Music at the Zoo

We had a great Thursday night at the Abilene Zoo. They stay open late and have live music on Thursdays. It was one of my best nights in Abilene. The breeze was perfect for letting us just sit on a bench watching the kids dance. The music was perfect. It was just a guy and his guitar. He played James Taylor, Jack Johnson, Van Morrison....I was so glad to hear my favorites in the middle of this Gretchen Wilson loving town. Much needed.

The Great Vegetable Divide

I was informed (via a looooonnnng conversation) by Lucy today that she doesn't like "mean broccoli". Owen and Mommy like mean broccoli but Lucy and Daddy only like nice broccoli. The teams are realistic because today the mean broccoli was found in a sesame chicken Lean Cuisine. Only mommy and Owen like those. So, what makes broccoli so mean?

The same 3 pictures

Every time I try to get a good picture of my kids I end up with these same three poses. What's the deal?

Here we go...

Forget Underoos (the underwear that's fun to wear). My little Wonder Woman can save the world in Olivia's Belle dress.









Forget Spray n Wash. My little man made sure that the fudgepop wasn't coming out. Yeah, we tossed the shirt after a sturdy washing.





We had a great visit with Kevin's parents. Lucy and Nana got to make a special plate together at The Potter's Hand in Buffalo Gap. We went to the new children's museum at the Grace and walked in the park downtown to watch a butterfly and a water fountain. We ate some of the fine Abilene cuisine and I finally got to play Mexican Train dominoes. It was a lot of fun.
