Bucket Heads

I looked up from my computer to find two Bucket Head aliens invading my office.

Lions, Tigers and Bears

Well, not exactly. More like Flamingos, Snakes and a Fox oh my!

We took the boys to the zoo. We only walked around half because the humidity and heat really started to get to us all.

Ah, the Fort Worth Stockyards. I have been so many times, I couldn't even count how many. But I enjoy it still. Unfortunately we had some strong thundershowers this morning so the guy that walks the longhorn around for visitors to pet and sit upon was not out. I think he was who L was looking forward to most. The good news for L was that there were lots of cheerleaders there getting what I suppose were their Senior pictures taken. Most were wearing dresses with cowboy boots on. I know everyone thinks that's normal attire down here, but it ain't. ;)

L waiting for a shoe shine...in Crocs no less.

I thought this was neat, it shows the layount of cattledrive positions.

This however, was as close as the boys got to a horse.

Here are the girls L was eyeing the entire time.

Alright, I have no idea. Apparently L was shooting at Big C.? I ran to the Cowgirls room so I can't be sure.

Look at all the cowboy hats!!! It almost makes you want to buy one...but I refrained. ;)

I LOVE this photo of L. He is such a ham.

Look at this outlaw, and I mean L, trying to steal that poor mans gun.

It was, like, 9:30am and this joint smelled like BBQ. Yummy!

Some guy on a horse. (No, this isn't something you see every day down here.)

I love that there's a LOVE SHACK next door to the SALOON. Had to take a picture.

So that was our morning. a little drizzle, but a lot of sightseeing.

Bubbles Galore

What happens when your sweet toddler pours an entire bottle of Mr. Bubbles into the bathtub?

You make him and his brother take a bath at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Poor L had to turn on the water to wash his wash cloth. There was only about 6 inches of water in the entire tub, the rest was all bubbles.

Aliens

L and I went to see Aliens In The Attic today and it was cute. I had asked him if he wanted to see G-Force, and he was like 'mom, that's about guinea pigs' with a look of disgust as if to say 'mom, what are you thinking?'.

I get it, I am uncool. Whatever.

But Aliens In The Attic was cute, probably not an Oscar contender, but it served the purpose of family entertainment for an hour and a half this morning. Some good previews noted were, Where The Wild Things Are, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Shorts (which will be a MUST SEE), Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and of course Disney's A Christmas Carol with Jim Carey.

A day out of the house!

I know it's been awhile, and I'd like to say it's been because we've been busy doing lots of fun things. But that's not the case. Things have actually been quite normal this last week. We've stayed indoors a lot because of heat and then rain. But by Monday I'd had enough and we decided to go out to visit the new Lego store that opened at one of the local malls.

I like the mall we went to because not only does it have some really great shops, but it also has a really great feel. Everywhere you go they have displayed art, on the walls, as sculptures even some really great window displays. Although, I didn't take a photo of the Barney's NY window which was filled with about a hundred Mr. Potato Heads.

Here's L infront of the fountain after having made a wish...
