This weekend we went to the zoo. The past couple of weeks, I have ended up at the zoo at least twice a week. In fact Elly, Jeremiah and I were back today. Not that I
mind it is a pretty neat zoo, and we have a pass, so there isn't any reason not to go. Elly's favorite part is still the monkey's and the rain forest. We went and looked at most of the outdoor animals, since we haven't seen them all winter. The kids seemed to have a good time. They like to be able and get out on the weekends. Helps to keep them a little bit occupied. They only have 7 days left of school. They get out the middle of next week. They are getting excited about summer break. They are even more excited about the fact that we
are going to Colorado the day after school gets out. They can't wait to see their cousins and grandparents. I am ready to have someone to go get soup and salad for lunch at the Olive Garden. Not really something that the kids are excited to eat, and I have no friends, and I don't really want to go all by myself. I would say that I would rather not broadcast to everyone the fact that I have no friends, but I just did. So, Mom, that is what we are doing when you finally get back ( I can't believe you scheduled to go to Washington when I get there, I though
t I was your favorite daughter). We went to a ward activity. It was their Ocho De Mayo, they had Taco's and Pinatas and fun stuff for the kids to do. And Ashleigh even found out that the little boy she
likes her back. It is cute, or at least it will be until she is old enough that she isn't too shy. I can't believe that I am old enough to have kids that are old enough to have crushes. How the heck did that happen? Mother's Day was pretty good, even though Glen isn't here. Of course it would have been better if he had been. We got to church and the the counselor said Happy Mother's Day, and my kids are like "
Today is Mother's Day?", the people behind us just started cracking up. They thought it was pretty funny. I felt bad for Ashleigh though because she felt terrible, she had
apparently planned on making me breakfast in bed, but thought that she still had a week. She was really upset. The kids each made something at either school, or church, and Glen sent a card, so I was not completely forgotten. Elly picked me flowers. They were dandelions that had gone to seed, but she made sure that she got water and put them in it, so that "they would grow a little bit more". I now have dandelion seeds all over my kitchen, but it was awfully cute. So I took a picture of all of my little gifts. So that takes us through week four
of Glen's deployment. It sure seems like it should be longer than that, but too bad for me. 6 more weeks to go. We are getting close to the halfway point. Hopefully the second half goes by a little faster than this first half.
