the park for 3 or so years now and they love this part. We didn't have tickets and you can just buy them there. There was no ticket person but the conductor (I guess it was) was there. He told us we had to wait for the person from the admissions gate to come over when they're not busy. We ended up leaving after 20 minutes. He couldn't have just taken my $3 and "bought" the tickets later? Seriously!

Off to Pumpy and Grandma Janet's tonight...cookout, bouncer, pond, 4-wheeler. Fun!

Mr. Garrett has been quite the monkey lately! :) He has been climbing on everything including his crib. Saturday, we decided to go ahead and remove the front rail of his crib. So long crib...hello toddler bed! He's done pretty good so far!

Little man's first sleep in the big boy bed!
