A Little Bit of Everything

Second post in, & I'm already slacking.  I need to try to get a little better at posting on here...

We've had a busy few weeks around here.  T came home, Z started preschool, & we started remodeling our bathroom.  It's been really weird having Z gone 5 mornings a week.  I really miss him, but man is it great to have a quiet house.  Even if it only lasts a few hours.

He insisted on wearing his sunglasses in his first day pictures.  He puts them on, & tells me, "cool, dude."


Then, he flapped his "wings," & pretended to be a bird.




This is just so him.




He is loving school so much.  His favorite "messon" (lesson) is snack.  That seems to be the only one he can ever remember.  He also likes to talk about playing in the "back yard" at school.  That's what he calls the playground.

His teacher gave him a bag to decorate, & make his own.  So, we busted out the paints, & went to town.


A did a little painting, too.



I didn't get a picture of the completed bag.  This one was about halfway through:




A & I have spent most of our free time cleaning the house.  But, we've still made time to go to Zoo Tales at the Virginia Zoo & Babygarten at the library.  Here she is just being a ham.



The zoo is one of our favorite places to visit.  We go there a few times a week.  This is A's impression of a tiger:


We had a monkey come right up next to us, & eat out of his box of food.  He would take a few bites, then drop it to the otter.  After a few times, the otter started to beg.  A kept laughing & pointing at him.  We also got to see the monkey pee.  Doesn't get much better than that.


They were doing some work on the giraffe enclosure, so we got to watch them up close.  This was definitely the best part of the day



Maybe someday soon I'll get more responsible, & stick to something I start.  But, knowing me, someday may be a long way away.
