Since our last post was in April I thought I'd just do a review of our last couple of weeks. At the end of April we drove to Lee's Summit to pick up a very nice swing set from my Aunt Kim. Her kids had out grown it and all it needed was a fresh coat of stain. Lauren absolutely loves playing on it and it is a great way to keep her occupied while working in the flower bed.
May 5th Chad worked with Mel Smarr remodeling an old Grey Hound bus into a luxurious RV so Lauren, Granny B and I packed up and headed to the Saint Louis Zoo. I'm so glad Granny B (my grandma) was able to go with us. She hadn't been to the Zoo since Matthew and I were little. We walked almost the entire zoo, rode the train, and feed to birds. We were a little late getting to the zoo so by the time we made it around to the elephants they were already put away. Lauren was a little upset, the elephant song on Barney at the zoo is her favorite. We did run in the Moreland family of all people at the zoo. They said they got there around 10am and by lunch most of the animals were full and lazy so I didn't feel so bad getting there around 2:30pm. At least by then they were all out and walking around. We stopped in Warrenton for dinner and dropped Granny B off at home around 8pm. 
May 12th - After eating dinner with Granny B and R.B., Chad, Lauren and I went out to Mel's house. His 2 daughters Morgan and Riley had a ball keeping Lauren entertained. We hung out at their barn and played with Cowboy the horse and Buster the fair steer. Then they took Lauren to the pool and let her put her dirty feet in the water. She said it was too cold! After that we jumped on the trampoline and went inside for a snack. They feed her nothing but sugar. She was in heaven. She had push pops, Popsicles, juice boxes, ice cream and fruit snacks. I was not surprised when 10pm rolled around and she did not want to leave. She has such a good time. Luckily she was so worn out she sleep until 9:30 the next morning.
May 13th - Mother's Day! I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Lauren and Chad had my house cleaned professionally, I got a new Dyson vacuum and then Chad BBQ'd for all the mother's in our family. Of course the food was excellent and having everyone over to visit was wonderful treat.
Today - May 16th. Lauren was accepted into Walnut Creek Day School! I'm such a proud mother. I say that like she scored extremely high on an entrance test or something. Nope. We've been on a waiting list a mile long and finally there was an opening. I will be sad to take her from Annie and Kenny, they've been such wonderful, caring sitters but she needs to be with more kids her own age and in more of a learning environment.
