ZOO

Last weekend we tried to take advantage of the nice weather and went to the zoo since we didn't make it there earlier this year. We of course had to go feed the giraffes even though both Maddie & Jack were freaked out by their tongues.

They thought it was funny to follow around the peacocks - this one that's white behind them was their favorite!

Train ride at the end of the day.

First haircut

At Granma's urging we finally went and got the "poor girl's" hair cut! It kept falling in her face and was all different lengths so we decided today was the day (well, yesterday was the day). This is her before picture - I couldn't get a good one to show the length because she kept brushing it out of her face - she was so excited to be a "big girl" and get her hair cut.

Until we got there - turns out she didn't want it cut. She was petrified of everything - wouldn't even take a sucker, apple, nothing!

And it never got better - if you look close you can see her clutching the booster seat for dear life. I promise after I took the pictures I did try to comfort her.

She was all better the second it was done - there's not much of a difference afterward except for she doesn't need something to hold the big chunk of hair back anymore.

Lost Tooth!

Well, the tooth fairy made her appearance last week when Jack's tooth fell out and as soon as it fell out the next one felt loose. Christmas list this just might have teeth on it.

This is Jack prepping for the tooth fairy - we had to put the tooth in a bag because it was so teeny we didn't want to lose it!

Fair Time!!

On Saturday we headed out to the fair in Shawano. Maddie got to ride her Merry-Go-Round again!

Jack going down the big slide.

While it rained we headed to check out some exhibits in the 4-H barn. Rachel's pictures were there with some familiar faces.

Jack LOVED the lego displays and when we looked closer we saw this one was Justin's!

Jack decided he wanted to try a "big" ride! He braved the scrambler and didn't look well during the ride but ended saying it was the funnest thing he did today!

The Merry-Go-Round again....so happy!

Picking ducks...

And then getting to pet a little baby chick.

First Day of School

Right before we headed out the door!

Loose Tooth

Jack's got his first loose tooth - and he's a little freaked out about it....and so am I. Forgot how yucky it is!
