American Girl

Today we took Addy along while Scott and I went to early vote. (Gotta love early voting -- we were in and out in 5 minutes). For the occasion, Addy wore her patriotic red, white and blue. Then we went for to Chick-fil-A breakfast. Addy loves Chicken Minis (so do I).

Sea World

Well, things have finally settled down a bit, before we get busy again next week. We have finished our move into my parent's house and all our stuff is in storage. (It is amazing how you can get a whole house into such a small little space.) Anyway, we closed on our house on Monday, so now we are just waiting for our new home to be finished. Of course, we have no idea when that will be, as the date changes from week to week. So, hopefully some time between November and January, we will be moving into the new house.

So, onto the topic of the post: Scott, Addy and I went to Sea World along with my parents and Peyton a couple of weekends ago. We had a lot of fun, although I know it would probably have been a little better had Addy been a little older. The park was all decorated for Halloween with pirate skeletons and pumpkins. Addy did love the dolphin pool though. You can lay on your tummy and feed the dolphins. They come right up to you.

The next day we went to a drive-thru animal safari. The kids were having a great time (I think it was mostly due to the fact that they got to get out of the car seats) feeding the animals until we got to the zebras. My mom had both kids in her lap in the front seat and a zebra stuck his head in her window. All three were screaming (my dad, Scott and I were laughing hysterically). It was pretty funny. Unfortunately we were too busy laughing to get any pictures.

Here is a slideshow of the weekend.

And a video of Addy at the dolphin pool:

Cooking

Sorry it's been so long. We have been soooo busy. We got two offers on our house the weekend of Ike. We accepted one offer and have been very busy trying to pack up our house, find movers, find a storage unit, etc. (We will be living with my parents until our new house is ready.) We are tentatively scheduled to close next week, barring any problems. We have already had the inspections and appraisal and all went well.

We were able to get out of town this past weekend to visit SeaWorld in San Antonio. I will do a post on that later though.

For now, here is a video of Addy cooking (playing) in Rusty's water bowl while mom and I were packing up the kitchen.
