Zoo

The kids and I went to the zoo last week. I happened to remember the camera this time, but didn't remember to use it too often.

An unguarded goose nest. Very cool to see such big eggs up close.


Laura is always saying that she wishes she were a hen. I'm not sure why or where that came from, but at least she got her wish in a few pictures.


Adam - nap?


I just laid Adam down for a nap. We were partway through singing Twinkle Twinkle, when he burped. He thought it was hilarious and spent the entire song of Jesus Loves Me trying to do it again. Needless to say, he wasn't particularly relaxed and sleepy when I laid him down. Now he is up there saying "uh oh, uh oh, uh oh". I'm guessing he dropped something out of the crib.

Cow story

Um...

Hello. Stop eating my mom's garden, please.

No really, go home.

No, the other way.

Atta girl.

One day on our most recent OK trip, Dad and I tried to convince this cow to join her own kind on the other side of a neighbor's fence. With some help from a few other neighbors who knew more about cows and fences than we do, we succeeded.

Of course, that was after I followed her down their street, by myself, in my PJs, with the whole neighborhood on their porches laughing at me. Seriously, I needed some help.

Finally, an older couple came out, with a piece of twine they use as a leash for their chihuahua. Um. OK. You rope that cow and lead her home. That can be your job, lady.

And there were some scary houses that I just stood on the road watching while she perused the backyards. I wasn't about to snoop around the broken down cars and refrigerators.

The neighbors and I sent her back down to her corner where Dad and a neighbor were waiting with a low spot in the fence. And the fun was over.

The next day, on the way to church, we saw a black cow roaming the neighborhood, but Mom wouldn't let me get out to chase her. Bummer.

Go-cart

The go-cart I got 70% off in January. Score.



San Francisco Spoonmaker

Check out the Half Cups. Love love love them. But I'm pretty sure I would be too afraid to ever use one for fear of ruining it. Maybe I'll come across one in a thrift store some day....

The rest of the OK trip

I had such high hopes of separating these into different posts with stories, but its just not happening and I'm very far behind. So, in no particular order...




Waiting for the bags after we returned.
I repeat: No particular order

Sewing




















OK, the planting pictures were in order.


Etsy

I love Etsy. I got this email today:

Hi Jennifer,

It's ready to ship, it's ready to ship! Your bag is boxed up and will go out tomorrow via USPS Priority Mail 2-3 day delivery. It will arrive soon.

Thank you so much,
Sandy

Target has never sent me an email when I bought a purse from them! Of course, I hope I like the bag too, but its kind of wild. So I think I'm just not going to ask anyone for their opinion cuz I don't want to hear them say "ehhh...".

Anyway, I like buying from real people instead of Walmart. Not usually possible, but its fun when it works out!
