May Eleventh

 

hmdc

After the visit on Thursday, I had Friday and Saturday off…

Friday I cleaned the house…

I guess I had energy from the relief of the visit being over…

On Saturday Son1 and DIL took me to lunch to the Japanese restaurant, Takumi, and they prepared the food right at your table… It was the first time I had been to one… Now I need to take hubby as he’s never been either… We had the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and veggies…

I had to work on Mother’s Day from 12:30-9pm…

On the morning of Mother’s Day, hubby made breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausages and English muffins…

Above are my cards from hubby, Son1 & DIL and Son3…

Pinwheels from hubby, the purple ones I already had… I don’t want to put them in the yard as I don’t want them to get messed up…

Birdhouse and cookies from hubby… Monogrammed purple bag from Son1 and DIL…

Son2 vacuumed the house for me and washed all the windows inside and out…

DIL was 25 weeks on the 9th…

I finally put the solar butterfly and dragonfly that I bought on clearance last summer out in the yard…

The moon on Mother’s Day on the way home from work…

I just looked up and the moon right now is full and bright…

It will actually be full tomorrow…

Off to take pictures of it…

Happy Journaling…

May Eighth

The main reason I was distracted after the A to Z challenge ended was because on May 8th, I had a regional footwear visit…

I worked seven days in a row… I was exhausted but my team did great and we looked fantastic…

They came, they saw, they talked, they suggested, they left…

cowboy diaper cake

These photos are from google…

I’m looking for ideas to make a diaper cake for the baby shower…

DIL is having a western theme and it is coed, meaning everyone is invited…

I bought the diapers and a few little things to hide inside…

And I got the ribbon to go around the outside…

Hubby and I are thinking this is what we will get for the baby shower for Son1 and DIL…

Hubby has been working on the baby shower invitation…

He will maybe use a kerchief for a border and denim for background…

He made the word cowboy out of a cow, wagon wheel, rope, etc…

He is drawing his own baby with a hobby horse…

These images are from google…

Hubby draws all his own artwork…

Trip to the zoo continued…

This pretty bird makes his nest in the ground…

IMG_0072_thumbIMG_0073_thumb

The turtle in the back either was pulling the guy in front of him back into the water or using him to pull himself out… either way he gave up and went back in the water…

I love turtles and this little guy was trying very hard to stay on the log but back in the water he went…

All was quiet among the flamingos until a fight broke out…

On May First we went to the zoo to see the baby tigers…

They are four months old…

There are four of them, two boys and two girls…

They were sleeping all over Mom…

The newest baby giraffe…

These two parrots always greet everyone as they enter the rainforest bird exhibit…

The little guy on the left said he wants to be a parrot too…

Of course the parrots told him NO…

IMG_0048IMG_0050

He wasn’t taking no for an answer and refused to leave…
