Weekend Round-Up/LONG Week

Someone tell me why I volunteered to do overtime…I am working from 6:00 AM until 5:00 PM.  11 hours  a day.  It is only Tuesday.  How many more days until Friday, I am too tired to do math in my head…

Ok, enough about my pity party.  We had  great weekend.  It was a busy one, but worth it!  Friday Matt took his girls to Olive Garden.  Gracie has a serious love for their breadsticks and salad.  We now go through 2 bowls when we go.  We haven’t been going out as much lately since we have a big move coming up (still no official word yet) but the never ending pasta bowl was too good to pass up.  Gracie and I share so it is a pretty good deal for the Cunningham’s. 

Saturday we went to the zoo.  It was military appreciation day so we thought we would take advantage of the discounted tickets and see some animals.  Each time we go it gets so much more fun with Gracie.  This time she kept pointing out the animals and saying “See em?”  You see em?” She did a great job while we were there.  We thought we would try our luck without a stroller.  Amazingly enough, she did fantastic.  She is growing up so fast and becoming such a big girl!!!

Getting as close as she can…or at least we will let her!

The lions were her favorite all day, of course they were the closest.  Thank goodness for the plastic between us! 

 

After our zoo adventure, the three of us met our friend Jamie for some swimming.  We are coming to the end of the summer with only 2 more weekends to enjoy the outdoor pool.  Gracie has gained enough confidence to let go while in a life jacket.  We are not to far behind of course, but she is quite the little swimmer.  I am hoping to get her into some classes next summer, she really enjoys the pool.  She has been such a water baby since she was 4 months old.  We have gone from this: to this:

If you have noticed, little misses’ hair has gotten so long!  I have been planning on getting it cute for weeks just haven’t had the time.  When her curls are pulled straight, there is a few strands that reach between her shoulders.  This coming from the little girl who was pretty much bald until she was 18 months!

Off to bed I go…how many more days did you say??????
