Last Week

Last week we had some busy days.
One morning I went outside & thought "It's not so hot out! We should go to the zoo!"
That was at 6am, so by the time we got to the zoo at about 8:30 it was a bit warmer out.
Because we have a zoo membership (the best purchase EVER) we get to go into the zoo an hour before they open. We did discover though that a lot of the animals were locked away so that they could clean out the cages and stuff. But by 9 they were all out. 

I love crinkled nose smiles! 

We probably spend the most time at the zoo with the monkeys. There are about 5 different monkey exhibits and we make sure to hit all of them. When we got to the baboons they had just let them out to eat so we watched for a LONG time. 

Every time we see the Mandrills I think of Rafiki in Lion King.

And more monkeys....
Although Preston was more interested in the ducks then the monkeys. 

Jaxton didn't last the whole trip, but he did SO good.
This is the last picture we'll ever have of this pacifier as it got lost somewhere between the storks where we took this picture and the Kangaroo statue.
Fair thee well old Pacifier. We shall miss you and morn our loss. 

Later in the week we shook things up by adding bubbles to the bath.
Normally I don't do this since the boys bathe together and Jaxton tries to eat them.
This time was a little different.
He was very confused by them, and fascinated.
And then he tried to eat them. 

And lastly on Friday we had a Primary activity that was a "Drive in Movie".
Friday was an insane crazy busy day for me- 

Grocery store, decided at the last minute to make Preston a car (long story), setting up at the church for 2 hrs, getting the boys down for naps, lunch, painting the car/wheels, having to go rescue my sister who's tire blew out on the freeway and then drive her to work in Tempe & home, losing our back up pacifier (dont worry, it was found hours later!), finishing the car, bribing Preston to get IN the car with promises of gum, making dinner, rushing to go to the church, going back for the movie & water cooler I forgot, picking up ice, activity, cleaning up, home, boys in bed, working out, shower, SLEEP. Whew.
But in the end it was a good day. 

Here is his car that I threw together in a few hours. I modeled it after Guido from Cars. He would have preferred Lightning McQueen, but we didn't have red paint and I wasn't about to go buy some. 

This week is going to be just as much fun I'm sure! We have family coming in from out of town, HOORAY!!!!, playgroup, gotta start getting Halloween costumes assembled, more working out, and for fun a Justin Bieber concert :D
