Zoo

I decided to take my dear, sweet, adorable kids to the zoo this morning. I am not sure what their deal is, but they were at it yet again this morning! I did hear them start to fight as I was getting out of the shower. I heard Kotah yell, hey mom! I said if you plan on tattling, I DO NOT want to hear it!! She said, no, I just wanna tell you something. In her words, tattling. ;o) So I finished and then came downstairs and Kotah is sitting on Skylar's bed, and Skylar and Gavin are sitting on Kotah's bed. (Gavin also has the shovel thing from the fireplace and Skylar has the broom...) I hear Gavin say, Miss Lisa, can I open the suitcase? :O) Skylar then fusses, NOOOO, I wanna! ( I SWEAR she said that!! :OP) But after I was down here for 10 minutes, they were at it yet again. I am wondering if it is because we haven't really gone anywhere? I mean, yeah, the park, zoo, Science Center, a store here and there, and then got them the pool, but haven't gone GONE anywhere. (make sense?)
We got to the zoo and I realized that I wasn't the only one in Des Moines who decided to go to the zoo!! This is the 1st time in 2 1/2 years that I had to park in the 2nd parking lot. But it was fun! I packed some pb and j and we had a picnic after we went through the zoo.




This is Skylar's hand!!! She wanted to feed the Llama!!!! YEAH! That is a FIRST!!!! :O) Gavin did stay in the stroller though! :O)





Roise and JP are going to be there til the 13th of this month, if you haven't gone to see them, GO!!! So cute!!! :O)

Skylar watching the elephants!! She LOVES them!!!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
