Girls Trip to the Zoo


Today we took advantage of the beautiful weather and $5 admissions at the Zoo! It was perfect! We fed the giraffes, watched the cheetahs do their training, and petted some goats. You would think all the activity might encourage Miss Adalyn to make her debut, but I think she is quite content where she is. Right now Anna Grace and I are enjoying the fact that we can take a 3 hour nap together after a busy morning. There won't be much of that once Adalyn arrives. Now we are waiting for Daddy to bring us dinner because we are to tired to cook!

Spots Are Overrated...


Or are they? Well, apparently Lady Bug Spots are not nearly as exciting as I thought. While Halloween was wonderful, miss Anna Grace decided she did not want to participate in the costume wearing extravaganza.

On the other hand, Giraffe Spots are GREAT!

Saturday Morning we took our first trip to the Dallas Zoo and it was a hit! The giraffes and Lions stole the show. In the new addition to the Zoo, "The African Savannah", you can even feed the giraffes! Next time we might sneak in our own lettuce.


Staring at the Lions. Roarr!


Check out the giraffe's on her outfit!


This is a little sheep made out of pumpkins and veggies. Isn't he cute?



After a nice nap, we headed over to Cici and Pops' house for a block party filled with treats, a bounce house and even the Fire Truck!


Saturday evening was Shelbi's birthday/Halloween/Ranger's game watching party. It was amazing! The decor was like out of a magazine. You can check out more pictures on her blog's here and here. Below are the boys dressed as Wiggles. Anna Grace didn't even care.

Sunday morning we went to a Halloween "Boo" brunch hosted by the Blackwell's. It was so much fun to see sooo many tiny costumes! Anna Grace might not have worn hers, but she sure loved seeing all of the other ones. To see more of the cuteness check out their blog here.


Sunday evening we hosted out 2nd Annual Halloween Block Party and it was a success! It is great to mingle with all of the neighbors before the trick-or-treating starts. I made chili, Aaron grilled some hot dogs and everyone else brought a side or treat to share.


The Goblin cheeseball my creative momma made.


All in all, it was a great weekend filled with lots of fun, family, friends and food! What more could you ask for?
