Fun with the Fish!

So - I'm a few days behind but lets start from last week - we went to the TN Aquarium last thursday - a few of us mothers took our babes and I must say I believe it was a success :) They had a blast touching the sting rays ...

For some odd reason Wesley was terrified of the butterflies - of course some of them were flying around like crazy - one even kept trying to get out the door it seemed :)

I think the pengiuns were one of the "hits" of the day, I know they were my favorite...

Anyhow - they seemed to love it as the pictures show - I plan on trying to go every year in Feb when I can get in half price. I want to go to the Warner Zoo this spring/summer and go to Coolidge Park and let them play in the water sprinkler system....I can't wait for warm weather!

As you can see we took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for lunch afterwards - and let them get all the energy they had left out so they would fall asleep quickly.....it worked !

So - Aquarium trip = success. So - let's see, friday no singing - Saturday got up early and took the kids to their Memaw's so I could go out to Joppa Pond again to being the vocal recording. And since I was actually having to work - I have no pictures on my camera - I actually got one or 2 on my cell phone but haven't put them on my computer yet :( So - I think it went pretty well - we finished 7 songs - have 5 more to go this coming saturday. But they are the hardest ones I think so who knows how long we'll be there! So - we ended up not having church all weekend due to a death. Clint ended up working all weekend so I pretty much stayed at home - much in part that Wesley had a fever on and off sat night and all day sunday - he actually did up until last night - he seemed to feel better after he threw up :) And that seemed to be the end of it. We'll see today I guess if it really is the end.

Have I ever said how smart my little girl is? :) Yesterday Wesley had some toy that she wanted and of course Clint told her that she couldn't take it away. So she smiles this little devious smile, looks at Wes and says, "Wesley, you want a KITTY CAT?" Of course at that word he perks up and says "Yeah I want a kitty tat!" Which she replies " Ok, let's trade your toy for a kitty cat - come on!" And talks him into giving her whatever it was he had and going looking for some cat. I'm sure a few minutes later he sat there trying to figure out what had just happened there. Oh! The other day we were riding down the road and Clint said something about smoking a cig and Alea chimmed in and said "Daddy - if you smoke you will die!" and I was like where in the world did she hear that! I'm all the time telling the kids that smoking is nasty - daddy needs a whipping for it, etc but I never say anything about dying. Well Clint said that Tessie told her that the other day - that if you smoke it will hurt your lungs and you'll die and so that is all she says now if it is brought up.

So - not much else to talk about now - more snow came - we left work early Tuesday because of it - now I've got a funeral in my family on friday where I also have to sing with Kellie and Shannon, friday night is Kensley's benefit singing, then Saturday is the last day of vocal recording.....so I got a busy schedule going on here! So what else is new! Until next time...
