I Have Been Locked Out Of My Blog!

And just got back in today. This post is from 2 weekends ago - look for additional updates soon now that I can get back in!

We made a trip to the zoo on this lovely May morning where Cameron got to participate in a children's fun run.

In preparation, both boys loaded up on some sugar. They were handing out Popsicles at 8:45am and Danny is very fond of Popsicles . . .



Cameron was all smiles before and during the race, with the exception of about 20 seconds 10 minutes before the race when he was looking rather serious. When I asked him what the serious face was about, he told me that he was concentrating on how fast he was going to run!




The fire department turned on a fire hydrant during the race so Cameron had a blast running through it after the race. He got soaked and was literally the last kid to leave the water spray . . .




We ended our trip with a nice ride on the train. After every stop, Danny yelled "All aboard choo-choo!"



Yesterday, we went to a local strawberry festival where Cameron got to ride a camel. Unfortunately we only got one picture as it was a rather short ride. At $5/minute, this camel charged more than many lawyers I know!



Now, can you hear my screaming at the snake around Cameron's neck! I'm not very fond of snakes. Some well-meaning but rather misinformed individual saw my face while Cameron was holding this snake and told me that Cameron would respect me more if I held the snake as well. Uh, NO!!

Three Birthday Parties?

Danny is only 2 but we celebrated 3 times!! A few weekends ago, while Dennis' brother Michael was in town with his daughter, we celebrated Danny and Alexis' birthdays because they are only 8 days apart. The princess and conductor were happy to share the celebration . . .

















Then, last weekend, we got to celebrate again with Grammy, Grandpa, and Aunt Catherine. I must say, this kid really knows how to eat cake!













Depite all of the celebrating, we couldn't pass by the real deal without having MORE cake. However, lucky for everyone tired of seeing cake pictures, our memory card was full!!

What Do I Do All Day?

Do you ever wonder what a stay-at-home mom does all day? Almost anything ridiculous that you can think of . . .








And in case if you ever need to know, toothpaste and a scrub brush do remove Easter Egg dye!!
