last week

This has been my last week at home for the summer...tear. :) At times, it has been challenging being at home with 2 little ones. However, I would not trade these last 2-2.5 months for ANYTHING. I have tried to do some fun things with Keatin and Will this week to celebrate our last days together. THANKFULLY, the weather has cooled down some and it is actually tolerable to be outside!

On Tuesday, we went to a "new" park by daddy's work...after we took him some Starbucks. :) Will enjoyed "digging" in the rocks with his heels - it was funny to watch!

There was a fun slide that Keatin enjoyed...and tried to make Will enjoy. :)


He decided he liked just waiting at the bottom and watching his sister...love his face/cheeks. :)



One of the things I wanted to do with Keatin this summer was take her to the zoo in Des Moines...and Wednesday was the day! I invited my principal's 3 daughters (Emma, Grace, and Josie)...and they were the best! Not only did they have fun exploring the zoo, but they were the best helpers with Keatin and Will. Honestly, if Keatin grows up like these girls, I will be a lucky mom!

Notice Emma holding Keatin in the next 2 pictures??? Keatin LOVED it TOO much...I had to pull her down after awhile. :)


When I told Keatin who we were going to the zoo with, she was SO excited and said - "Yeah - just the girls...and a boy." Ha! Our boy was the perfect companion. :)

Josie and Keatin, petting the goats. Keatin wouldn't touch these at the Omaha Zoo - here, she ran right up to them!

After lunch...a full belly. :)

Josie and Keatin!

And she even got to milk a cow! Only at a zoo in the Midwest, right? :)

We have laid low today...who knows what tomorrow will bring? :)
