Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo this past weekend with Micah and Sam and we had such a good time. It really makes me laugh sometimes how much you have to pay for this stuff. $7 to get in the Zoo and then you are forced to buy and $10 arm band to do ANYTHING inside. Luckily Daley is under 2yrs. old so she was free, but can you imagine if she weren't I would've had to be $34? Just think if Zach would've wanted to go too $51. To go to the Zoo!!!

Aside from the cost, I really LOVE for her to get to do this kind of stuff. Especially for the first time. They had the Carousel running in reverse, the Haunted Train Ride and The Haunted Hay Ride. She is too small to be scared, but she was so observant!!! I really enjoy watching her have a good time and experience Holidays and things she's never seen before. There are pics to follow!!!

The Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch. This is our second year to go since Daley was born. We went with Micah (my friend) and Sam (2, her son) last year, so we made it an annual tradition and went again this year with the addition of her new little one Eli (5mos).

It is so weird to think that Daley is about to experience all of her holidays for the second time. She still seems so young to us! She really had such a good time this year though. Last year she was just too small to enjoy anything, but this year......she picked out her own pumpkin and fed the animals at the petting zoo. She even got in the pin with the pot belly pig! She thought it was a dog! She kept saying, "WOOF WOOF"! I have attached pics of her and Sam Gardner enjoying their day.

And, bless Sam's sweet soul because on the car ride home Daley was a force to be reckoned with. We extended our trip slightly passed her nap time and she screamed from Montevallo until Irondale. Her face was purple!!! Sam said she was scary!!!! We got home and she napped and she's doing much better now. When we got out of the car to drop the Gardners off Sam said "bye Daley, I hope you feel better"! He is such a sweetheart!

Zach's Softball Pics

Here are the pics of Zach playing softball. They are a little blurry, I know. No one told me not to use the flash if there's ball park lights! :)

It's Fall Ball Season

And I am NOT referring to football! Zach and I have both signed up to play softball AGAIN this season. I play on a co-ed team with the bank and he plays on an all men's team with our church. This will be our 3rd season. He is loving it and I am HATING it! I thought I would be good at this and it would be so much fun since I used to play. WRONG! In 3 seasons our team has won 2 games and 1 was because the other team didn't show up. Out of like 24 games or more we have won 2 (1 really). I want to quit! I vow to never sign up for this again. I said this last season, but this time I am soooo serious!

This is what our schedule looks like right now. Tell me this doesn't make you want to cry.

Mon. - Spain Park Ball Field for Zach's softball games
Tues. - Girls night with my mommies group
Wed. - Family Night Bible Study
Thurs. - Hoover East Ball Park for my softball games
Fri. - Travel for Auburn Football Game
Sat. - Attend Auburn Football Game
Sun. - Travel and Church

Do you see anytime in there for cooking dinner, washing clothes, straightening up the house, watching TV or relaxing???? Me neither!!!! I am so tired. I just had to vent my anger for putting myself in this situation.

Soon I will post pics of Zach at his last softball game. I took pictures! The camera is in need of being charged at the moment though. There will not be any photos of me playing softball on here EVER!
