happy almost end of the week my lovelies…i am so excited for this weekend. i might even make some potato chowder and homemade bread bowls. yum!

i found this on my friend jens blog…we had a “girls day out” last may. jen, jade and i went to altoona to an arts festival and then out to dinner and did some shopping. on our way to altoona we stopped at a place from our childhood, forrest zoo. i can remember going there when i was very little and just loving it. i remember one time i was afraid to feed the elephants because they just looked sooooooo BIG to me. so my dad lifted me up on his shoulder and fed them for me. i can remember going there with all our family and my cousins and i playing. and what i remember most of all was the little place across the road. i believe it was called storybook forrest. it had these little mini houses from fairy tales (7 dwarfs, snow white, old lady that lived in a shoe). and i always wanted to go in those houses soooooo badly, but i dont ever remember us being allowed to go in. it closed about 15 years ago, they weren’t feeding their animals i believe or some charge like that. and they have just let the place get run down.
anyways, jen and i stopped to take pics of it. and because joe would never stop long enough for me to go in. he was all scared of me going past the “no trespassing” sign and hopping over the fence. such a wuss huh?

so jen, jade and i nosed around a little bit. and as luck would have it miss jen had her camera with her!!!
this is the building on the zoo side. we snuck in the door and nosed around a little bit. hey, there weren’t any no trespassing signs that we could see.

and this is the other side of the road where the little houses were. as you can see it has grown up quite a bit. this is the house of the old lady who lived in a shoe. i was so excited, while jen was taking the picture i ran ahead and around the back. oh.my.gosh…there was a door that i could go in…i have waited my whole entire life to go in one of these houses!!!!!

i walk in the shoe and…what the heck…this is the first thing i see. someone was smokin’ it up inside the old ladys shoe. is there just something not right with that? i’m sure THEY thought it was totally funny. i, on the other hand, was totally let down. i guess in my mind when i walked in it there would be something magical, like the old lady in a rocking chair with kids all around. hey give me a break guys, i’ve been waiting since i was like 5 to go in one of these houses…lol. nope, nothing magical, just this……

out for now ya’all~kisses

happy hump day…

so the week is half over…woo hoo…i can’t wait for the weekend. this weekend i actually dont have much going on, imagine that. friday night joey has a birthday party from 5 – 10 and jade has a dr appt at 4. saturday jade has a birthday party from 1 – 3 and that’s all for saturday. so super excited about “almost” a full day at home!!! and sunday we have the usually football game, it starts around 5:30. this will be the closest i’ve had to a free weekend in what feels like forever.

i have a new feature on my blog…over there ———————->

can i get a whoop whoop…

for FOOTBALL SEASON!!! yes, i’m not a big fan of football on tv…but when it’s my kids out there i can sure hoot and holler with the best of them (even though i still dont understand the game 100%)…i finally edited some of the pics from their first game. enjoy 🙂
here he is running out onto the field before the game, right after they called his name (and his mama yelled like a freak lol)

this is right after he came out of the huddle…he is center so he calls the huddle then comes out first (i do understand that much)
and miss princess jade…she was so excited to cheer, although you can’t tell it from the look on her face here lol
yes, we’ve had HUGE issues over how short the shorts are…she HATES them and normally when mama isn’t looking she hikes them down to her hips so they are longer. she does NOT want the tops of her legs showing. and she doesn’t care that the other girls shorts are like that too. now lets hope she always stays this modest. (i know bec, she didn’t get this from her mama did she?)

out for now
