A ZOO-RIFIC Day

Our house was on the market and we had a full day of showings so we needed to get out of the house from about 10:30 until 6:00.  That is a long time to be out with an a 16 month old and no great place for a nap.  We started off pretty boring with an oil change, but it got much better from there.  We grabbed some lunch at Christina’s, went to the Ellis’, then headed to Dallas for a trip to the zoo!  When we got to the zoo we learned they were closing in one hour and considered not going, but they had $5 admission since it was winter so we went for it. 

Greyson and I ran from exhibit to exhibit for the hour and had a ball!  Paul and Piper sat in the car hoping Piper would nap a little, but that did not happen.

My attempt at portraits

So I needed a recent picture of Piper to include in her birthday invitation so I thought I would try to take them on my own.  Of course Greyson did not want to be left out.   When Greyson was little I thought I could take some decent pictures, but I have not had much luck with Piper.  Here is the final birthday invitation.  You can tell the two on the left were taken by a professional :)

What a weekend – Disaster x4 – Parenthood at its best

So maybe disaster is a strong word, but we definitely had four hiccups.  1.  We kicked the weekend off on Friday evening with a drive to a work BBQ Cook-off in West Arlington.  I underestimated traffic to say the least.  While on the highway, Greyson started saying “I have to go Tee Tee real bad!  Right now!  I have to go!  Right now!”  We tried to convince him he could hold it, but were obviously not successful.  He went in his car seat. 2.  After finding a local Target to buy Greyson some new clothes, we hit the road again to the BBQ.  When we arrived I started getting Greyson’s clothes changed and Paul went to get Piper out.  Well – she had an accident also.  Her diaper had leaked all over her pants.  She went to the BBQ (with my clients and co-workers) without any pants on. 3.  On the way to church this morning I shared my granola bar with Greyson.  He took too big a bite and threw up all over hims...
