Blocker Boys On the Go!

     Ok it might seem a little overboard, but I am totally pumped.  The Zoo where we live is having a military appreciation day!!! That means we get to go to the zoo for FREE!

     Now while I am sure I will not have near as much fun as my two year old I am stoked.  He is going to LOVE it.  Currently he runs around our house pretending to be different animals.  I can only imagine his excitement with getting to see all the animals in person.  Then there is the obligatory petting zoo inside the zoo.  He is going to completely flip at the idea of petting all the animals.  I just hope the goats behave.

     I am not quite sure my husband shares the same enthusiasm about the impending zoo trip that I do.  He has duty the day before, and will need a nap before we go.  However I am certain that once he gets there, and sees the boys having a good time he will also have fun.  Little baby Ken, I have to use baby as long as possible because his first birthday is coming up.  Anyway little baby Ken will most like not think it is the best trip of his life, but he will enjoy riding in the stroller. Now I just hope the nice weather will hold out.

     Do you remember your first trip to the zoo? Maybe you have fond memories of your little ones first trip to the zoo.  Please leave a comment sharing your favorite moment at the zoo.

     The first thing I ever remember about the zoo was as family trip we took when I was little.  Being the oldest I was out prancing around, and being reminded to keep up with our group.  We had to stop for awhile at the hippo building.  Not that I don't like hippos, but it felt like we were there forever.  All because my little brother got covered in bird poop.  That is right he was the target of a fly by pooping.  I still remember this as being totally hilarious.  The good news is he was most likely to small to remember.  The bad news he hates being the center of attention.  Sorry man I had to share!  Maybe something awesome will happen on our first family trip to the zoo, and then I can use a new story.  Stay tuned for update next week all about the zoo.

     So lets hear it what is your best memory of the zoo.

     Well it appears all the guys are on the mend.  Thank goodness.  I was not sure how long I could hold out juggling the baby, and sanatizing everything in the house.  On the down side it is warm and muggy here, but wait it gets better, the AC is out AGAIN!!  I mean seriously this is the 4th time this year.  Now as for the holiday weekend going on, i am hoping the AC guy gets here Monday.  I am not in to sweating all day and night due to humidity. 
     Anyway got a lot done today overall.  The dogs got pedicures, dishes are done, and half the vacuuming is done.  So off to a good start for the holiday weekend.  Now if I can only keep the steam rolling all weekend I might get the entire to do list done.  Haha that will never happen.  The darn to do list is never ending.  So here goes hoping that the baby and I do not get sick, and that the housework keeps on rolling.

     Well K was grouchy most of the day.  So I was busy trying to stay somewhat sane with a screaming midget in the house.  While I was changing a diaper the cat comes up being all nice and rubbing on my legs like a good little cat.  As soon as I quit paying attention to the cat he hacks up a big hairball directly behind me.  The darn cat managed to do this twice today since he is such a little helper.  I think he waits for the worst time to do such things.
     Any way got the little man to go to bed a little late, but not bad considering how our day went.  Waiting on the hubby to get home.  He forgot to call so dinner was not ready to go when he got here.  I whipped up some torteloni in marinara sauce with green beans mixed in.  I find it much easier to get hubby to eat vegetables if I can mix it in to something.  If the veggies are in a seperate pan that clearly means that they are optional. 
     On a good not the community yard sale is coming up.  Two whole weekends in October to roam the neighborhood, and look for baby equipment for the wee one to grow in to.  The family back home is starting to ask about Christmas/New Year's plans.  If only the Navy would let me have this much time to plan.  All we know so far is which family we are visiting for which holiday.  Houston for Christmas, and the vallley for New Years.  Chalk it up to one more thing to start adding to the to do list.
     Well I am off to get a nice long relaxing shower and then off to bed for some reading!! Good night all!!

     Well today's good news, is that we still have renters for another month at the house in Virginia!!!!  That means not so much worry on the budget part.  I do hope they find new renters that want in before these guys decide to leave.  I think we are going to tell the property manager to up the rent which will work out even better.  So that was a big load off my plate in the money department. 
     The weather iscooling off so all the dogs found some long lost energy.  They have been running around playing like puppies for two days.  The cats on the other hand are looking for cuddly places to spend the days. 
     Getting the house ready for the sister in law to visit.  She is allergic to cats, so I will be scrubbing the cats and doing some extra vacuuming, and dusting.  I should probablly tell her thanks for coming so I get all this house work done.  Big plans for the weekend while she is here.  Photo shoot for the babies!!! Her little girl is four months younger than K.  Then getting ready for some scrapbooking and crafting.  It will be fun to have a little more girl energy in the house.
     K was pretty good today over all.  I mean for the day after shots he was awesome I suppose.  We made it out to get groceries, and other household stuffs.  Then he was well behaved while the AC/heater guys were here.  He also found it in his schedule to let me have time to call the DMV, and wait on hold for 16 minutes.
     Over all a very productive day in our little world.

     Man was today busy.  Up early and off to the pediatrician. That took 2 hours because of the million kids sick with the flu.  Thank goodness our pediatrician office has 2 waiting rooms(sick/well)!! Anyway poor little K got 4 shots and a liquid vaccine today.  He was such a trooper.  Of course we get home and he is grumpy for the rest of the day.  He went to sleep a little late, but he was up when daddy got home so good trade I guess. 
     So in between grouchy baby, and everything else!! I managed to wash all of the cloth diapers, and a load of dishes.  Then it was left-overs for dinner.  Sneaking in a little bit of blog work, and balancing the check book.  Tomorrow will be full of exciting stuff like paying all the bills oh joy!!

     Well today's big accomplishment was vacuuming the downstairs.  Mixed in with juggling the baby, and making dinner.  Thank you who ever invented the crock pot!! That kitchen gadget is so handy.  Dropped a chicken in covered it in potatoes, and add some spice.  Tada dinner made itself. 
     I think the little man is getting that second tooth right now he was clingy and grumpy all day.  That just means tomorrow should be very exciting.  I mean who would not enjoy going to the pediatrician for shots with a teething baby!!!  So I hope I get enough sleep tonight. I really am not anticipating anything fun tomorrow.  Oh and to throw it in we have/need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. 
     I posted a quick fun recipe on the up and coming cooking blog.  http://kitchenmixing.blogspot.com/  Swing by and check it out!!

     So I was just sitting here thinking that nothing got done today, and we did not go any where.  That leaves nothing to write about.  However upon further evaluation! I managed 2 loads of laundry, cooked a 3 course dinner, and entertained th baby today.  We also fit in a really fun bath time to today.  K love to play in the water.
     Best part of the day?  The AC started working again randomly.  The weather is not bad here it is just so humid it is miserable.  Anyway not much else got done as K was quite a handful today.

     Ok get up feed munchkin, make breakfast for hubby.  Put baby down for nap, clean up kitchen. Wait for baby to get up.
     Here is where it gets good.  Go to Wal-mart for lawnmower oil, and a few random things.  Get through store, check out put things in car.  Suddenly remember you do not have lawnmower oil.  The one thing you really needed.  Hike all the way back in to store to get such things.  Get home unload bags and now sleeping baby.  Get everything ready to go.  Now realize that you are extremely low on weed eater line.  Blah!! Go figure! Oh well guess it will take a while for the weed eater to get line now.  I hate going into Wal-Mart. 
     Anyway got it all done, and helped the hubby with some work so hopefully he can have some time off this weekend.  Now to get everything together for a baby photo shoot tomorrow.
