Silly Daddy, Swing Sets Are For Kids!

Shaving

Zuri LOVES to shave with Daddy. :)

Ready to go

After dinner with Shawn and Paul at Jockamo tonight, Zuri was ready to go.  It took some time, but I finally talked her into getting into her car seat. Okay, maybe I had to put her in it kicking and screaming.....

Bye-Bye Swing Set??

Brent and I woke up at 3:30am because of the storm. We looked outside and saw the newly completed swing set on its side. After work, Papaw John came over to see if there was any damage. He and Brent were able to get it back up and anchored down again. There was minor damage. I'm glad that was the only damage we had. Zuri is happy to have the swing set back up. Brent said when they got home and she saw it, she was upset and asked him to fix it. :)

Papaw John #1

Papaw John watched Zuri last night so Mommy and Daddy could go out.  Papaw sent Mommy this picture.  It took a minute to realize Papaw John Zuri had written something new on her chalk board.  If you can't read what it says towards the top, it says "Papaw John #1".  I didn't know Zuri could write already.  ;o)

Let me out of here!!!

Muffins, Lobsters, Swingsets, Oh My.....

When I dropped Zuri off at school Friday, they had Muffins for Mommies and a special gift the kiddos made each of us.  It was very sweet!

Here's a picture of the table.

Zuri with the flowers she made me.  I didn't realize it until Ms. Sherri pointed it out, but the flowers are cutouts of Zuri's hands.  How cool is that?!

Here I am with my Princess.

Friday night, my sister and I took our mom out for Mother's Day.  She loves Red Lobster, so that's where we went.  Zuri loves to check out the lobsters.  Before we left, we asked someone to get one out for her.  Here's a picture of Zuri just before the "attack".  Don't worry, the lobster was unharmed.  ;o)  Okay, seriously, Zuri pulled on the lobster's claw and it freaked out which freaked Zuri out a little bit.  She may be over her lobster obsession.

Zuri has never really been too sure of cousin Kyle.  Even before he grew the crazy long beard.  After being around him long enough though, she will at least give him a high five (or high ten in this case).

Saturday, we had dinner with Brent's brother and mom.  We went to Jon and Amanda's.  After dinner, the kids went outside to play.  Eli (a neighbor) decided to take the girls for a ride.

When the battery ran out, Eli was done.  Zuri took this as her chance to drive.  She didn't get far, obviously, with the battery dead.

Okay, so today was a BIG day!!!  We finally got the swing set completed!!!  We bought it on March 10th; you do the math.  Anyway, I know it is built to last.  Zuri tested out her bench area.  She approves.

Here's the finished product.  Isn't it pretty awesome?!

Zuri loves it.  She has already become a pro at going up the ladder (rungs are spaced sort of far apart) and down the slide.  She loves her door that she can open and close and the chalk board.  Basically, she loves it all!  When my dad and Brent were done, I told Zuri to tell them thank you.  She did and she actually ran up to Papaw and hugged his leg and said thank you.  :o)  There were several times during construction today that Zuri told Papaw to "move it" or "get out of my way" so a hug was definitely called for!!  Thanks Papaw John for all your help!!!

Oh, you must have thought I was talking about Mother's Day when I said today was a BIG day?!  You're right, today is Mother's Day.  I hope all the moms and moms-to-be had a great day.

Got a femur?!

Zuri woke up crying shortly after bedtime (probably never really went to sleep). I went in to get her and ended up changing a dirty diaper. While changing it, Zuri started to throw up. When she was done, she said, "I got it on you, Mommy." I told her it was okay. She said, "I don't feel good." Brent have her a bath and cleaned her up while I cleaned myself up and her room. After her bath, we laid in our bed with her and let her watch a cartoon. When it was over, we said it was time for bed. Zuri said, "No, I don't feel good; I have a femur." She told me I had a "femur" the other day when she took my temperature. :o) So cute! She is now in bed and seems to be okay. Here's hoping she just got worked up and that's why she got sick and not because of actually being sick. Oh, and she does have a femur but no fever. ;o)

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Brent and I went to a Cinco de Mayo party last night. Papaw John watched Zuri while we went. Of course, he said it was really a Cuatro de Mayo party. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In true Papaw John fashion, Zuri did not go to bed until about 9pm! She was still up by 7:30am. :)

We went out for pancakes this morning and then did some shopping. Zuri enjoyed riding on Daddy's shoulders while we went down the frozen food aisle.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!!!

Zuri loved the jets in the garden tub. It created a TON of bubbles. :)
