What a weekend!

As I write this… In the passenger seat of the family truckster, we are closing the end of a great weekend.

Jeffie was able to get Friday off from work, I was able to find cheapish hotel tickets, and the Puppy dog had all of his shots up to date. It was the perfect storm coming together.

It’s Friday morning, 7 am. Jeffie’s Uncle Greg was in Mobile, AL prepping, and would be wearing his arm out in 12 hours for Mardi Gras. We intended to see that.

(warning… Don’t read anymore if you don’t have high speed. More pictures than any post prior….)

Yesterday, we hit the Rainforest Cafe after Dance. The kids loved it. Those pictures are here:

Rainforest Cafe

Mary woke up in the morning wanting to go back for a Volcano… It’s obviously going to be a challenge to keep this a special treat. :)

Today has been a good day. A cold day, but good none the less.

You’ve heard of the Dog days of summer?

These are the dog days of Winter. It’s a bit different than yesterday.

Who needs a cat?

Combine one laser pointer (conveniently located on an iphone charger) and one 11 week old German Shepard pup. Add two toddlers, shake, and enjoy. This video has been edited, as toddler B decided that he would pursue the red dot as well. Since I don’t care for a visit from the FBI, that footage has already been deleted.

Zoo Time

Jeffie had to cover a shift at the Library on Saturday, so we took advantage of her being off on Friday to head to the Zoo. If was a real nice Fall day. Since the temperatures were down, we had hoped that the animals would be more active.

That didn’t really happen, but everyone had a good time anyways. Ghouls at Grassmere (The halloween programs) kicked off Friday night, so they were doing all of the setup for that. The kids really enjoyed that, although both of the parents weren’t above holding trick or treat at the zoo ransom for the kid’s good behavior.

We’re going to head back tonight! Updates to follow.

The Kids Surprise, Part 3 – The Unveiling

Ok, So this is about 24 hours later than I wanted, and apparently 25 hours later than some would have wanted, but the video is finished processing.

And unfortunately, much like Star Wars and the Matrix, the third episode isn’t as good as anyone would have wished.

(Or at least the post isn’t… The kids unveiling was just fine)

Weenie Dogs! and the rest of the week

I had emails from my mother in Jasper, AL about her upcoming medical procedure on Tuesday and telling me about my Grandmother Wells (MawMaw) being in the hospital for heart trouble. Greg and I did a quick consultation and decided that the best thing to do would be to take the kids for a quick visit on Monday to see both of them. MaryVic was thrilled because it meant she got to go to Nana’s and run with the weenie dog herd. William didn’t really know what was going on but if Momma and Sister were going, he was going with them!
