Fall Fun

This past week I've done some fun things with the kids but didn't bring my camera because I didn't think that there would be many photo opportunities because I had to juggle the kids by myself. But of course I was wrong and now I'm kicking myself for it. First we went to Hogle Zoo on Wednesday. It was just me and the kids because Daniel was working. Last time we all went as a family and it was in May and it was so hot. The animals were not active and Blake fell asleep so you can tell how much fun he had. This time was ten times better, I only wish that Daniel would have been there. The weather was so much better and the animals were so fun to watch. Blake's favorite was the monkeys and Jayla loved the zebras. I loved the leopard and the tiger. The leopard kept passing in front of us and once in a while would stop and stare at us. When we got to the tiger it was growling and I thought that was really cool. We'll have to see if we can go again before the weather gets too cold.

Tonight we went Trick-or Treating with their friend Annie and her mom and dad. Daniel really wanted to join us but he has been sick and didn't have the energy. I feel bad that he's missing out on fun stuff but I just keep thinking that in four days he gets a two week vacation in Uruguay so my pity doesn't last long. Anyway, Blake and Jayla had so much fun. Jayla and Annie would run to every door and knock on it themselves. Blake would get so excited walking up to the door and get the hugest grin on his face. He got the hang of things and started grabbing the candy out of the bowl himself. This was the first Halloween that I've had fun in a long time. I've kind of been a party pooper about it and in some ways I still am. Hopefully when the kids get older and we have our own house that I'll get more into it. But now that Halloween is over I can start listening to Christmas music. Yay!
