Zoo Rendezvous



Nothing compares to people watching at the Zoo, especially at the Zoo Rendezvous. It is even better than the State Fair. This is such a fun event. It is for adults only. Entertainment, live music, animals out and about, and the few people I mentioned. Great food: Ruth's Chris, PF Changs, Donovan's, The Wild Grape, Flemings just to name a few. We got to ride around the zoo in a golf cart. Brett even was baffled by the magician. And there is something to say about riding the carousel with no kids.....it somehow brings out the kid in you.

La Familia

Brett hates familyshoots. Hates them. I have to laugh, because for a joke this year, I made him take this with me:
Didn't love it, hence the look he isgiving me while I laugh at him in this:
Havingsaid that, I thought it went well over all. My girls were sick the night before and then KK threw up that night. Very difficult to get a smile from her.

Let Freedom Ring






I just keep thinking how I have all this freedom now that the kids are gone all the time and in school. Laughing, laughing, laughing. Honestly, my life is more crazy now then it was before. I do get 2 hours once a week where all of the kids are gone. I say only once a week because the 2nd day KK is in school, I will be sleeping after 12 hours of blissful work. I will only get to sleep about 3 hours before I have to go get the girls from school, so really it isn't much. She just barely started, so maybe I will find these 2 hours more productive than I did yesterday. It really isn't much time to get much done. I barely made it into the shower. Between helping T-man with homework and running carpool everywhere, I don't find this freedom that everyone says comes. Maybe when they all are gone for the full day and I don't have to work, will I really feel like this statement has meaning in my own life. I felt bad about the older 2's pictures. It started to rain, and thunder and it was really cold the first day of school. The pictures I think show how dismal it really was. Maybe I should try to take some more, but does that really count?
