Labor Day Fun


We had a GREAT Labor Day. Don't worry, it is MONDAY, so I spent the morning cleaning the house while John WHINED that he hated having Monday's off work because then he had to help CLEAN. (He helped by pulling on the vacuum cord while I was attempting to vacuum, and making sure the shelf scarf was NOT straight, etc.) After the house was SPOTLESS, we went to the Zoo. Luckily, the weather cooperated and we had a great time. Easton called every animal we saw a DOG, but hey, for him that is pretty impressive. Hailey told us she is totally not into MONKEYS, and wanted to see the other animals, and apparently, Coleton is afraid of Gorilla Statues. He had a fit when we wanted him to sit on the shoulder of the Gorilla in the picture. John is standing behind to hang onto Coleton so he would sit there. (What we won't do for a picture.) When we were walking away from the statue, John said to Coleton, "THE GORILLAS ALIVE," and Coleton jumped ten feet high. He did not think John was funny. After the zoo, we celebrated my nieces birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKALYN! I can't believe how old you are getting.

Monday I also my cleaning day, but if Rob is home and wants to do something fun I don't think twice. . .then I clean Tuesday.

The Gorilla thing was funny. Scaring the kids sounds like my husband. He now has my four year old scared to flush the toilet and my eight year old convinced aliens look in the window at night!

We love the zoo. When we take Banks, he calls everything a duck! Each time he gets a little better. My kids love the statue, just not the gorilla on the wall that you can stand next too. That one freaks them out! It is fun to see your family.
