Happy long weekend!

Happy Long weekend everyone!

Yesterday we went to the Bowmanville zoo with Dave's parents. We had a great time and so did Austin. Except for one point, a goat tried to eat him. The goat stuck his head through the fence and tried to nibble on Austin but couldn't grab anything so he finally got a bite into his pocket on his pants and tried to pull Austin back to the fence. He was not happy with that and started crying. Then one of the baby goats got out of the fence and was wandering around so since it was the same size as buster the cat we tried to put him beside it for a picture. He cried. He may end up with a huge fear of goats for the rest of his life now..lol.

We bought some of the corn out of the machines and I got a few pictures of me holding out Austin's hand and getting the animals to eat off his hand. He mainly wanted to eat the corn himself. He would just sit for the longest time and stare at the animals. There weren't many tears so I'm assuming he had fun. As usual, here are some pictures.

First Animal of the day

I think this is a great picture

Happy smiles!

After the zoo we went back to Dave's parents and played in the backyard. Austin had a blast playing ball and we got some great pics of him trying to stand.

I *LOVE* these 2 pictures. So adorable.

*101 in 1,001 update: I have finished pretty in plaid by Jennifer Lancaster. Very funny, thanks to vicki who reccomended the books and let me borrow them. I am working on another one of her books as we speak. I've also been somewhere other than ontario or Quebec (my alberta trip a few weeks ago) and I think that's it. I will update more as I do them!*

I know it's been a while since I've written again... Didn't really have too much to post about. Austin is moving at an amazing pace. Less than 3 weeks ago was when he started to crawl. Now he's standing in his crib and pulling himself up on everything. The other night he pulled himself up onto the laundry basket, grabbed a dish cloth out of the basket then let go. He actually stood and balanced himself for about 3 minutes before he grabbed the basket again to balance himself. He's getting too big too quickly!!!

He has been refusing his food the last 2 days. Not too sure why. He would eat his cereal but wouldn't eat anything else, even the foods he has eaten and liked before. Plus he keeps waking up throught the night and crying but then falling back asleep. He is doing this now as I type. within a minute he will be back asleep.

I am thinking of opening and etsy store. I have my home made cards, I have my pacifier straps and I can make other things with a sewing maching and some paper so I'm thinking it might be a good idea. Etsy is an online store. Users open their own stores, and it's for hand made items. A lot of craft things and a lot of original things. You can get lego men cufflinks. it's kinda awesome. I might just try it for a few months and if nothing comes of it I won't loose out too much. maybe I will add that to my 101 list...

Speaking of 101 List, I cleaned and painted the basment bathroom. I looks a million times better. I even got 8x10 prints done in sepia tone of the river at the cottage which nicely match the beige/brown color on the walls. I also bought a new shower curtain for our upstairs bathroom (our old one was ripping and has been in there since we bought the house) and it really brightens up our bathroom. I was a little unsure if it would match the color of the bathroom but it actually matches perfectly! Speaking of the new shower curtain though, while opening the package today and getting the curtain out I happened to read the warning on the package. No it wasn't something smart like: Vinyl shower curtain, do not allow children to wrap around their head. Nope, it was Vinyl shower curtain, Do No Iron. WTF??? I would like to meet the idiot who thought they would iron a vinyl shower curtain. I know those warnings are on ther because someone thought of doing it, I would like to meet that person.

I really want to go to the movies. Transformers 2 is coming out tomorrow, actually I guess it's out now, apparently some theatres were having midnight viewings of the movie. Then friday My sister's keeper is coming out. I'm sooooo excited and want to see both of them. I think Dave's mom, sister and I are planning on going to My sister's keeper. (or at least it was brought up, not sure if we are going to or not)

Well, I'm going to sign off for the night!!
