Airplane!

Now, everyone take a really good, long look at this because Matthew did the BEST in his whole class as Jeff was informed by the teacher. The instruction was for them to trace the outline of the airplane as well as the letter 'A's across the bottom but they were NOT to color the picture. He was the only one in the class who followed the directions and he did it perfectly. Note the grand prize sticker at the top of the page! Yea Matthew! =)

Sweetly

Not all evenings around here are spent quite this sweetly, but this particular time they were playing very well together. I believe this is Candyland boardgame, but they have been playing 'teacher' some as well and that has been going smoothly so far! ha ha

Zoo!

We love love the Montgomery Zoo. It is soooo much more enjoyable than the Birmingham Zoo. We renewed our membership when we went this past weekend.

Jeff made a new friend with an Emperor monkey. They looked like little old Chinese men.

Mommy with her Sweet Man.

And Sweet Girl!

Matthew enjoyed the reptile house!

Madeline re-enacting the ant incident of 2005 that happened at this exact spot. She's always had horrible reactions to bug bites and that time ants got into her Crocs at this spot and bit her feet all over.

The anteater was Hi-Larious! Right in front of us he walked over to the water and farted on the surface, you can see the ripples in this picture. We laughed and laughed at that!

The leopards were very pretty!

Jeff with the lions. Don't get me started. Anyone who has not heard the now infamous lion story from when we were dating, please ask Jeff about it. So funny!

Matthew liked the rhino because he looked like a dinosaur.

I take their pic by this height chart every time so we can look back on it. I fully expect for it to be gone one time and I will be very unhappy!

Matthew is still talking about seeing the elephants.

Madeline liked the tigers.

We like the warthogs too. We always talk about how when Madeline was little she accidentally dropped her sunglasses over into the warthog pen and Jeff had to use a tree branch to fish them out. Then when I took her to the bathroom to clean them my own sunglasses fell into the toilet! ha ha

Matthew was worn out. He had already barfed once on the way down from car sickness and we had to pull over about 5 times. On the way home he fell asleep after drinking some red gatorade and it looked like a vampire so I had to take his pic! =)

Girl Scouts

Madeline has joined Girl Scouts and loves it. They meet every other Monday night for an hour. At the first meeting they all brought games to play and of course we took Uno.

This is the farewell song they do at end of each meeting. It's the same one we did back when I was a Brownie and I still remembered the words! ha ha

Peach Park

Jeff snapped a picture of Matthew by one of the Peach Queens to aggravate me. The expression on Matthew's face is priceless!

I made a peach cobbler with the peaches we got.

Playing At Peach Park

Matthew ate that cone down to a nub!

Peach Park Ice Cream

Last weekend we went to Peach Park in Clanton for some produce, peanuts and ice cream.

Their peach ice cream has nothing on yours Aunt Melanie!
