The last of the nice days...













Last Saturday was BEAUTIFUL! We decided to make the most out of it and head out to the zoo. It was our last real weekend with Shawn before he headed out to do his amazingly adventurous job! (Lots of traveling benefits:) We got there right when the zoo opened and it was perfect. The boys had been locked indoors for far too long after recovering from the flu. We all needed a change in scenery. It is so fun to watch the boys run,play, and tell me about all the animals. They are getting so big so fast! Ever so often, I am surprised by their obvious physical growth. We had a wonderful time complete with Joe T's afterwards!


The week trudged on and we were then happy to see another weekend. We went to visit my sister in McKinney. The boys were so excited to see their cousins! My sister and I began talking about the Twilight books and my Mom seemed interested. We then decided to make it a movie night and show my Mom what all this was about:) Of course with two elementary boys and two toddlers, focusing on the romantic aspect of Edward and Bella is not so easy. Either way, I think my Mom somewhat enjoyed it. We had a great time! I am so looking forward to New Moon, but am certain Shawn will not be accompanying me:(


Either way, I am on survival mode. We have not had a break since the beginning of school and I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving break!!!! The cool air has arrived and I am ready for fall mode.
