The One about the ZOO!!!

ZOO

We went to the Zoo on Saturday. It was so much fun! The last time I went was when Matthew was a "wee" baby so it wasn't too much fun. We ended up paying a little extra for the wild pass which includes unlimited carousel rides and the safari train... totally worth it!
Matthew wasn't too sure about the carousel. I think he would have liked it better if he could have sat on my lap. haha
Unfortunately it was WAY TO O HOT!!!!!

We rode the safari train around the park which shows you the biggest animals. We walked to the koala bear exhibit and saw all the nasty bugs. We brought our lunch and were attacked by bees. Lets just say Kinsey got smacked a lot because of said bees. It was not pleasant.

After that we were exhausted and decided to call it a day and make the hour drive back to 
Queen Creek.  

At the beginning of the month Kinsey moved back in with me.
Can I just say? What a blessing! She helps me out so much and is so willing to help. Not to mention she's pretty dang good company.

I have made it through the first week of being a part time worker and full time mommy. It's been a little more stressful than I thought it would. Originally the plan was going to be that I went to work in the morning from 830-9ish to 1230-1ish. So about 4 hours and then come home and Berto would go to work. He starts at 2:15pm. With us only having one car at the moment, this plan was perfect...... That is until Berto decided to take overtime. When this happens I have to bring Matthew to work with me and work is difficult when he is there. Its hard to focus on what I need to get done when I am constantly checking on Matty.
 I LOVE having him at work with me and I'm lucky that my job allows me to bring him. ( I work for a pediatrician so its the perfect environment for him.) BUT, its distracting.

Hopefully today is the last day I have to bring him for awhile so we can have a less stressful week.
I want to be able to enjoy being home with Matthew.

Enjoy the pics, til next time :)

Sorry they're out of order.... Stupid Blogspot's new photo uploader SUCKS!
I love his face in this pic. (and yes I know my toe is WAY weird)

Is it bad that I have NO idea what is in his mouth?? No its not his teeth... He hasn't gotten his molars yet.
