Jr. Zookeeper Continued...

Hello All. What an eventful day we had today. I learned something today when I dropped Marie off at the Little River Zoo this morning. First off I must preface by saying I got dressed this morning in my khaki's, brown shirt, and my cute little leopard shoes (Target $9.99). So I went to drop her off. They have us walk into the zoo and bring the kids to a little picnic area. Now mind you this zoo has some animals roaming around such as big ducks. Well they are not the nicest ducks. So after I told her goodbye I started to walk back to my car. Well one of the ducks chased after me pecking at my shoes. I had to make a run for my car. Need-less-to-say I do not like ducks.

Marie had a great time again today. Her teacher out there told me that she is the biggest helper she has had. She also said that no matter what needed to be done Marie did not complain once. I guess this goes to show me that when she likes what she is doing she does not complain! Her big thing the past two days has been she got to make the rabbit her salad and bring it to the rabbit. I have some pictures of her from the day that I have put on a web album for all to see. The site address is http://picasaweb.google.com/jamielyn I will try to keep putting up pictures there as I get them. I found that this service through Google makes sharing my pictures so much easier. I have yet to try to order prints, but if I do I will let everyone know what is was like.

I must also share the horrible night I had last night. I put Marie to bed about 7:30 and was waiting for her to fall asleep. If she does not have school the next day I let her sleep in the room with me. Ok so around 10 she comes in and tells me that she saw an ant on my side table and one on the floor. Stressed I ran into my bedroom and found the one ant on my side table. Then I go and look next to the bed she is sleeping on. I notice a few ants near the trash can so I figure there were a few in there. Well in the corner was Marie's chewy sweet tarts that I thought she had finished two days earlier when I found the empty wrapper. Well you could barely tell that the candy was yellow. First off I HATE ANTS! Second it took me about an hour to get them all cleaned up. For the rest of the night I felt like I had ants crawling on me. I took a very hot shower, but still felt them. So now we have ant traps in our bedroom and Marie got in quite a bit of trouble.

Well I guess that is all that has happened the past few days. We had plans to go to Stations of the Cross tonight, as we have been doing most of Lent, but she was so dirty that it took quite a while to get her cleaned up. I guess we will not go any more this Lent. Next Friday some friends from bible study are throwing a "Spa" party for Marie and I. We are going to dress in pink PJs (thanks for the Valentine present honey!) and have pedicures and the kiddos are going to watch Barbie princess movies while the moms chat. It should be a lot of fun. I just love my bible study. They have been so good to me giving me Barnes and Noble, Michael's, and Sonic gift cards as well as this party. Most of us have been together for two years and when we leave I will miss them so much!!

Love to all.
