Zombies Among Us

Hello Friends!!!  I wish I could see you and talk to you in real life, but, oh well :)
 
Last week, we went to the zoo!  As you can tell, everyone was super excited (actually, I think they were singing a song, but I don't remember, so let's just say they were super excited, which is true anyway)!
 

 
TW set up this pose for us!

 
Sometimes, when Smaug tries to fall asleep in the van, I give him a soda pop bottle.  He usually just hits things with it (like his head). This time however, he stuck it in his mouth and just sat there, for a whole minute... goof ball, just like Mr. E :)

 
A few days ago, we picked up two apple trees... and managed to get them home :) 

 
This morning we went bike riding (I did not die!)!!!


 

And now, for a story...
 
A few days ago, the kids were playing together.  I heard the mention of zombies, but thought nothing of it (as we frequently have zombies in our house, and dinosaurs, and dragons, and princesses).  However, I soon heard J chuckling, and calling my name.  Uh Oh, these must be cute zombies!  And then Mr. E brought me the zombie (which wasn't himself, by the way).  He had gotten TW's scissors and cut off various pieces of Smaug's sock monkey (made by  my grandma!!!)... like feet and legs and arms and elbows and an ear.  Then, they (because by now, it was everyone) removed his stuffing and flung it about the house (not a nook or cranny was spared).  And to top it off, Mr. E was carrying it around by its little hat saying, "oooo, I a zombie".  I cried a little and laughed a little and am still cleaning up zombie innards *sigh*... in the words of my FIL, "rotten kids" ;)
 
 
 
In Other News:  We are still working on house closing details, but it is so close, I can smell the new paint!!!
