We belong in the ZOO! and Happy Mother's Day

We had a school field trip last Thursday to the ZOO!! What fun this turned out to be. I decided to ride the bus with Izabella because she doesn't get to and she's been begging me so I decided that this would be a good way for her to get to do that. Somehow, I don't recall my hips hitting both sides of the seats as I walked down the isle to the back of the bus. Something must be wrong! They must be making these buses smaller nowadays! At any rate, because I was a bus riding chaparone, they gave me another student to be "in charge" of and who do you think that was? but of course, Mr. Drew! He and Izabella have become the best of friends, in fact, his mom and I are discussing the possibility of a sleep over with the 2 of them. Why not! Anyway, here are a few pictures of our day at the ZOO! hope you enjoy!

And then came, Sunday, Mother's Day!

Friday at school was Muffins with Mom day! She started out the day, but picking my entire outfit. Poor thing, it took forever, nope-that doesn't fit me, too small, wrong season, try again, etc. I went to school with Izabella, where she served me breakfast of muffins and orange juice. She gave me the bag you see in this picture (which was for Father's day too, on the back) and inside was a card from Izabella made for me. It read:

What I know about my Mom. (it was a fill in the blank)

My mom is very Sweet.

She is 99 inches tall.

She weighs 109 pounds (my favorite answer!)

She has brown eyes (actually hazel, but close enough!)

She has brown hair.

Her favorite food is Salad. (I don't know about that one!)

Her favorite color is Red!

She did one for Steve that I will share at Father's day! Anyway, on Sunday morning, I wasn't allowed downstairs until breakfast was made. Poptarts and fruit salad! She drew a few more pictures for me and gave me a very cute little card. We didn't do much the rest of the day and then we went out for dinner at a little place called the "Right Wing Cafe", one of our little favorites and then it was home and back to the regular schedule of shower, brush the teeth and then to bed. By the way, we all had dentist appts. last week and no cavities! for any of us!! YAY!

Happy belated Mother's Day to all of you whom I thought of yesterday and to my Mom and Mother in law again, Happy Mother's Day! Love and miss you all, XOXO!
