4/26 - today was our busy day today. We slept in some. I went to get kiddos. We had to get a birthday gift. Then Kasey had to make a card and then practice piano. We had quick lunch at home.
I went to girl scout training for Twilight camp all afternoon. Kasey had a girl scout meeting at the Heard Museum which she thought was fun. Landon and Greg had soccer practice. Then Kasey had a birthday party. Landon played for a little while, but Greg, Landon and I went to dinner at Village Burger Bar while Kasey was at the party. I went back hung out some and then brought Kasey home.
4/25 - With rain during the week, Landon didn't have baseball game. We had some breakfast. Greg had to go to work for a while. Kids and I watched Castle then we got dressed to take Patch for a walk. Kids rode their bikes and we headed to Eriksson. I walked Patch around, Landon drove his remote control car and Kasey mainly hung out in the shade.
We got home and I took a shower. Greg came home and we went to lunch at Pot Belly.
Kasey, Grammy and I went to Merle Norman to have express make over and they took pictures of us. It was fun. We got to try some new things which was fun.
After that Grammy took the kids home to spend the night. Greg and I went to Trinity Grove to try a Spanish Tapas restaurant. It was really good, but not quite De Tapas. Afterwards we went to have a piece of cake which was ok. We then headed back closer to home to see a movie. We got to see Kingsman which is a comedy spi movie. i really enjoyed it and thought it was fun.
4/24 - Landon got knight of the week!
4/19 - We had a very lazy day. Kasey wanted to decorate my nails. I painted my toenails and let her decorate them. she used multiple colors and decorated each of them separately. Then Landon wanted to help. I told them each one could paint one of my thumbs. Kasey made a rainbow with multiple colors with a hat. Landon painted an owl.
4/18 - This week seemed to have kids downstairs more than normal. Landon had bad allergies in the middle of the night, and with spring storms Kasey comes down scared every time. No games today because to much rain. Greg went to FC Dallas game in the rain - ended up staying through several lightning delays and got home after 1am.
Kids and I had left overs at home then watched some movie/TVs.
4/17 - Landon played in younger Yankee scrimage. Tough game but Landon got an out at 2nd.
4/16 - I signed up to chaperone Kasey's field trip to Dallas World Aquarium. She was so excited that I was going. She sat with me on the bus. I had 5 kids, 3 girls and 2 boys. We started out the morning with one of the girls asking why my stomach was big. I told her everyone is different and thats ok. She asked if I ate to much junk food. I said maybe, she said her mom did.
We got there and walked all around. The kids were pretty good and enjoyed the animals. We got to see them feed the sloth which was cool. After the field trip I took Kasey out of school because we could. We went and had lunch the two of us at Freebirds - her choice. Then we had yogurt across the street.
4/12 - Someone's phone went off at 6:45am. We all got up, checked out the Elephant outside. We got packed up and headed to have some breakfast. Then we went to check out a few other animals which was cool. Kids got to pet a few of the animals and learn about them. We got free tickets for feeding giraffes. We went to put our stuff in cars and went back in a bit. Kids fed giraffe's then we went to Dino bird show. After that Landon and I went home to have lunch with Greg and Kasey
4/11 - We had soccer and baseball games. Tough game for Bengals, we had to leave a little early and rush to baseball. I drove and Landon and Greg changed in the back. Tough game, ended up losing by 1 run in the last inning. Boys played hard though.
That evening Landon's Pack was spending the night at the zoo. We got there and all had dinner outside. Then we headed in. We had a few tour guides who were really cool. One lady was a teacher who did this on weekend and they other guys was a scientist of some kind.. They were great asking the kids thinking questions and teaching them cool stuff about the animals. He was asking questions about flamingos. Apparently what we think of their knees actually their anchors. Kyle (one of tour guides) asked what else was different about them. Landon did a quick experiment and shared that he thought they stand on 1 leg to lean down for balance. He tried it and leaning down far on 2 legs was hard to stay up, but if you stand on one leg with the other going back you can balance. We all tried and agreed. I was proud of him :)
We had fun seeing and learning about different animals. We learned that owl feathers make little to no noise when they go through the air. We got to pet a few smaller animals. We got to have a snack and the kids ran around playing chase. We were staying in the big building in Out of Africa area. We all set up sleeping bags and then got to have smores.
Kids finally went to bed about 11. I went to sit outside where it was cooler and read some.
4/10 - One of my friends helped set up cameras for Animal Planet at the Dallas Zoo. One of the Giraffe's was pregnant and they were showing live feed of the birth and the baby. I signed up to get a text when she went into labor. Landon and Greg had gone to FC Dallas game, a friend had Kasey and I met them at Mi Cocina. While eating, we got a text that the giraffe went into labor. Giraffe's carry their babies for 15 months and have about an hour of labor, but they deliver standing up so the baby drops about 6 feet. We didn't get to see the birth live, but when we got home from dinner we got to watch the baby stand for the first time. It was pretty cool.
That night Greg and I watched the live feed some. Cool to watch the baby drinking moms milk, walking, etc.
4/6 - We booked our trip to Disney World and Universal Studios for the summer. I'm probably most excited but it will be fun.
4/5 - Happy Birthday to me! Greg let me sleep til 8 or almost 8. He went and got Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast. We all decided we like the little donut shop near us is better. We all got ready and met Grandma, Pops and Nanny at Ten50 BBQ for lunch to celebrate birthday and easter. Then we went back to Grandmas for a little while to have dessert. We had German Chocolate cake and kids had ice cream.
That evening Greg went to Dallas cup game with the boys. The kids and I had left over Chicken, dessert and I finally got them to watch Goonies. They liked it of course. Someday they will believe me that the old movies I want them to watch.
It was a good birthday!
4/4 - Landon and Greg left early for soccer pictures. Grammy and Gramps came to pick us up to head to soccer game. Bengals had a tough game but boys played hard. We had to leave a little early to get changed and get Landon to baseball. Boys played a good game and won in baseball. Landon got an out from short to first.
After games we went home for a while. We went to early dinner with Grammy, Gramps and cousin Nina at Babes. So good. Then we went back to Grammy and Gramps for ice cream cake. Kids go to play with Legos Grammy got them for Easter. Grammy and I got to have some wine and got to talk some with Nina which is fun. They boys watched basketball and maybe took a nap :)
4/3 - Greg went to Dallas cup game so kids and I died eggs and had dinner. Landon and I got Freebirds and drink from Sonic and ate at home. Kids had fun trying to make color darker. Landon added oil to make spotted with multiple colors. Kasey got to add glitter and a little bling. They enjoyed it.
4/2 - Since elementary school I've had a friend with my same birthday. We now have families and are all older. She's in Dallas for a little while so we planned lunch for early birthday celebrations for us and our moms. We went to Chocolate Angel in Plano which is always yummy. I had their famous spicy pimento cheese sandwich yum. Of course we had to share some desserts. Everything was yummy. It was fun catching up talking about getting older, Disney World kids etc. Good Times
