Month: August 2024

First day of school! This day came so quickly. It feels like yesterday that we left school on the last day to look at windows and doors for the new house. Summer went by too fast.

Yeah, I don’t think Eli’s awake. 🙂

We needed an easy breakfast of cinnamon rolls that could be heated quickly in the microwave. Getting back to an early schedule was pretty rough this morning.

Fruit to counteract the cinnamon rolls. 🙂

I pre-made sandwiches for lunch and store them in the freezer. This makes mornings run a lot smoother. All Paul has to do in the morning is take one out and put it in Eli’s lunch box.

First day of school pictures. This was his ‘I’m grown up, and have to wear a tie to school’ look.

We made it! Carpool was a beast. I’m soooo glad Paul drove us. Made for a less stressful day.

Paul’s work had a family day at Hogle Zoo. The last time we were here was when Eli was a year old. We won’t pay for the entry fee. It’s outrageously over priced, so when we got a free pass, why not?

Giraffes are my favorite. Especially the baby giraffes.

His arms are about the same length as gorillas arms. He is growing so fast. He has grown 1 1/2 inches this year!

They had a face painter catered just for employee families. He was very hesitant and he wouldn’t have done it, if it wasn’t for this young lady….

They ran around together non stop! She got her face painted so, he put on a brave face- ha! and got his painted as well.

Just chatting away with the face painter 🙂

He is a gray wolf.

They were carrying on a conversation as well….

Had to ride the merry-go-round.

I tried to get his picture with the tiger, like we did with the lizard, but there were too many people taking pictures. The tiger wasn’t cooperating either.

Oh, look how young he is!

The sun went down, time to head home. Eli had SO much fun.
