Tip Top Thursday- Friday edition

I did go to Weight Watchers yesterday. I just didn’t get the post up since we went to the zoo afterward. And to be honest I was putting it off.

I gained 0.6 pounds this week. I guess I should be glad it wasn’t more. WARNING: major whining about to happen!  I’m tired of eating healthy. I’m tired of counting points. I’m tired of WW meetings. I’m hungry. I just want to eat.

Ok. I’m done.

At the same time, I am starting to feel cute again. I know that is vain, but I haven’t felt cute in a really long time. Some of my old clothes are starting to fit. I don’t want to undo everything I have done. So, I’m not giving up. I’ll get back on track this week.

Zoo

Today Daddy surprised us by coming home at lunch time. We made a quick decision to go to the zoo! Since we rarely get time together we wanted to make the most of our day together.

We started off at the flamingos.

Jackson got up close with a giraffe.

At the children’s zoo section we saw some pigs.

Jackson and Mommy petted the goats.

We also rode the train, but we didn’t get any pictures that I’m willing to put up :)

Jackson and I made an appearance on Meerkat Manor.

Jackson liked watching those silly meerkats!

We saw the pandas and some bird I don’t remember the name of.

We saw elephant behinds and giraffes and zebras from afar.

Mommy made sure Jackson got to meet Willie B!

Jackson had lots of fun!

But was hot and sleepy by the end.

Somehow a snake slithered into the stroller and followed us home. Much to Mommy’s dismay :)

It was a great first trip to the zoo!

Silly Boy

Saturday night before he went to bed, Jackson had an outburst of silliness. He took his pants off and then put them on his head! He was so proud of himself he started running around the living room and kitchen. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen!

Then today the silliness continued. I was sitting on the couch and I heard crunching coming from the kitchen. When I got up to see what it was, this is what I found…

Oh how I love that boy!!

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day at Grammy and Grandpa’s house. Mimi and Uncle Josh came over too. It’s always nice to get the whole fam together!

I bought a little baby pool at Target for like $5 a few days ago, so I brought it with us. I also put Jackson’s new swim trunks and his shades on. I was surprised he kept them on for more than 2 seconds. I think he felt really cool with big boy shades on!

Jackson did NOT like his pool at first. He screamed and cried and wanted OUT! I was surprised because he really likes taking a bath. After a few minutes he walked over to the pool and climbed in  and the fun began! I guess he just had to do it on his own terms.

Here he is contemplating the pool (with his cute little crack!).

Grandpa watched from the bench he built that morning.

Now he likes the pool!

This is what Daddy was doing while Jackson was swimming.

I didn’t get pictures of anything else, but we had lots of fun grilling out and enjoying all of Jackson’s cuteness! He also said “mimi” for the first time! And when I told him we were going to Grammy’s he said “nom nommy’s”  Such a cute boy!
